Hear, hear. :)

Playa Info is in Center Camp, hours are usually 9am-6pm, and they do reunite people with their things all week in addition to post-playa.

Don't wait the whole week to turn something in; you can save someone whole days of panic and worry.
Savannah, you're as beautiful as you are intelligent. :) And that's VERY intelligent IMHO, making a post like that. Playa Information is a GREAT place to start. They have great people there like ali baba and Sir Francis Bacon who will do anything they can to help the newbie who has no clue.

If the ID is for going out drinking.. Hell just tape it to your wrist..

If your not a real wimp.. Put your ID in a name tag holder and pin it on you nipple or through the foreskin/camel toe

Jenny2hat, please forgive my friends. They are a rude lot, but they are otherwise harmless.

*purrs contentedly*

Savannah, thank you for being a sensible and sane moderator. 'Twas a pleasure meeting you last year at the meet and greet.

ID is a good thing sometimes when you have the RIGHT one. I still have a laughfest when I remember that the driver's license office tried to refuse me a new license when I told them by place of birth was New Mexico. The little lady behind the counter objected,

"But that's not part of the United States!"

I pulled out my US passport, put it down in front of her, and softly replied,

"Bullshit. Get me your supervisor."

I got my license.

Ah, the stories I can tell.........

I am a huge fan of the retractable cord ID lanyard (the one with the loop-- not the little spring clip) but even said... I bring my last expired ID.

Anyone taking offence at anything in my posts - tough. It's only an internet forum. Stop being overly sensitive. you are shallow and banal. Eplayans who spend hours a day posting need to make in person friends and mentally masturbate less.

I have all of the ID I'll ever need now with gray hair covering my scalp. And I remember getting offended (just a little) when the Wendy's order taker asked me if I wanted a senior discount when I was in my 40s.
