Hello from newbie! Free drinks anyone?!

[R.J.]

I liked someone's idea of putting our avatars on the back of our badges, with our handle. I should be getting in Thursday morning sometime.

I'd buy that for a dollar... But I am sure the goons are busy enough as it is.. :(

If we don't claim our alcohol Thursday, maybe Friday with interest? :D I'm foregoing the DR2K2 this year for a plane ride instead, should be a tad less stressful, I hate driving in the dark.

Who is printing out the avatars on PVC? WHen/where shall we claim those?

Actually, I was talking about printing it out and taping it to the back. The goons are busy, and out of the people that are going to be there, less than 50 people are REALLY active on these boards. Wouldn't be worth it. But, since people usually write their nicks on the backs of badges anyways, avatars + nicks would work I think.

Hmmm, I should get some sticker avery paper.. are the dimensions the same for the badges as always?

I have the Avery stickers for floppy disks, you get 9 per page with room to spare if you want top write anything.

I'd not print out 50 folks, heck maybe 25 or so, just folks who are known on this board, and all scantily clad females. :D

Avatars and Handles

It is probably a better idea to print it on something other than your badge. Put it on an old library card and punch a hole in it, then hang it from your badge strap. How often do you really see the back of someones badge?

Suppose we could make t-shirts with the Avatars...will there be room on the front of the badge for the sticker? We're only talking 2" sqare, or will yours be billboard size?

That's a great idea.. and then get it laminated at kinko's... Thanks Grifter! :)

I like Grifter's idea, but would love a shirt.. though those are always a hassle to set up unless you already know someone. But if someone gets the shirts together I will put in 20 bux for shirt :)

shirts

I heard one year that there was a shirt with quotes on it from various attendees. Maybe we can have a short with various avatars on it?

There is a kit to make an iron on transfer from your color printer, but even a blind man would be unsatisfied with the quality or lack thereof.

I can easily make keychains with the avatar on the bob, but I don't expect anyone's hands to be going into my pockets....

Thanks for the idea. I found some time and viola... you can see my custom avatar badges here :)

See, that's what I'm talking about. Looks Slick.
