I just want to hear that I'm not alone! Seems like others have received theirs weeks ago and I'm still waiting. I'm madder than a rattlesnake at a Thai wedding right about now.
-
Word from WFMUers on Twitter is that ALL of them are mailing today.
-
I'd take it very, very personally if I were you.

No! Don't listen to her.
Nah, I changed my mind. Do listen.
-
Thanks for the update. I will not start start freaking out until next week then.
-
I still cannot find the sticker. Is there any way I can get one? I'll snail mail a SASE if you want...

Pretty sure the world revolves around me, so how else can I take it? Thanks for the advice.
-
I like to be helpful where I can. You're welcome.

Yes - the DVDs all got all shipped out yesterday - it was several hundred orders & we took them right next door to the post office.
Joe McGasko has been getting tons of inquiries & he doesn't know at this point what already shipped and what still had to be shipped...but now that they've all gone out, give it another week at least to make sure you weren't in the second pile of pledges!
-
Exciting news, thanks! :D
-
I had nearly posted today. "I'm in NJ, about five miles from FMU, and haven't received my stuffs" But I got it! Until Mr. Scharpling said it was done, I was waiting so patiently, and frankly figured, "eh, I'll get it when I get it". When he said they were ready and starting to go out, I started getting super antsy. The last few weeks felt like I was a kid waiting for Christmas again. Super awesome payoff.
It will get there, and when it does, you will be happy.
-
I had emailed Joe last week to be sure, he said pretty much what Christina said. He said to email him back if after a week, I still don't see anything. If I could wait this long for this, I can wait another week.

If you didn't see these over on my twitter feed - check it:
(http://c0013839.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/x2_6e94794)
That's at the beginning of the day - this pile is the rest of the fun packs to go out & it's about 7-800. They aren't arranged geographically, more like loosely alphabetically with random people pulled out of order when their addresses were updated.
and here's about half of the above stack packed up:
(http://c0013844.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/x2_6ea3234)
Coordinating an additional mailing on top of this year's swag was quite a thing. These are all done by volunteers. About half went out first, and then people were working on packing up this year's swag and then last Friday was when we did these.
Just so people know why it takes as long as it takes.
-
I must have been in the last batch, because I got the DVD on Saturday. It is so great. Thanks to everyone involved and all the volunteers
-
Good work, AC! I don't think everybody always fully appreciates that labors of love are still labors and that somebody has to actually do them.
-
Really hope mine shows up tomorrow. It's so depressing to come home and find my mailbox empty, while others are probably already bored with the dvd.
-
Like, I saw Inception 3 months late and nobody wanted to talk about it. It feels like that.
-
I just got mine on Sat. Spoke to Joe McGasko earlier this week and he said about half went out already. If you don't see it by mid July give him a call at the station.
-
ALL OF THEM WENT OUT. ALL OF THEM.

P.S. Poor Joe McGasko.

I'm more excited for this than I think might be healthy. Like, really this is going to define how my life goes while waiting for and then actually watching it during the next few days. Thanks for all the hard work getting it out AC & Kirsten (and everyone else)!
-
Ooh, it just showed up, yay!
-
I got mine today! So I officially don't care if any of the rest of you ever get yours now.
-
Feel extremely guilty asking this, but... if we were tardy on our 2011 pledges, would that affect our 2010 premiums going out? Unlike at marathon time, I am a workin' man these days and will put my check in the mail ASAP either way, but if there's penance to be served for the lateness, I'd just as soon know and not stare longingly at my mailbox all week.
Thanks!
-
I can't imagine that it would, assuming you paid your 2010 pledge.

No way, Grover. That would be deceitful business practice, death to a non-profit. No way Mr McGasko would ever let that happen.
-
I was really worried about the status of my DVD as I knew so many had gotten it, but I'm very happy to say I received it today! I'd give it until later this week to email Joe. Hope this helps!
-
I'll email Joe if I don't see it by this Saturday. But not before I hold my mailman hostage.
-
got my dvd a couple days ago. its amazing.
i didnt get any trading cards! waaaah! did this happen to anyone else?
maybe i'll email the folks at fmu but i kinda feel like a bother.
-
The mailman was really nice when I did a chokehold on him. Got the DVD just now.
Friday night planned.
:)
EDIT: never mind, didn't get the DVD. I got other nice WFMU stuff though.
-
yeah i got my '11 wfmu non-best show swag a couple days before the dvd. '10 prizes got lapped.
-
Still haven't gotten mine, but I moved a couple weeks ago and it be catching up with me. Am I the only one who is still dvd-less?

I'm still waiting, too, PJ.
-
Shall I describe it in excruciating detail for you?
-
I'm still waiting.
-
Got mine Monday. SOOOOOOOO worth the wait.
-
I just got mine! A good sign for any waiting Torontonians! I AM SO EXCITED. The trading cards are so beautiful.
-
Anyone who is still waiting, I'd say at this point you should email Joe McGasko because everything was shipped two weeks ago or before.
-
Anyone who is still waiting, I'd say at this point you should ...
-
I still don't have mine but I've been giving it a bit of extra time seeing as I'm international. Are there any other UK/Europe FOTs still waiting or should I be emailing WFMU if it isn't in the mail this morning?
-
Mine arrived today and I couldn't be happier!
-
At what point should I assume that I'm not going to get one? I pledged $75 twice during Tom's show, got the rest of the WFMU swag a long time ago, but haven't seen anything from the Best Show (the sheet that came with the swag said that the Best Show stuff would ship separately.)
-
I'd say it's time to email Joe McGasko.
