KING Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 15 hours ago, Zas678 said: If you get in line early (for the first 100), a wristband will get you the book corresponding to your number in line. If you don't want to wait in line, you can show up to the event (which I believe starts at like 7pmish) at the Utah Valley Convention Center WITH YOUR BARCODE that was emailed to you, and you'll be given a wristband then, which you'll then use to get your book. If you want to be there for Brandon's talking/Q&A, you have to get a SECOND wristband from the Utah Valley Convention Center on Monday Nov 13 starting at 10:00am. Also, while I'm not in the line (yet), I'll be keeping track of the length and such. So far there's 5 people waiting in line! Thanks for the update on the camping. Any update today on how many people are in line? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iarwainiel I Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 2 wristbands + VIP party tickets ... this is getting complicated. If I had time, I'd make a "quick reference guide" we could all use, but since I just got power and internet back after 3 days without (in Ohio with nighttime temp's in the 30s), I am scrambling just to get packed and ready to go. To those in line already: You are THE true fans and fully deserve those low numbers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Does anyone have an updated count on how many people are currently camped down at BYU for books 1-99? I saw a picture this morning and it looked like 7 - 8. Can anyone confirm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iarwainiel I Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm making myself a list of when to be where with what "documentation" to get wristband(s) etc. I'm coming in from Ohio, and plan to be at the UVCC north entrance at or before 10:00 Monday. What fun to mix-&-mingle with Sander-fans! Too bad it'll be so cold - we could recognize each other by our "Bridge 4" tee-shirts. My current strategy is to go back to my hotel and rest until the party, then read until I drop - - no way I'll be fit to work Thursday morning back home until the latest sander-lanche is in my rear-view mirror. Question 1: Does anyone know when and where we can get the 17th Shard buttons they're making? and if there's a cost? Question 2: I have one thing that has a barcode, but the last 2 emails from the BYU bookstore have not had a barcode at the bottom. Has anyone else experienced that? Do you think it'll be a problem? I'm not too worried (it's just a party!), but it's good to know what to expect. SOOOOO looking forward to meeting all of you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yeah, I tried to go say hi today, and the tents were gone! Yikes! They must have been growing beards, and broken the BYU honor code. ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoyBlu Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I just got an email from BYU, with my pick up ticket! I placed one order, and then a few days ago I just placed another order. I’ve only received the confirmation ticket for the first order so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am heading down tomorrow afternoon. Could it be that BYU has moved them somewhere indoors? I've been looking at the weather for Provo, and it's pretty chilly at night - - strategies that campers would use to keep warm might be a fire hazards. I doubt that the university would want steel barrels with burning wood like the unions used to use on picket lines in the winter (& maybe still do). No matter what, much props to those devoted Sander-fans! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I just got my pickup number. I get book 1080. Quite a disappointment since I tried to get on their system for 2 hours. :-( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 2 emails - a "received your order" one and a "fulfilled" one - and IIRC they were a day or 2 apart. I think I printed off the thing with the barcode while still in the purchase process on the BYU site. The emails have nothing attached, nor do they contain barcodes. But the barcode I do have contains the same order number as is on the emails, so it's probably all good as @Lightning said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will report back so everyone is in the loop as I cannot find any good updates on the line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoneTheMath Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 If anyone is looking for more information after getting the confirmation email, try calling BYU's main phone number. The phone number at the bottom of the email goes straight to voicemail. I'm jealous of all the people camping out. Enjoy your low number! I couldn't manage to fly out, so I'm trying to get my book mailed to me (without losing my #). Have fun at the party! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMormegil Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Work emergency making me cancel my trip out to the launch party to pick up my book. Anyone going to be there who would be willing to pick mine up and send it to me. Wiling to pay. I Have a confirmation email and everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
