yep.. paypal.. set up an account long ago.  Couldn't recall the password.. they emailed it to me at my old defunct email address..  couldn't change email address without a password.   couldn't use bank or card info on a new account since the "other" guy (who forgot his password and won't reply to his email) has the same account info.

Lazs... take a look at return path: http://www.returnpath.net/

Its a service that allows you to recover new mail from old e-mail adresses.  I believe it's set up for this type of scenario.

MT if you can't get PayPal to work, just send a personal check to the address on the Contact page of the website:  http://www.northoltwing.com/minicon
Make it out to Mike Waltz.
I like PayPal because it's fast (normally), but personal checks are OK as long as I get them a month or so before the Mini-Con.

FYI I submitted the final contract today.  There will be no cancellation.  :)
We still need some more registrations to break even, but we are very close, close enough that we decided to go for it.  :)
Thanks yall.  :)

Well guess what. I might be visiting my Californian pistol packing friend in Santa Barbara in October, and as that's not more than about 200 miles from San José...  if Lazs is going to the con, it would save me traipsing all the way to Dixon afterwards, or wherever he has his whinery. But someone had better tell GTOra2. I'm on his ignore list, and if he hears that I might be there he'll want to change his mind about coming himself - or else bring a machine gun to shoot me. I'd better check with AmEx to see if my travel insurance covers me for hanging out with you guys.

Tell me, are we all going to bury the hatchet? Seems that this BBS brings out the worst in all of us. Never had this worry at any of the other flightsim cons I've been to.

Al you shouldn't have that worry now.  The only shooting will be paper targets of bin Laden if we can find a range near the hotel.  :)

I hope you can make it.

Seriously Beetle, there will be no violence or bad blood at the Mini-Con.  If anybody gets out of line, SOB and I will sit on them.  I've only heard of one incident of that type, and it had nothing to do with BBS grudges, just alcohol and stupidity.

Well, the sooner you register, the better we can accomodate everybody.  Also, we hope to end up with some extra money beyond our basic expenses, and the more lead time we have, the better we can spend this money on goodies for everybody - pizza, kegs of beer, exotic dancers, etc.  :D

You can get the basic package as late as the first day of the Con (10/16) but there would be no guarantee of space for your computer in the Con Room.  We would bust bellybutton to accomodate you though.

The last possible date to register for the full package is October 9.  That's the cutoff for getting a seat at the banquet and an airshow ticket at the group rate.  However you could get an airshow ticket at the gate, but you'd have to pay full price.

To get the special group rate for the hotel room you would need to register by September 25.

I was kinda thinking we'd bust his bellybutton even if it wasn't needed.

Beetle... the trick is to find the biggest guy there at the con and kick his bellybutton early.  Either that or become his *****.  Either way... lazs would probably leave you alone afterwards.
