    Well considering at least 75% of the people who'll be attending are Pit people (whether lurkers or the 99 others who RSVP'ed) you shouldn't feel so awkward. ;) The organizers and volunteers usually wear them and we tend to slap em on you when you introduce yourself too - that way there will be many of us wearing them!

    p.s. it's far more awkward to forget someone's name/Pit name 5 minutes after you've had a 15 minute conversation with them! :mrgreen: (I know, I've done it myself a few times :oops: )

    Hey Foxy Mop, I reserved for the pre-party for me and my wife (+1) but can we make it a +1.5 as we just found out she's expecting. She will be roughly 4 months pregnant for the Chicago show.

    I admit when I went to the Chicago pre-party for Eddie Vedder 08/22 I felt awkward about placing a nametag on myself.

    But then when I had a couple of beers and I was alone and I started talking to people it just made sense.

    I was proud of my smarchee nametag and felt distinguished.
