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.
Wait Whaaaaaaa[Phone Buttons being pressed]aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttt?!

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.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Thanks for the update.  I will not start start freaking out until next week then.
Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

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.

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!

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:



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:



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.
