Everyone is going to have to wear two of those "Hello My Name Is" stickers.

Left side, forum name.

Right side, what your momma calls you.

Just thinking about it, because I'm certainly not going to remember everyone's name.
 
I know what you mean Jack.

Although tags can be a bit too conference-thingy, I think someting like that may have to be done. It would certainly be better than the "stand up and tell eveyone who you are" and no one remembers anyway.
 
Not being greedy, just cheeky:

They should do t-shirts:

"I attended the first annual ernie ball open house, and among countless other bitchin' things, I got this neat-o t-shirt"
 
I'm just wearin one of the nice embroidered shirts with

DuBaldo Music Center
&
Beller's Music​

I will leave it up to you to guess my name :D

That reminds me, I only have one - gotta grab another one tomorrow so I'm not all stinky the next day. Showering only helps so much.... :o
 
Also, maybe color coded.
One color guitar, another bass.
And if we get caught mingling with each other it's okay.
 
Big Poppa has my shirt with my name on it.

And Jon has a Cowpilot shirt, but that won't help you to identify me. See, this is what I'm saying.

Pete will be wearing a shirt with his name on it, but is he DuBaldo or Beller?

Gavin has a lighter, but will it be stuck to his face?

I just think it would be easier to stick the tags on. That way, I can pretend that I remember who you are.

Nicer for both of us, eh?
 
I vote for those stoopid name tags too. As much as I don't like them, they work. I go to lots of functions where people have their name tags on and it really helps.

And after a few drinks, I'll do good to remember my own name! :p

I've never been so disappointed to miss-out on wearing a name tag... :(

sorrow . . we'll be with them in spirit . . "mate"
 
Jack you mean all those pics posted all over the Internet isn't really the famous Lord Bongo?

You no-shows should get nametags, take some digital photos and we'll photoshop you into some of the group shots.

Hey, I'm just a nice guy, okay?
