In Reply to: Vulgarathon III Update: Sign-up for Nametags!!! posted by The Marksman on November 26, 2001 at 15:02:06:
I got an e-mail asking if the Marksman was for real, and this is to confirm that he is and that he is in charge of the V2K2 nametag buttons.

: OK folks, here's what's happening:
: * I promised you guys an update to the V3 website, and I have yet to deliver. My big PC at home has crashed, and my workload and some personal family stuff has kept me from even starting the V3 mods. I promise by next week, I'll have all the new info up there. Basically, the site's focus will change from promoting the event and ticket sales to just pure info on what to do in town and what to expect on the day of the event, etc. Hang in there...
: * There's only FIVE more days left of the $69 group rate at the Holiday Inn, so if you haven't made your reservation yet, get in there before it's too late!
: * One thing that we MUST get moving on right away is the collection of names for the nametag buttons. Remember, these are for charity, so don't have us put your name on these things, then not buy them at the event, cause that'll eat into the charity money. If you have NO IDEA what I'm talking about, here's the scoop:
: Somber, Smalls, and I are putting together this project to raise a few grand for the disaster relief effort in New York City. Somber will be making customized buttons with a Vulgarthon logo and tagline, and he'll even add your name and handle to the button before it's assembled! The price will be $6.00, and 100% of the sales money will go to the Alliance of Neighbors of Monmouth County, a disaster relief fund in the Red Bank area. Try to buy one as a souvenir even if you don't want to wear it. They're for a good cause, and they do make a neat memento of the event.
: The buttons have room for two lines of text in the center. Here's how the text on mine will look:
: Len
: "The Marksman"
:
: So here's how you can have your name pre-printed:
: Send an e-mail to vkbutton@hotmail.com with the subject line 'Nametag Order' and in the message, list the day of the event you'll be attending and the two lines that you want your button to say. Here's an example:
: Day 1, Len, The Marksman
: or
: Day 2, Joe Schmoe, Silent Joe
: It doesn't really matter what goes on your two lines, just try not to make them too long, and try to stick to the format above, because we're gonna pipe all these e-mails into a database to automate the button printing. This is basically the three pieces of information we need separated by a comma. You can make multiple entries on one e-mail of you're ordering multiple buttons.
: When the V3 weekend hits, we're going to have the buttons at the Stash somewhere, probably right next to the tickets, so you can get your button when you pick up your tickets. Just ring up the button at the Stash registers with the rest of your souviners. This way you can pay with a credit card or whatever.
: The registers and bookkeepers at View Askew will track all of the button sales and the funds will then be forwarded to the charity. We're making 1000 buttons, and there's only 860 tickets, so even if you aren't going, you can still order a button. Just pick either day when you e-mail us your name, and add the words 'Ship Me' to specify that you want your button shipped to you. Later on, when the buttons go up for sale online at the Stash, just order one and specify the name that you left, and the customized one will be shipped with your order.
: If we get less than 1000 names, the remainder of the buttons will be created without names, and those can be purchased as well, either online or at the Stash...
: Let me know if you have any questions...
