I'm Back!!!

For those of you who don't know, I have been busy. However, I have also been keeping up with the Livejournal, and I will answer what I can with this message. What I don't answer I cannot answer, so please don't get mad.

First, what have I been doing that has kept me so busy? Do you all remember those little white sheets of paper everyone filled out? Yes, I know they were annoying. Well try this, I have just finished alphabetizing every one of them. That's right ALPHABETIZING 30,000 little white sheets of paper.

Why do I do this? Primarily it is to retrieve all of the pre-registration forms out so I have your paperwork for the next year. If you pre-registered and left with the copy, I need that sheet. E-mail it to me, fax it to me, or mail a copy of it to me, I do not care.

The secondary reason is if there are people who call me saying they paid for last year, and I do not have them entered into the computer, I can find the problem.

The second thing I would like to discuss is the pre-registration side at the convention. I have read all the suggestions, and some of them look like solid ideas that can be implemented right away. I like the idea of having one notebook for signing while having another with the labels only. It never occurred to me, but I have the power to do that. Also, I like the idea of getting rid of the maze in pre-registration, and just have lines to the booths while having larger lettering on the booth. The larger lettering I can do, and I am trying to get rid of the maze. All of the other suggestions were valid, but I have no control over them. So please do not complain to me about them, my hands are tied.

Next, if you have made any changes I need to know, please e-mail me. I would like to have them fixed before I shut the office in August. That includes if you have gotten married, moved, new badge name, etc.

Also if you ordered multiples but did not give us a second name in the comments box, I need that second name.

Last one, I would like to thank all those who have been answering questions for me while I have been absent from the board. There are too many to thank, so this is for all of you.

PPS. When I wrote the subject line, I had Kyle's cousin from South Park in my head.

Thanks so much! I know there's a lot of things that need doing, and of course you can't send what you don't yet have, but I really appreciate you getting back to me. :)
