Those pesky badgers....

Are any name badges being made for London, officially or unofficially? Might make my own if they aren't being done.

I remember there were a few people (including myself) who were disappointed that they didn't get to meet Matthew Cannon at Brighton and only found out later on who he was in some of the photo galleries that appeared.

I guess it worked out well enough for Matthew anyway - not being bombarded with all those retro fans.

Frankly I've got too much to do without namebadge duty as well... plus the logistics of getting people to wear them...

Fair enough. Was just curious whether any were being done.

I know you are incredibly busy with organising the event anyway so it's more a question on whether any were being done on your behalf than you organising that as well.

One could do like a couple of friends did when having a party. They got one of these: http://www.dymo.com/media/templates/cat ... Home_en_UK and labelled everyone.

It's almost impossible to organise because the tickets aren't named tickets, and people don't have to tell me who's coming.

BTW: are people waiting until the end of the month to order tickets?

Sometimes I didnt think anyone was coming and then there are hundreds! just leave the doors open!

About the tags, yes its a good idea, but to be honest, at bit Birmingham and the second Gossips I felt a bit gay wandering around with a name tag on...

Last time I had to wear a name tag on my shirt everybody thought I was a bodyguard or a waiter.

It's a good point (that I missed) that organising just who wants to come and the distribution of the name tags is extra work that's largely unnecessary. Plus, there's a lot of people who just don't like them so, unless there's a bottomless pit of money, not very practical to do. Sorry if my query irritated you at all, Chris.

I guess that with the excellent organisation you have done for the other Bitlives, the 'bar has been raised' as to what could be made possible by yourself.

Still, it obviously doesn't stop me creating a name tag/badge for myself. The reason why I will be sorting one out will become apparent on the Saturday of the event....

Spot on, Mr Tasselhoff. You catch on fast...which is surprising for you.

It's a cunning plan actually.

I guess we could put a note on the BitLive page saying "Want people to know who you are? Then wear a badge!"

Er, or something.

Deely-boppers with "HELLO my name is" stickers on the ping-pong balls.

It's the wave of the future, baby.

I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago -- any idea when the tickets will get posted out?

Chris Abbott · Post by **Chris Abbott** » 22/07/2004 - 22:08

Early next week. It's been a bummer of a week! *sneeze*
