>printing in such a tight space and two pieces of paper might prove a bit

>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!
