Last Chance to Sign Up for 10-Year Anniversary Party

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the party-like-it's-2007 dept.

We have 700 T-Shirts coming in today and now we need to know where to ship them. So while you can continue to sign up for parties, today is the last day we'll be looking at the sign-ups to determine where to send shirts. You can sign up or host your own party and we'll try to mail lots of you schwag and ThinkGeek gift certificates. A note to people signed on for my party in Ann Arbor- we will be at Leopold Bros Oct 20. Pudge has a large party coming together near Seattle, Zonk has 30+ in Madison, and of course there's a big party in Palo Alto Oct 25 that Hemos & I will both be at as well. A reminder to all party planners- make SURE your email address is accurate so we can spam you guys and get snail mail addresses. Remember to take pictures/videos/etc at your local gatherings and submit them to us (we'll have an email address later). Whoever impresses us the most with their creativity in submission will win $1k ThinkGeek prize.

    Taco, how are you dealing with people faking a party to get the free swag?

    Have to admit it came to my mind "hey free swag!", and so I'm sure others will take the bait and do exactly that even if I won't.

  2. Slashdot PT Cruiser by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ok, I know this is off topic, but I figure this is the best place to ask. A few weeks ago I was shopping for food in the East Bay (SF Bay Area) and when I walked out of the store there was a teal PT Cruiser with Slashdot logos on it. I needed to get home but I was curious if that was someone that worked for /. or just a really hard core fan.

      Slashdot is part of a pool of pay for wierd advertising companies. you can whore yourself out for a couple of hundred bucks if you keep their sticker ad's that cover your car for 6 months. It's a paltry amount of money to look foolish as you drive around but several people around here do it. They want specific car types. Pt cruiser, Scion XB, etc..

      you get peanuts for making your life and car a billboard.
      I looked into it a year ago as a guy here at work did it, and I saw ebay, slashdot even digg in the lost of companies you can choose from. maybe I can find the phone number if you really want.

    You have to entice the crowd with teasers.

    Slashdot 10th Anniversary Party with free punch and pie!

    (After I noticed one party in England is offering free food)
