I don't know-I know it is a small % of us that have fully functioning commo gear (I do not-when I say "we" I mean the hobby in general).

I suspect there will be a few but not many.

Second, how are we going to know who everybody is? There are a lot of people attending this year for the first time and I am already confused. I think name tags will go over like a lead ballon, but should we start a "what do you look like / GA rally people" thread? I don't mind posting a small picture of me and the ladies on here. I don't know how they will feel but we will all have to do a lot of introducing at this thing. Real names and user names will be a work out too.

There will be plenty of room for your SuperDuty & trailer Joe. No sweat. I suspect we'll still be awake when you get there.

If you wanted to start a thread along the lines of "Ga. Rally-What do you look like?" that's fine with me. Or we could edit one of our posts in the main thread and add a picture........ I will probably delete the thread after the rally, since the site already has a larger overall "What do you guys look like" thread (linked below).

Keep in mind that pretty much the first thing we do at the campfire is go around the circle and introduce ourselves. 'Course, that doesn't do you any good until you get to the campfire.

I have considered a nametag of some sort so people can say "where is that idiot who put this goat rope together? OH, there he is!"

I'm like Blythewoodjoe, it will be kind of overwhelming meeting a whole bunch of new people, and names/user ID's. But name tags to me seem so family reunion-ish...I say we just make a point to introduce ourselves and share an adult beverage with as many people as we can.

I did t-shirts last year and lost a lot of money, so I decided against it this year. I had waaaaay too many made...................................

I will have some left over 2008 event shirts (I still have a large supply) and will sell them at a discounted price to try and recoup some money (if I break even at this point I'll be happy).

Depending upon how this year's event goes, we may do shirts again for 2010.

Name tags: I am totally ambivalent. I can go either way. Whatever you guys want to do.

While we are on this discussion, here is the "what do you guys look like" thread:
