Who is going to commit to checking the Invasion site Email and responding to the incoming signup forms?

You will need to check the email here once a day:

webmail.midengineinvasion.com

login credentials
-----------------------

username: info
password: Z#wgzEaT


Who ever steps up will need to send payment info:

Mikes paypal address: mike95125@yahoo.com.

Mikes snail mail is:

Mike Lesniak
2179 Wexford Rd
Palmyra, PA 17078


If one person does it, no one will drop through the cracks. I imagine

We will need a record posted here showing who was sent contact info. I will gladly follow up with a PM stating I heard they received payment info and remind them we need the cash ASAP,,,blah blah blah.

Can we put an automatic reply in the mail box that says something to the tune of "Send Mike Money at such and such address"

This way, we will get replies sent out as soon as messages come into the mail box.

Zach

Do you know how to do that? Can we do that? Does Forrest need to do that?

I'm not saavy with stuff like that.

Since the form is coming from the Invasion site and not a DIRECT email address, I think this needs done via a manual reply...? No?

Eh, it will probably just be easier to respond to messages. I'll do it once a day.

Zach

First group of replies have been sent out. This is what I am sending:

Perfect!

Could someone check the site today and send out emails? I am remote today, and don't have access to proper email.

Zach

I will do it today. I will use your text. I responded to:

I will be at the dentist on Monday gettin a tooth installed. When I leave the office I will be on the road for 8 hrs. I have a meeting in Des Moines Tuesday and Wednesday. I will be unable to back you up. So Someone will need to get your back for a couple days if your not able to check the email.

I cant answer the message board Looks like a hell of a turn out.

I just got back from Des Moines and checked the email. There was a new application in there from Dave Kimple. We already responded to an application he sent on 3-16-09 but I sent the info again.



> Hello Dave!

Here is the info for payment. We received your request on 3-16-09 also. So you may have received the info twice.

We are thrilled that you want to come to the first MidEngine Invasion at the Hershey Swap Meet.

All information concerning the event can be found at our website: www.midengineinvasion.com.
Dr Evil (Mike Lesniak) will be handling ticket payment.

Tickets ($50 for one, or $40 for 2 or more people) can be bought via PayPal or by Check.
PayPal Mike at: mike95125@yahoo.com

Mail checks to Mike at:

Thanks, and I will see you there!

Yesterday we had Steve from Aircooled Racing contact us to invite us to his shop in PA (30 minutes or so north of Hershey). I made sure he knew that he was welcome at our party, but his email souded more like he wanted us to come to him, rather then the other way around.

Zach

I read that. Maybe he would help with the planning for the next one. He could include a BBQ at his shop or something. It would be nice to have one or two more locals so the weight isn't so heavy on one guy to find hotels, get a banquet hall, and keep track of the tourists.

No new responses today on the site. Where is everyone?
Zach

Just me and you against the World Zach.

I responded to a question from:

I saw where a degreeoff seemed to be confused on payment terms. I went into the info email and resent the payment info as a reminder.

The latest over the last 48hrs:
Jim McLeod
Lee Auerbach + 1
Josh Chambers (Degreeoff) + 1

The latest 24hrs:
Daniel Whaley + 1

Nothing from Barber Dave. Maybe he sent snail mail? I havent checked the mail today.

If anyone checked the email address and sent payment info since the 3/29/09 post who you responded to so we can keep track.

Looks like Root is stating he sent in an application but doesn't seem to have received the event payment info. I don't know him personaally and he doesn't have his name in the signature space on this posts.

I resent the info to Rod Roland (Root)

If you want..I will religiously check the email once per day.
I would be happy to do a daily email response if that works.

Dr,
914rrr PM'd me and asked for a refund...are we ok to refund? I said I would check.

Rich

I'm cool with that. I've been trying to cover Zach when he was too busy.

But follow what we have been doing. Cut and paste the contact info Zach wrote and then paste there info in this thread.

OK?

I'll refund them. Are they not coming now?

Yep, that's what he posted in the garage invasion thread.

Refund sent for $80

Awesome.
I will sit down tonight and do the email thing at 6pm...est every day.

To bad 914rrr wont be coming, they seem very enthusiastic.
Both are looking for work, and he got an interview that friday...gotta do that first.

Me, I started a job doing recruiting...its been a tough uphill battle and I have been watched like a hawk online etc.
After making headway and proving myself, they have re-focused on others...so I can now use a browser...

Its all a bit childish, but we take what we can get nowadays.


Rich

Hey Rich,

I've got the email thing covered. No worries, mate! Get in your new work groove and we will enjoy ourselves in under a month!

Zach

hey rich, that said...

What would be helpful is if you start updating the first thread in the RED MEI thread in the Garage with a list of paid ticket holders.

That way we can just tell peopel to see the first post to make sure they are paid.

Zach

No problemo.

Rick, give me a call...Im stupid and short attention span.

617-899-3273

Rich

How do we know who has paid?
Is that just in Mikes payal account?

Rich..

Also...who are these people.
dk@toast.net is Dave Kimble...any idea what his board name is?

Rich

OK,
So I will take care of responding to all the form inquiries each day after 6:00pm...when I am allowed to use a computer without big brother watching my every keystroke...

Once per day should be fast enough for these slugs.

Rich

If you want it it is yours. I really have no problems responding to enquiries though. I usually hit them around 10 AM.

Zach

Nothing new today, 7:30 pm.

I still dont know how we know if someone has paid mike.

RIch

Barber Dave is finally paid (Dave Kimple)

Nothing more

I checked the mail. There was a message to Zach in the box from Nathan. It looks like he should have been able to send in his money for dinner.

Here's my reply.


Hi Nathan,

Were kind of taking turns checking the mail. Glad to see you got what you
need. See you at the event!

Got this last night from the Webmaster at caymanclub.net



Of course, I replied in the affirmative.

Zach

Anyone we know? Who owns the site?

S'more:
Claus Murmann + 1 child

I checked tonight...
AA has offered door prizes, I forwarded the email to Ray...he has been in contact with other vendors.

I am sure Ray and I will be talking about it again soon.

Rich

..I mentioned in one of the other ECC threads. I spoke with George, he was sending stuff...he put it off...finally gave it to Reid. Now it'll actually get done.

again, even Reid said George loves to get himself in trouble; not following thru with stuff.

so hopefully Reid will be sending me some shirts and other AA merchadise. Also with a tune up kit. (plugs, points, condensor, wires, etc.)
