Custom TA Wristbands for LoveFest?
Ever gone to a TA meetup at a big event and wondered wtf, how do I know who the TA's are here? So I brainstormed, and came up with the idea of permanent TA forehead tattoos! 
Srsly though...
We could order some TRANCEADDICT silicone wristbands (group order) and then hand them out at the meetups (or beforehand at the clubs). I found this company that prints them with no minimum order, but the larger the order, the cheaper they get. 30-59 bands would be $1.85 each, or 60-119 would be $1.79 each for example. Here's a picture of the blue/white (TA colors) band:
and here's an example debossed with TRANCEADDICT (text is same color as band):

Another idea would be to order (individually) the "ONE" wristbands http://store.one.org/whitebands.aspx. The proceeds would go to the ONE campaign, a charity with the goal of eliminating world poverty. The ONE wristbands are $1 each, but they wouldn't be TA custom bands.
If enough of us are together wearing these wristbands, then we're easier to find as a group and they're also cheap TranceAddict fashion statements that would last for years! 
If there's any interest in the custom bands, let me know...would take about 5 business days plus a few days for shipping, so probably best to place any order by Sept. 10th.
I could take smaller orders, say $9.25 min for 5 bands via Paypal, then place one big order on Sept. 10th for however many we come up with. Then pick them up at the TA Metreon meetup or I could probably also mail them out beforehand for a few extra bucks. Any leftover change (if the price per band goes down due to a larger order) will be donated to LoveFest SF (not looking to make any money on this here!)
All we need is 30 bands to get the custom bands for less than $2ea, and I'd put in the first $9.25 so we'd almost be there. No orders taken after Sun 9/9 and I'd submit our order the next day. If we don't get orders for 30 bands by 9/9, I'll cancel and refund anything paid via PayPal. If you're in, let me know and I'll PM you the details.
Edit:
Important! You will receive a PM with the information below after telling me that you want to order. Note that advance payment is required, as this is a custom order. I cannot pay for 100 or more of these upfront and then risk collecting (or not) at LoveFest. Payment must be made by PayPal (or cash at one of the clubs if you see me before 9/9, but make sure & write your name & TA name on something so I can remember you paid)...I gotta keep my admin costs low on this, as I'm running a zero profit margin already. 
So, please read carefully before asking for them. I cannot put your order in if I haven't received payment by 9/9. If you already asked for some and can't do this, just PM me and I'll cancel your order with no further obligation. Hope everyone understands.

Thanks for wearing TRANCE ADDICT on your sleeve! Here’s how to order your TA wristbands:
Please reply back to this PM with the following info:
=======================================
$1.85 x ____ (min 5) = _____
Est. postage (only if you want them mailed instead of picking them up): $3 *
* USPS has all kinds of new regulations about letters that aren’t standard-size, but I think this should cover it. If it’s more, I’ll let you know soon as I can get one of the bubble pack envelopes weighed.
Total _______
Paypal the above amount to: _________ (actual email address provided in PM only, otherwise the spam bots will collect it from here).
Bring your PayPal receipt to the TA meetup or put your name as it appears on your ID here:
_________________
If I can’t check your receipt or ID to my list at the meetup, then I won’t give out the order. Reprinting these in a small quantity costs a lot, so I need to make sure everyone gets theirs, no poachers…
Pickup is recommended, but if you want them mailed instead, put your name and mailing address below (I’ll mail soon as I receive them, but you may not get them until a few days before the LoveFest):
========================================
Minimum order is 5 TA wristbands @ $1.85ea, or $9.25. No problem ordering more in any quantity, just multiply the number you want by $1.85. If you don’t need 5, I’m sure people at the meetup who didn’t get them earlier will want them, and if you lose things like me then there’s some extra ones too!
Pickup:
At Metreon park TA meetup (10:30 a.m. Saturday), by the TA float before the parade starts, and/or after the parade ends in front of the museum immediately to the right after entering the Civic Center afterparty area. If you want them earlier and can come by the Chancellor hotel, I may be able to arrange a time to meet there as well. Just look for my backpack with one of the blue/white TA wristbands hanging from the zip.
Shouldn’t be any problem meeting up there, but if for some reason we can’t find each other then I will mail the bands out to you later after LoveFest (in that case just PM me, paypal me the postage, and I'll send them out).
See you at LoveFest SF!
=====================================================================

Good news! I have received payment for over 30 bands now, so we have met the minimum (that makes them $1.85 each) to place the group order.
I'm planning to place the order for these on 9/10. I will also call the company that makes them to confirm that this will allow enough time for turnaround before LoveFest (I'd like to get them by 9/19 in case any need to be mailed out).
Also, this is a reminder that the company is making these bands to our specs. and must be paid up front. If I have not received payment by PayPal or cash (in person) for your order by Sunday, 9/9 (this coming Sunday), then your order will be canceled. When I receive your payment, I will PM you that I did receive it and that your order is confirmed. If you have paid and do not receive confirmation from me, please make sure to PM me before 9/9 so we can figure it out.
If you've been away vacation or didn't see this thread until after 9/9, you can still order the bands directly from the company by doing the following:
1. Go to www.wristbandsnow.com
2. Click "Design Online"
3. From the band-selection scroll bar on the right, scroll down and choose color blue-white
4. Where it says "your message here," type in "TRANCE ADDICT" (without the quotes)
5. Click "add to cart"
A single wristband ordered this way is $7.74. Ten would be $33.00 ($3 each). Thirty would be $55.50 ($1.85 each).
It's much cheaper to get these by ordering a larger quantity, like I'm doing for us, but it is still possible to order them this way after 9/9 on your own (you should also check with the company to find out when they could ship them, they will do rush orders for extra $).
Once again, if you want me to include your order with the group order, you must send payment to me by this coming Sunday (9/9). Any questions, just let me know!
dabmn it! i forgot to respond to your message i just saw it! lol but hey im down to pitch in money too since it looks like u put in the most
Reminder: less than 3 days now to order and pay up! (no more orders after this Sunday, unless you want to make your own...see my previous message). Oh, if anyone doesn't have PayPal linked to their bank account, I found out that it's possible to pay it with your credit card instead (PayPal charges a small extra fee for that, but should be less than a buck). Please PM me first if you plan on doing this and wait for me to confirm with the total including the credit card fee. I have upgraded my PayPal account to Premiere for free, and can now take as many credit card payments as needed!
That is a really neat idea in2muzikk! I feel bad that I have neglected to keep up with what is going on on this forum for the past week or soo and now it's to late to order 
Hopefully you will have enough to sell me couple when I see you!

Hey TA's, thanks for everyone's strong interest and support in getting this together!!! I have placed the order and will let you know once I get them! Hope to see you at LoveFest!
