Hi Road Trippers!
Just a little head's up so that you can be planning ahead --
By the end of the week we will be e-mailing all of you a Microsoft Word document which will be the fill-in form for the annual Road Trip "Who's Who" book. If you choose to participate, you will need to e-mail or snail mail this form back to us, filled in, by July 1. (Wait Listers, don't worry -- if you are added into the RT later, we'll work with you to get your page done for late addition to the book.)
For those of you who are first-time RT'ers, the "Who's Who" book is an alphabetized book of Road Trippers' mini-biographies. It's a traditional RT souvenir that is Cathe's gift to you, and it's just a priceless tool for getting to know your fellow RT'ers, putting together faces with names and Forum screennames, getting autographs and making RT memory notes in the margins, and keeping up with RT friends in the future. Participation in this book isn't mandatory, but we strongly encourage it. You may, of course, omit any content that you're not comfortable sharing publicly.
Also, please note that you'll have the option of including a photo of yourself, which we'll reproduce REALLY TINY in the top right corner of the page. You can go ahead and be getting this photo ready to go while you wait to get the fill-in form from us. (Just a suggestion -- take it or leave it. ;-))
Here's what you need to know re: your photo: Because the picture will be reproduced in B&W and teeny tiny, we ask that you PLEASE SEND HEAD SHOTS ONLY -- think passport picture. (This is a small change from years past, when we accepted full-body and "family" shots. We have found that they don't reproduce well at all in the tiny, B&W format.) The easiest way to handle getting your picture to us is to send it digitally (in JPEG format) via e-mail. You CAN snail mail a photo and we'll scan it. If you don't have a digital camera but would like to send us a digital photo, no worries -- it's still easy to do. Have someone take your head shot picture with a film camera, and when you take your film to be developed just ask the photo place to give you the photo in digital format on a disc. Then you can upload the photo to your computer and e-mail it to us.
For those of you who are repeat RT'ers, we promise you that this year's Who's Who book will definitely be improved from last year's, which in our view had awful print quality on the photos. We knew that last year and weren't happy about it, but for a variety of reasons weren't able to re-do them. This year we are changing printers. ;-)
Post here if you have Who's Who book questions. I'll let y'all know here, also, when the MS Word form has gone out via e-mail.
P.S. We do NOT have the capability of handling Word Perfect, Works or other word processing software. If you don't have access to a computer with MS Word, please let us know. We CAN send you a PDF form which you'll need to snail mail us.
