And I see that the seller has a cute online name:  "hionsalt".  Nobody by that name on this Forum. . .

We're waiting -- although Marty the mailman may have delivered it to the house while we're down here in southern Oiho (that's O I H O, yes), and we're anxious to get it, too.  Nancy says she'll sew the fabric patch on my jacket, along with the one from USFRA, when we've got them both.  The one from USFRA has been in hand for a couple of weeks -- I'm getting worried that the BNI won't arrive before we hit the road.

We've all got our reasons to want it soonest -- but it'll arrive sooner or later, I do know that.  As for other reasons -- yeah, it'll be good to have all the rest of the stuff that's in there, too.

Wed the 16th. NO tube in southern IL yet.
Last year it was heavily damaged.
I wonder if it was totaly destroyed this year?
Some postal machine must not like the tubes.

Wow, down hear in the dog leg of the US... South Florida , notice I said leg. Just got my tube 7 days after the first folks got theirs. It pays to be close to California.

I really like the poster this year. A nice clean design.

Thanks.

I was at the Skandia post office this morning when Marty, our route driver, evidently heard my voice.  from the back, where he was sorting the  mail, I heard him shout "Hey, is that Slim Wennerberg I hear up front?"  I said "yes" and he said "I've got something you were waiting for - and I know it's important.  it mu9st be -- it's from the SCTA!"

Yes, it was the tubes, and I haven't opened them to see if all is in there.  As for Marty knowing about SCTA -- he wears the t-shirts that I bring for him each year and knows about  LSR more than most mailmen do. :cheers: :cheers:

There's a song by The Tubes called, "I Don't Want To Wait Anymore".

I'll check tomorrow's mail . . .  :cry:

Is the wide delivery span do to the USPS or do the tubes get mailed over a couple week period?

If the SCTA-BNI is stuffing and mailing the tubes as time permits I understand. They have to be swamped right now. If they are bulk shipped at the cheapest USPS rate I would think they would arrive everywhere within a week window.

I started to email and ask where mine was, but I see others are still waiting... waiting....

My tube normally arrives damaged with the poster creased. I always frame mine for the garage wall. The local guys (not LSR) check them out when they come by. Taking a poster home from the event is a pain. I normally fly in and the airline isn't gentle with baggage, risking damaging another.

The rule books were sent months ago.
I don't know what else is in the tubes. I still don't have mine.

Email Joann at the SCTA office, mine was complete with the items your missing were in a plastic bag stuck at the bottom of the tube to the tape on that end.

The poster has been known to hide pretty well in the tube.

Mine just arrived on Saturday, the 26th.

It's kind of like most of my parts suppliers - stuff shows up just in time to cause you to panic.
