NetHeads, Somebody brought up the idea of selling KRnet stickers a few weeks ago to finance KRnet, help with the Gathering if needed, and finance a "KR prop rental" program. Best of all, we'd all end up with KRnet stickers! Several folks have looked into having them made, and we're still working on that (anybody that has a line on sticker-making-for-cheap is welcome to contact me). By the way, the original logo was dreamed up by Oscar Zuniga, and actually created by former member Robert Covington.
I think we're far enough along that we need to know how many of these things we're going to need to order. The best way I can think of to do that is to let y"all order them, and then we'll know. You need to go through the online ordering process even if you send a check, just so we can capture the quantity we're going to need. Bob Lee has conjured up a web page to let you do that. Please pay attention and answer the questions, check the boxes, and do it right to make sure everything works correctly. One thing I thought of (actually my wife thought of it) that would make this a lot easier on me is if most everybody ordering would pay by check and send a self addressed stamped envelope with their order. This would make it very easy to open an envelope, look at the check, stuff stickers in the SASE, and go to the next one. If you do that, I don't even think I'll have to use the "envelope stuffer" volunteers. I'll still take Paypal, but that costs money, and it would allow me to screw up your address between my computer and an envelope, and would be a lot more work. You'll see on Bob's ordering page that there's a one dollar incentive to just send the self addressed stamped envelope with your check. As far as accountability, you're just going to have to trust me to do the right thing and keep up with it. Then again, I may only get five orders and nobody will have to worry about! The stickers will probably be 3" diameter and will be the KRnet logo, except with "KRnet" changed to www.KRnet.org so people can actually find it on the web. If five colors turns out to be prohibitively expensive, I may change the red plane to blue and white or something, and the background will probably be clear instead of white, with the letters still white with a black outline. This way, you can stick it on your airplane and have the color show through the clear. But it may end up with no clear at all. We're still working this issue. Whatever we end up with, I think you'll find a use for it. You can see the logo, and place your order, at http://krgathering.org/KRnet/KRnet_pro_shop_order.htm . We'll let it go for about a week before we'll call it "done", and then we'll place our order with the vendor. I'm not sure what we'll have to do about overseas orders. Shipping might be prohibitive. I'm assuming that if it's sent by slow boat (nobody's in a hurry, right?), five extra bucks ought to take care of most places, but I reserve the right to be wrong about that. Maybe the folks in places like SA or Australia could pool their orders and just pay shipping one time, and split them up over there. Then again, that might not make sense at all. That might be something you guys can work out among yourselves, if one guy from each place wants to volunteer to handle it. I'm open to suggestions. I'd rather it not turn into a complete circus though. So, get those checks headed my way, and don't forget to fill out the order form. My mailing address is on the second page if you check the box "order by check". No promises on how long this is going to take, but it shouldn't be too long.
