Did a little catching up on the forum after a (too long) while..
Wow, Maarten!!
Thanks for mastering project: Name Tags to your usual perfection.

Almost 200 people... can I say wow again without sounding too Paris Hiltonish?...
ok, one last time.. wow!

Yes, I think excitement has officially kicked in, cause right until a second ago, December 9th seemed pretty far away (given the long list of stuff I need to complete before going..)

See you all soon,

Hi guys just wanted to let you know I'm not attending now as I can't make the concert sadly. Have a great time

Hi Maarten,

Just new dinner plans on December 11, event #6.

Please change my party of three (#14,15,16) to "0".

Also, any chance of having the smooth San Jose lanyard instead of the Ghent buckled lanyard? I find the smooth lanyard more comfortable.

Thanks for all your hard work and beautiful name tags.

Good thinking, Bridger15 -
Much as I appreciate Maarten's sterling efforts with the lanyards, I MUCH preferred the Barcelona version to the Sligo (coarser, buckled ) version ! (Unless of course it's too late for him now )

I will be wearing my Las Vegas 2009 nametag and lanyard (I like the logos on the back) when I go to Oaklandx2 and Portland on my way to Las Vegas.
So, I can always switch the coarse for the smooth if need be.

Arlene, little lady, you're in luck (to paraphraze a certain singer in a certain hotel elevator)!
I prefer the Las Vegas/San José/Barcelona lanyards over the Sligo/Ghent lanyards aswell. I wanted to place my order for the Ghent and Sligo lanyards 8 weeks in advance at the time, but the (online) shop told me they could not deliver those on time, so I had to order at another website. And although I specificly asked for lanyards without a buckle, they couldn't do that because they only use buckled ones. Also, those lanyards were about twice (!) as expensive as the other ones. I'm sure they're stronger, but I like the printing on the Barcelona/LV/SJ lanyards over the Sligo/Ghent ones too.
So I made sure to place my order in time and everything is ready for Vegas (including something extra...)! Lanyards are very similar to the BCN/LV/SJ ones!

Take care,
Maarten

Well, you ain't LC or Kris Kristofferson but you sure are one classy gent.

Thank you again for all your hard work. I look forward to proudly wearing my new nametag and elegant lanyard in Las Vegas.

Now about this "something extra" ... any hints?

Agreed ! Maarten, I treasure both the rough and the smooth, thanks, and the different memories they evoke.

Maarten,
Is it too late to add my friend Linda Beney for 3, 4, 5? Also her friend Marilyn for 3&5?

If you can :Thanks! If it's too late: Thanks anyway for everything you are doing.

See you soon,
Anne

It's neverending and it's engraved...

@Anne:
I'll have those nametags ready for you and your friends!

@Arlene: I'll be making the extra nametags you requested too, thanks for the lovely idea!

Maarten

Hi Maarten,

thank you for your hard work, it means a lot for us!! I don't know when I will arrive in Thursday evening, howewer you will meet my friend Jeanne (Rosemarie) Thursday who offered to take my nametag and the "special items" (thank you for it too). But I have something to give you from Eva ..... I hope we can find each other among that vast number of people

Hi Maarten

I am arriving very early AM Thursday..Can't check in at Ceasars till 4...If there is anyway I can help you earlier in the day

Hi Maarten,

I wonder if it's too late to get a nametag...It is the last minute..

I won't be arriving until Friday at 6:30 pm, I'll check in at the Imperial and then rush to the concert. I'll be attending the Saturday concert too.

All good things,
