"to add to the Festivities"
First, my apologies for being AWOL for quite a while. Starting a new business takes lots of time.
Second. The "RoachMobile" will be making the trip to RoachFEST '04, loaded to the brim with Roach gear. This will be a great opportunity to get some US Cockroach "collectors items". Mugs will not be reordered. If you want a mug (steel or ceramic) send an email to reserve yours. First come first served. Payment is not required, and special prices will be in effect for mugs as well as the luggage tags (which do not need to be pre-requested).
See you all at RoachFEST '04.

Final Plans & Pricing Very Soon
All of the open issues are being resolved as you read this. Very Soon it will all be on our website and you will be able to register and pay there just as you did for the pins and such.
A word of caution, sporting venues have captive catering requirements which translates into a very expensive proposition. I am working with the caterer at Lincoln Financial Field for the snacks and bar costs to get a more favorable rate. I am not optimistic, but I'm working on it.
Once everything is in place we need you to respond promptly as information packs need to be created the room layout finalized and of course the cash. who could forget that.
We're doing it guys & gals, Cool stuff

do i have to be a roach?
I never signed up to be an official roach. At least, I'm assuming there is such a thing. ? I just fly US a lot (well, not compared to all. I'm just US3), can I still register and attend?

Count us in!
Well I scored cheap tickets for me and Ms. rtpflyer from RDU arriving Saturday AM returning Sunday AM, so we're definitely planning to be there (at least for the Lincoln Field get-together - I haven't convinced Ms. rtpflyer that a minor league baseball game is a better option than a fancy Saturday night dinner out at someplace like Le Bec Fin or Morimoto's yet). Plan's could still change depending on my job commitments or my spouse's parents health situation, so I'll hold off on other non-refundable commitments until I need solidify them. I did go ahead and book a room at the Airport Marriott on the $124 "Stay For Breakfast" deal - so does anyone know how early they start serving Breakfast on a Sunday morning?

Less than 44 days to our history making event in PHL. Be sure to sign up. Space is limited. We need your sign up ASAP so we can order the right suite option for the game afterward.

Bob,
Is paypal working? It's not taking my c/c info. Is there any way one could pay by check? Also, who is coming from US and how many people have signed up so far?

, but I used a balance instead of my CC. I accept PayPal for my business and I've found that if my customers are having problem with CC's, they need to signup for PayPal in a separate transaction before attempting payment (esp. for AOL users for some reason). Then doing the payment after getting the account set up works.If you check the official roach site at http://www.us-cockroach.com/ , there is a way to sign up by sending Ira a check. Details are right on the home page.

I bought my Ticket on Pay Pal OK
Just bought my ticket to RoachFEST. Figured I better lead by example lest I be to much like US Airways management is with the workers. Do as I say not as I do. Now you have no excuse.
