    This is the first time I'm attending the customization class-- given that is says package pickup doesn't start until 6 pm on Thursday, how will I get my badge and everything so I can get into the class?

    My guess is that it will tell you in the letter. There is a Wed Nite registration for those in classes and tours. Backscatter & I are in the Wed. customs class. I suppose there will be an insert of some sort that will admit us to the class or we will just need to present ID or something to enter.

    That's the thing though, I don't know if I'll be there in time to get to Wednesday night registration, though I'll be there in time for the Thursday class. Hope I don't need to be there even earlier...

    If I remember my conversation with the Botcon crew correctly, we will need positive ID to enter on Wednesday. They should be checkign us at the door. Hope to see you and Backscatter there! :)

    Don't worry about it, you'll be fine to get into the Thursday class without making the early pickup on Wednesday night. Never been a problem before.

    I wonder if I made the first 100, the fax went in within the first 15 minutes, or so I was told.

    I'm leaving on a business trip tomorrow, and I won't be back for two weeks. This will give me incentive to dig through the mail when I get back.

    Got mine in the mail-- made the first 100 as well, yeah!

    And it appears that the package pickup time for class & tour participants is 9-10 pm on Wednesday, I'll likely be there by then! w00t!
