<div><br></div><div>...but what about the *badges*? We'll have some teaser photos soon. Let's just say we are going to be ordering thousands of LEDs.</div><div><br></div><div>Which leads us to the next point: in order to buy thousands of LEDs, have enough for everyone, and not go completely broke, we need to know how many to buy. You should buy your ticket, so we know how many badges to produce!</div>
