It's not too late, we'll probably cut things off and send out addresses about the second week of December (around the 12/11 show), so as long as you have something bottled by then you are good. Just remember to send your address to Pythoner or myself (he'll be out of communication for a while starting shortly here).

I would advise cutting it off quicker than that. Christmas packages are going to be clogging the system by then. You will get better handling of the bottles the earlier you ship. UPS hires thousands of semi trained gorillas to toss boxes around during the Christmas season. Here is one of those temp hires in action with another company. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C-e96m4730

Ok, good point. I'll talk it over with Pythoner and we may put out the last call sooner so people can get stuff shipped ASAP.

Fortunately, they have had better training, and now can rip that suitcase to shreds in a moment!
