[Artemisia] Uprising Pre Reg question

[John Gibson]

:-Forgive the ignorant question - but what is the benefit of
:-pre-registering?  Is there a discount offered?

Ja'mala,
	There are NO ignorant questions.  Statements maybe, but not questions.
	Well of course, You save $5, and the information is used in land allocation
(aiding your group to get the land it needs, helps layouts etc.).  But the
best reason for pre-registering for Uprising, is it speeds up getting
on-site.
	You show up at gate with your ID, membership card, and your
Pre-Registration Number (on the confirmation E-mail or postcard), and sign a
single line and your done.  If you forget your confirmation notice and don't
know the PRN# gate personnel can find it by name in seconds, and again you
sign on the appropriate line and are done.  Of course this is opposed to the
showing up with real money (no checks accepted at the gate.) waiting while
all the information is copied down (Name, SCA Name, Group With, Contact
info, etc) and sign in.  (With PRN# it takes under 1 minute, Pre-Reged
without your PRN# takes (still) under 1 minute, vs. the 5 or so you spend
filling out forms at the gate.  Of course I am not counting the parking
passes, but that's another minute, and you can do that when you park.)

(You know that sounds MUCH better when read in obnoxious tv announcer mode.
