I want to add a complaint. How am I supposed to choose between Cookies with Jackie and Crafting with Kathy????? Crafting make me hungry. Can we combine the events? Can't wait to see everyone!

Silly, but easy choice, go to the food. Jackie wins for me, hands down!!!

 

[Braddy007]

Aren't the events in the same conference room at the same time? Maybe you could craft a cookie?

 

[disneyholic family]

are the early registration emails going out today?

 

[k8Davies]

today

I was think that along with when does registration open?

If it the middle of the night my time not a problem just need to know if I need to set an alarm to get me up

 

[Jeffrey Clayton]

Was wondering the same thing. If the links for registration were going up today.

we can wake each other up!
i've been checking my email all day today (given what you wrote in the other thread)..
i don't normally check my email very often during the day, so i made a point of it..
at least until my phone was taken hostage by my 5 year old grandson

[WebmasterJohn]

Nope - we are now cross-reference all of the folks who signed up as a Patreon Member at the last minute (i.e. as of June 30th) to the event sign ups.

Unfortunately all of this takes time.

 

[WebmasterJohn]

An email has been sent to Patreon Supporters attending the event with details as to when/how to sign-up for individual events. These sign-ups will start at 10AM Eastern Time on 7/3/2019. Half of the available spots will be made available to Patreon Supporters at the time, the rest will be available when we open registrations up to all attendees. I don't have an ETA on that yet but I will give you advance notice.

If you have not received an email yet please give it a few hours as it takes time to reach everyone on the mailing list.

If by later today (say after 12PM Eastern Time) you still haven't received the email and you think you should please send me an email so I can investigate further. Most likely you used a different email address for Patreon versus what you used for the 20th Anniversary event and they're not 'lining up'. It's an easy fix and I will make sure you get the email well in advance of the sign-ups.

Please keep in mind that once we reach 50% sign-ups on any individual event they will automatically close out to early sign-ups. If you don't get in please don't panic, you will have a chance to try again once they open up to all attendees - again, I don't have an ETA on that yet but I will give you advance notice.

I've received some questions that I didn't anticipate so I thought I would share the answers here in case others had the same:

1. There is no sign-up process for the live podcast recording. As long as you have credentials for the full event you can come to the live show.

2. For the events going on at the same time (i.e. crafting, pintrading and cupcakes) you can only sign-up for one.

3. You do not have to stay for an entire event but we do ask that you arrive on time, especially for something like Crafting with Kathy as she will be showing you how to make something.

4. We do ask that you stick to one event a time if they are simultaneous (meaning don't plan on meandering between Crafting, Pintrading or Cupcakes). The podcasters who created these events are limiting them based on the number of people they think they can work with at any given time and still give everyone an enjoyable experience. For something like crafting with Kathy she will have enough supplies for the people who signed up, if some decided to join late it wouldn’t be fair to Kathy or the other attendees.

5. Please do not show up for an event you did not sign-up for/get into. I know it would be tempting for those events held in a 'public' space but again this wouldn't be fair to the podcasters running the event and/or the other attendees. We will have a way to distinguish who has signed up for each event so we will know if you're not supposed to be there.

we will know if you're not supposed to be there.

My greatest fears are being realized. John knows where I'm not supposed to be....

@WebmasterJohn I have a quick question, in the email and above you say registration will open 10am eastern.

But when I click on the links the holding page say registration will open at 9am Eastern.

So really want to be sure as I’m in a meeting tomorrow 1pm-3pm UK time, so if it’s 9am I need to make sure I run out half way through, claiming I ate a dodge salad for lunch (who am I kidding I don’t eat salad) to get a spot.

Alternatively if it is 10am need to make sure I practice my pointed stares for anyone who tries to make the meeting overrun - I’m looking at you, Janet from Accounting

Thanks so much for doing all of this, John! Your hard work is a credit to your business. Have a great day!

It's 10AM Eastern Time. I have corrected it on the sign-up forms.

Tell Janet from accounting that no one cares about her spreadsheets.....

Good morning John,

Any updates on:
Thursday - 08/08/019

[disneyholic family]

Confirmed for Dole Whip Meet before DAH!

we're going to the DVC event that night so at most we'd be able to stay at the dole whip meet for a half hour - i figured it wouldn't be fair to take a spot just for half an hour. So i didn't sign up for that one. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun!!!

But i did manage to sign up for the other ones i wanted.
