To Dred and Others...

Two years ago Colleen and others had name tags for everyone at Nationals---don't know about South Dakota? So I'm just checking to see if there are plans to do this again---it sure is nice to have a clue who people are! It's a drag to get back home after the meet and find out all the STNers who were there but you never met/recognized/knew were there.

If it's already in the works, great!  Thumbsup If not, I'm happy to volunteer to crank some out if I can get a list of who's coming.

BTW, I think the ideal format for the name tags is...

SCREEN NAME
(RealFirstName)

...since a lot of us feel silly calling people in person by their screen names, LOL.

Thanks!

That's how we did it for ESTN last year.  I did it using the Avery label software and purchased nametags at Office Depot.

Absolutely.  Plus, I can use to re-tape broken ABS plastic.

No.  Neither am I planning on using the tire repair kit or wrenches.  But I'll undoubtedly need them if I don't bring them. >.<

So true.  

Some twist ties and duct tape were two items which allowed me to ride the KLR home when my left footpeg broke off a few weekends back while exploring some of the Laural Highland's finest DS roads with Garry and crew.   Bigsmile

The best zip ties ever are the disposable riot handcuffs cops sometimes keep in their squads.  I don't know why the guy in Eagle, WI had a bunch (probably for the occasional bar brawl) but it totally did the trick on my friend Jeff's ZRX for reattaching one of the rear footpeg mounts.  For all I know it's still an integral part of his bike.

I'm going to have to compile a list of people who've paid for dinner, though - I'll shoot that one over to you once it's done.  How much lead time do you need?

Hey Dred...just saw your post re: nametags. I like the white gaffer's tape idea.  Bigsmile But hey, if you want, I'm happy to print up some nametags. I don't need more than a couple days' lead time---just enough to run to Staples and buy some tags. So let me know! (And I'll keep an eye on this thread.)

Hey---here's an idea to stir the pot...why don't we put everyone's post count on their name tags?  Lol Could be fun! (Then everyone would know who the major blowhards are...including me...LOL)
