okay the time has come for me to start collecting names...
but before you hit reply, PLEASE keep reading. (because I won't be looking here for your requests and I would like for this original post in the thread to not get buried on a second page.
* I would like for you to
respond to me via my email lmpeck at cox dot net that is an L not an i.
<------
or just use the little email icon under the trampoline.
Thanks for emailing not PMing... It helps greatly to have all the requests in one place.
* Please remember that
the buttons are rather small. They are about 2 Inches in diameter. I use a photo as the background, put the year on it and something else that identifies you as being a festivarian. The fewer characters in your ID the better for the overall appearance. Less really is more.
* The
purpose of the button is ... was.. is .... well, originally it was to help us put faces to the names to the names of people we had met online and with whom we had been trading live shows or seeing in chat. I am no longer sure what it is .. and I used to want to put first names only on it.. which is still a good idea... but if you want the name that you post under, that is fine with me. I am trying to let go of all that.
*
Please just ONE button per person. And hey, not to be rude or anything, but if you don't post why do you need a nametag? Should I make some that say LURKER? If I do they will cost big bucks!!!
And why do your children need one? Saying that has caused me grief in the past but this is a huge project. FWIW, I always give in and do it, anyway!
The buttons are FREE to you from me and I need to keep feeling cheerful about this if you get my drift.
*
Don't assume that just because I made you a button last year, that I will automatically know to make you one this year. I won't know that. I am old and I am forgetful.
* You may choose to order a button with no name on it all. However, there is something nice about us being able to learn who is who once we get there and begin to gather, so what would be the point?
* The first
button distribution is at Smugglers on Monday afternoon. After that it will be at most of the pre-festival events. Once the festival starts, it gets harder. If you are in Town Park come by and see me at Maple Alley. IF you are not in Town Park, try to show up the Festivarian picture because I don't usually think to make it by the beer tent at noon. Watch for more on this subject.
* YES... if you are not at Telluride, you can get your button from me at
RockyGrass or Folks Festival as usual. If you let me know that ahead of time, that will be helpful
* Oh.. and ....
if you miss getting it from me, I probably am not going to mail it... and if you learned that last year, ask me. I may still have your button from a past year!
Thanks and I will add to this thread as soon as I realize what I forgot, but this is WAY too long as it is. Sorry.
You guys really are the BEST! I am looking forward to hanging out with you again.
Okay...deep breath... time to get off the trampoline and get busy.
See you there!
