To all ORIGINS convention attendees:

Beginning in 2011, VTES players will now be able to purchase your Origins convention badge for the "club" price of $35 by May 31, and for $40 in June (which includes on-site registration). This price will be available -- hopefully -- starting on Monday, January 17th.

***FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED*** you will receive a credit in your Origins account which can be used to purchase event tickets or be directly refunded to you. Please email me if you are one of these people so I can facilitate your credit.

I will be maintaining the "club list", and it currently includes the following players:

• everyone who has played VTES at Origins in the past 11 years
• everyone who I believe will play VTES at Origins, e.g. people who are on my Facebook page(s) for Origins or the NAC

I will be able to update the list at any time, and anyone who is a VTES player and wishes to attend VTES at Origins will be able to get onto the "club list" by contacting me:

• via message from my Facebook Origins page, at www.facebook.com/groups/129744447064017
• by emailing me directly at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and asking to be put on the list

It will NOT include children, spouses, friends or relatives, unless they are playing in at least one VTES tournament.

Please sign up for my Facebook Origins page and then select "Attending" on the "VTES North American Championship" event! Let's make this the largest NAC in history!

Thanks Kevin, for your help on this matter!

Nice, nice, nice! Thanks so much, Kevin! I tried to get a "club" together with my local group, but so few of them committed to going that it wasn't going to happen. This is very welcome news!

Our group code is "VEKN513". This is what you will use
in the COUPON CODE field to received the "club" discount.

But there is a catch! If you haven't followed the instructions below,
and emailed me your mailing address, you will receive the discount,
but later you will be re-charged the difference. So, if you haven't
sent me this information and wish to receive the "club" discount,
you MUST mail me your information!

How many events will there be? I know that info is in the Origins Cat, and likely on the fb page, but let's spread the word.

Once again, we will have discounted badges due to our status as an Origins "club". Read the first post in this thread to get fully informed, and note these specific items for the year 2012:

• the "club" prices are the same: $35 pre-cutoff, $40 on-site
• the cutoff date for a discount badge is: April 30th
• the Registration Category must be: CLUB FULL SHOW PASS
• the Coupon Code must be: vekn109
• the Business Name must be: VEKN
• the GAMA Member Club/Organization must be: VEKN
• Origins events are listed at: www.thelasombra.com/NAC2012/nac2k12events.htm

Just my opinion, but you should add the Origin events to this Event calendar as well.
