ack! I'm wildly behind and Hotmail has been giving me no love - and worse, no messages.

Steph, if you're still asking about nametags I usually go by Todd, but I answer to Toddson ... or "hey, you!". And if you need money for nametags, I'd be happy to chip in.

DX Machina

No space in my name either, please. It's DXMachina, and Ed for the real name (which you already knew, but what the heck). Or, you can skip me if you're running short. I can bring an old tag.

DW's name is Cheryl (with a C, she's particular about that)

You can call me Larry or bicyclops. Or Lar, The Larster, or El Clopserino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

lisah, if you happen to be around, insent to your profile addy.

Up where I live, the truly gross part of the cicadage (molting) seems to have passed. I think the worst we'll have for the F2F is the noise, noise, noise.

Huh. Really? That's one I *will* have to change, as I put your first name on the name tag.

Upon balancing my checkbook this weekend, I discovered that another $25 for nametags won't put me in debtors' prison. So no worries, folks. I'll also make a good handful of blank ones for stragglers or people who just plain didn't send in their info.

I was obviously reading this thread too late last night. I dreamed that I was making nametags and trying to decide whether to write "Hil" or "Hillary."

I'm amused by the fact that amyth's name and info and not mine has made it onto everything despite the fact that she hasn't posted here or been reading the thread and that I've been funneling all info to her.

Steph, real name is Sarah, as you know, and I'll answer to Sarah or smonster.

Vortex, did you really not get my info? I sent mine and amyth's at the same time, and then she sent hers again separately. Off to see if I saved a copy of that email...

Vortex, insent to aol addy. Please ping me back to confirm receipt.

I want to check with Katefate to see what route she's taking, so I can tell you a good place to meet.

Steph, I'll be taking I-74 in from the west. Any suggestions for an easily identifiable place to meet are greatly appreciated! And a place where one can idle in a car without standing out, in case one of us needs to wait for the other. It would be memorable, but not to fun to be arrested for vagrancy on the way to the F2F...

And Kate, is one o'clock okay? I could possibly be there earlier, but I have a bunch of errands to run before I can leave. (For eight months. jesus.)

Hmm. I seriously think I might have you meet at a sports bar that's just across the river in Northern KY. Because it's right off I-75, visible from I-75, and not a scary rest stop or anything.

Let me think about this for a little bit more, and I'll e-mail you both when I'm definite.

(If my flight had been later, or you two were meeting earlier, I would have had you meet at my apartment. Alas, it was not to be.)
