From the Director of On-site Pre-reg:

"We are developing a bar code system for 2011's show. This of course means you MUST remember your post cards and if they are emailed to you, the print out with this individual bar code. If not, you will be in the main line only to be moved to the solutions line to be looked up and printed out. As it stands the plan is to have printers and scanners at each kiosk and NO MORE ALPHABET LINES. You will be in the main line and when you get to the front, you will move to the next available open kiosk to be scanned and handed your badge. This should greatly speed things up for everyone."

OMGYAY! Finally!

I'll believe it when I see it. I have to wonder why they have to be "developing" a system when there are established service providers they could contract with. Let's hope they don't cheaply try to cut corners and create an even more spectacular fail. Let's also hope that the repetition of "the plan is, the plan is" isn't just voiced to get us to shut up for the next 12 months.

It doesn't sound like they want to contract with anyone, which does suck, but at least it's more than we've gotten before. I was beginning to think they'd never step into the 21st century on this issue.

I still like my idea of pinning my yellow postcard to my shirt as my badge best. :-)

Oo, oo, I'd go for that! Especially after four hours waiting on line. Sheesh.

I just can't wait for the clusterfuck that is Reserving a Room at the Marriott. Wheee! Not.

Hm, maybe if I laminated it and stuck it on a lanyard. I hear way too many stories of badge theft to want to just wear something pinned to me.
