Question is, and maybe I missed it already, but where do we order them at?
I have had several car changes since last year and need new ones....

It's that time again.  The lanyards were a hit last year, so I'm gonna do it
again.  This time, I'm going to buy a laminator, so's not to impose on the
inlaws.  I also figured I'd buy laminating "pouches," which are more costly
but easier and neater than having to cut the tags out of a laminated sheet.
They will probably be a little thicker this year, too.

For newbies: I made "backstage pass" style ID tags for Cincy attendees and
brought them to Cincy, along with black lanyard cords.  Each tag featured
the lister's name, Vortex name order other nickname and either a photo of
their car or scirocco outline drawing (MKI or MKII).  They made a nice
keepsake and are a fun way to identify yourself to peeps who might only see
you once a year.

Sample from last year:

The big beotch will be making them double sided, which we realized is
neccesary in order to keep them from flipping sunny side down, as they did
last year.  I don't see how I can get perfectly aligned double-sided
printing in such a tight space and two pieces of paper might prove a bit
thick for the laminator.  We'll see.  I should be able to work it out.

In any case, Julie has set up the "order" page and I think she still has an
edit or two before we go live but we have to get the ball rolling soon.

Here are a few thoughts to consider:

Please don't order one if you already have one or won't be wearing it,
unless you wish to upgrade the one-sided one you have to a two-sided one.

The laminated part is called the "ID Tag" and the cord is called the
"Lanyard Cord."

I have to order lanyard cords along with the laminating pouches, so I'll
need to know ahead of time whether or not you have last year's cord laying
around.  That will save money.

Like last year, the price for these will be cheap; a couple of bucks will
cover my costs.

Finally, I will probably only offer these via the List and directly to a few
Vortexers.  I was fortunate to have only been stuck with one or two
unpurchased lanyards last year and I don't want to offer them to everyone
who *thinks* they're gonna make it to Cincy.  I'm not really fond of mailing
them, either.  Sorry!

Julie will give the green light and provide a link to the signup page.
Please don't delay - I want to get all orders in the next couple of weeks so
Timbo can get started with the artwork!

Jim
