Hey Nancy!
How about this: One month in advance, AK members can fill out their info on the site and pay for the Fest via Paypal. Their nametag will be pre-printed with no waiting at the Fest. It'll have their first name and AK name in easy-to-read print, and a member color tag for easy ID. Color code:
Members will be green,
Subscribers will be red,
Staff will be blue,
Exhibitors will be black,
Walk-ins get no extra tag part.
Since we'll have a month to get these printed, there won't be a panic, and the member benefits by no waiting to register. Subscribers get to attend some free function... dunno what, and staff and exhibitors are easy to identify. Staff benefits by easier registration and shorter lines.
Of course, I'm making this up...
Great idea, one to add to that is some have mentioned a post count on the badges,
but maybe better yet say a yellow dot for members with 500 or fewer posts, to see
there new or possibly like some sites do with Silver, Gold and Platinum member status.
