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.

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'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)!

I got mine today! So I officially don't care if any of the rest of you ever get yours now.
This may be the year I will disappear.

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.
