Heads up. There is a major postage rate hike for packages come Monday and it is going to impact us getting our pieces back.

Here's my shipment as an example. I had 10 pounds in a 24"x18"x18" box; this cost me $20 to ship from TX to CA. The post office is switching to Dimensional Weight to determine postage. When you calculate the size of my box, the post office says it's DW is 40 pounds and they will charge for whichever is greater, weight or DW. So it will cost me $40 to get it back the same way it went less than a month before. Ouch!

I just will give you the evil eye if you wait until the absolute last minute.

Awesome! I needed another evil eye for my collection.

Hebert. Everybody always wants to give me an extra "r".   

A little note on this one. This one was really well packed with bubble wrap. While openning some of the pieces came off. We'll have to repair on site.

Crap. Well I tried.

A small request. Can you glue the loose ends of the "wires" coming from the R5/poles to the other R5 part on the walls? It should be on each side of the tab at the bottom. I would have done it myself but it seemed it would be safer to ship in parts.

Oh, and please don't use hot glue on those grey parts that came off the back. It will melt the plastic they are made of.

I do have shiney metalic black and that would look cool with the plastic girders on the outside looking like supports.

Just a suggestion:

I used this on several plastic parts (door panels, verticle pipes, "a/c unit" in back) of my buildings and the adhesion and dry time was excellent. I used the "dark bronze" which looks grey to me, but they also have a black. Got the stuff at either Wal-mart or Home Depot.

It really depends on how many hundreds of dollars I want to spend on this thing. We do have donated money that is going towards a booth banner, touch up supplies, booth supplies (ie internet) and swag but that will get eaten up very quickly. I guess it all depends on the size of the discount and if we really want to give out something more than stickers.

If you look at the link above it gives you a list of the regular and disccount prices on the various items available. I know I don't have the money for anything like that, but since you mentioned it I figured I get you the info.   

Personally, I always dig free stickers but then that comes from 20 years of skateboarding culture.

I bought the cheap value t-shirt, the wing logo hat and the smaller sticker. All logos have been approved by Mary Franklin so we are allow to give away shirts and stickers away at the show. Once the sticker arrives, I'm going to scan it and print out about five hundered of them to give out.

Instead of scanning the sticker, I could send you a file to print from so the quality will be better. Give me the size of your stickers and I'll resize the image so that it stays sharp. PM me and we can work that out.

What do you think about buying 8-10 value t-shirts to give away at the show for contests?

It looks like they have a bulk discount on 15 or more of the same item for the shop owner (I'm still learning about what they do so sorry I didn't have this info before): http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/shop_services.aspx#bulk

I don't see the value shirt on the list but if there is anything else you want, if you are willing to front the money, I can make the order and have it shipped to you.

Ok, I've updated with colored shirts for men, women, and kids(figured out how to make that work); three types of cap; stickers; and mugs. Hope these all work out!

After the show, if anyone would like to donate some high resolution pictures I'd be happy to do up more stuff for this.
