Picking up badges for others

Last year one person was able to pick up badges for all of us. Can we do that this year and if so how? What do we need?

Did this for the past two years. Just printed a permission letter and scanned my License and Post Card onto the letter and emailed to friend. Worked like a charm. :)

So a copy of their bar-code postcard will do? Or do you need the real thing?

From the reply above it looks like the actual card is needed, but I called the DC office to make sure.

They need the permission slip and copy of ID and either the actual postcard, a copy of the postcard, or a copy of your email registration confirmation.

They did say to be sure that the barcode copies well because they'll attempt to scan it. I'd say if you're not sure, send the post card as well.

I got the same message. I need my friend to pick up mine since my classes don't get until 4:45...and I'm going from Gwinnett, so I still need to pick up my stuffs. Earliest I'd get to the hotel itself would be like 7 since it'll be high traffic hour in the fair city. First year I won't be able to pick up, but I'm glad that it'll be easier for her.

I'm sending mine off tomorrow to ensure a decent length of time. Bless Kinko's. I just wasn't sure if it'd changed since the new bar code system.

Oh, eesh. That sounds like..unfun, considering you gotta get in from Hartsfield, too. My friend is getting her Wednesday, so she can pick mine up soon as the lines opens.

Last year my husband went to Publix (and back!) while I waited in the registration line of DOOOOOOM and I thought we might do something similar this year. I was wondering the same thing, thanks!

Knock on wood, but the barcode on the postcard is supposed to cut down on the epic lines of doom this year.

Fingers crossed!!

Pimping a podcast

John and Troy were on The Unique Geek podcast to talk about the new registration system. It's only 30 minutes and it has LOTS of info :D
