georgeriley15 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Was the date typo on the "Bash" event badge necklace intentional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryd Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Being I designed and printed them... The WCB4 badge was redesigned from a older one and the date was changed however it appears that I looked at the wrong month on the calendar. So no it was not intentional, and a big ooops I need to fire the 3 proof readers that looked at the design long before the event! Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebl Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Eh, maybe they'll be collector's items someday! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yeah, I noticed that less than 30 seconds after I got mine... Still, they're great. Mine's hanging on my closet's doorknob, along with two of my previous Comic-Con badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 What was the point of bringing this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Speaking as someone who makes his living editing and proofreading, when you do it right, nobody notices, but when you do it wrong, nobody forgets. We all make mistakes--you have to a sense of humor (and a fairly thick skin) in this line of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Why would it have been intentional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Apparently this year ACE screwed up the name badge date for the Eastcoaster event, and enough ACErs were that bent out of shape about it that the guy who printed off all the name badges agreed to send out ones with the correct date if people wanted them.

texashorns82492 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 So, whats the big deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgodsey Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah, I figured out they had the incorrect date when I packed them for the trip. Since it was so late when I caught it, I decided to see how many people would catch it and roll with it. Out of the 240+ people in attendance, only a few pointed it out. Jerry does a great favor to us by printing these for cost and he also prints our super awesome RideWorld member cards. We are the only club that has credit-card style plastic cards (ACE uses that flimsy plastic crap). So in retrospect, I was one of the proofreaders and I should have caught it before production. But, I had so many other things on my mind regarding the event, Robb and Elissa's birth, our own pregnancy, and other problems of the world it slipped through. I would say I am sorry, but honestly, I am not. Its a trivial thing compared to not having the event at all! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMAN962 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Yup, I noticed. I don't mind, though. I'm just glad I got to go! I noticed it almost immediately, but I don't mind! I'm looking at it right now, as I type this sentence. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
