I'm fine with name tags but I dont' want to treat them like 'tickets'. You all need to remember that a lot of people bring stuff early in the day stealth. A lot of people are customers that we invite during the day on Friday. Let's not punish those people because they don't bring something.
Bring stuff because you want to promote a family environment. No strings. If you find yourself looking at plates that are too filled, you need a Pype Bomb! It's all good!
Another thing you don't see is that a lot of these people don't even know they are suppose to contribute but after a few times, I see them figuring it out for themselves and then they feel bad and cross over from the dark side. Your contributions bring in new people and convert people over time.....not everyone but we don't need everyone to 'get it'.
Lastly, this year is in a different place with a different landmark. I think you will see a more representative sample of PY forums members than in the past. But even if you don't.....
Just look at the big picture. All our contributions foster and promote some serious good will for the event and our hobby.
