We are still allowing for payments to come in. Seems some postmarked on the 31st still haven't arrived. Will update list when we have accurate count. (NT) -- T O, 20:24:08 11/07/05 Mon [3]

- I like lteh no cap and go to a two day feis myself - but then I'm not working it. (NT) -- Then there'd be time for everyone, 11:11:09 11/03/05 Thu [1]
  - Re: I like lteh no cap and go to a two day feis myself - but then I'm not working it. -- Trudy, 08:27:50 11/04/05 Fri [1]
    - Watch you fees skyrocket then, as venues are already expensive enough. Booking it for two days then doubles the cost of hosting. (NT) -- feissing already breaking the bank, 08:30:49 11/04/05 Fri [1]
      - What if you had 2 schools sponsoring 2 different feisianna, the same weekend... -- more, 14:23:29 11/04/05 Fri [1]
    - The Western Region almsot always has 2 day feiseanna. Surely the venue costs in Milwaukee are not any more expensive than in California. And their pricing structure is usually less than ours too. (NT) -- They still seem to turn a profit., 07:37:15 11/05/05 Sat [1]
Winterfeis -- Southside mom, 11:41:50 11/03/05 Thu [2]

come on feisworx -- wake up, 06:25:39 11/02/05 Wed [7]

  - Re: Read the message all the way through. After the initial form letter it says "Ignore the above" and the real message is below. -- I read the message, 07:38:40 11/02/05 Wed [1]
    - Cashel-Dennehy-- Please don't use FeisWorx next time -- Julie, 08:53:46 11/02/05 Wed [1]
      - Last year we were told not to use efeis and the year b/4 that we were told.... (NT) -- suggestions?, 09:15:55 11/02/05 Wed [1]
      - If you have the way, let us know. It takes about 500 man hours to go through all the mail that comes in one person cannot handle it. Maybe of schedule of registration would work better...More -- let's let it go now., 17:24:20 11/02/05 Wed [1]
        200? The first year we slammed EFeis, is was almost 700 at once, the next was more. I'll bet about 900 click "log in" at 4pm. (NT) -- try ticketmaster!, 19:04:42 11/02/05 Wed [1]
I'd be interested in knowing what ISPs were more likely to get into the feisworx site on Sat & Sun. I finally got in at about 4 PM on Sunday through comcast - went to the neighbors who had sbc DSL - and had no luck there either. (NT) -- Comcast cable modem, 08:11:58 10/31/05 Mon [10]
- we have comcast cable modem, too, and still can't get in (NT) -- :o(, 08:13:04 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- I have SBC-DSL and never was able to get in. Had a friend who also had DSL get about 4 of us in. (NT) -- Luck of the draw????, 08:23:42 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- Re: I'd be interested in knowing what ISPs were more likely to get into the feisworx site on Sat & Sun. I finally got in at about 4 PM on Sunday through comcast - went to the neighbors who had sbc DSL - and had no luck there either. -- frustrated, 08:41:33 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- comcast, go in right away on Saturday (NT) -- lucky I guess, 08:55:08 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- I have cable modem & was shut out like everyone else. (NT) -- T O, 09:14:56 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- We have SBC and I couldnt get in, until I went to my parents who have roadrunner - got in on the 1st try. (NT) -- KT, 09:54:46 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- My husband - a network engineer with AT&T - explained that there could be an advantage if coincidentally you are fewer hops away from your ISP - or if you are in an area with less traffic (more) -- OP, 11:00:38 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- Re: I'd be interested in knowing what ISPs were more likely to get into the feisworx site on Sat & Sun. I finally got in at about 4 PM on Sunday through comcast - went to the neighbors who had sbc DSL - and had no luck there either. -- laura, 12:01:00 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- Took about 30 tries with ATTBUSINESS.net and slow dial up modem, was in by 5:10 Saturday (NT) -- CCC, 14:30:12 11/02/05 Wed [1]
Please refer to the Winterfeis website for udates. They tend to get buried here. I also answer emailed q's more quickly than posted ones, just faster to do. Thanks. (NT) -- T O, 09:14:45 11/02/05 Wed [1]
TIP for Next time -- LM, 09:05:44 11/02/05 Wed [1]
After all is said and done, and not diminishing the difficulty and time spent by many, many people, are there many who did not get in who had hoped to? (NT) -- just curious, 14:19:47 11/01/05 Tue [2]
- Re: Last night at class two moms told me their kids didn't get in. They are experienced feis moms with girls in open and PC who started trying at 4 pm Saturday . . . . (NT) -- Julie, 08:34:54 11/02/05 Wed [1]
I'm at witts end I have an email saying I pd &over pd The web site doesn't show pd, so I mailed a check just in case postmarked the 31st, & now I get an email from FW saying I am going on a waiting list How much proff do I need that I paid? HELP (NT) -- Dorothy, 22:38:47 11/01/05 Tue [2]
- Got my answer, Joe Email me and we solved it. (NT) -- Thanks, 23:12:20 11/01/05 Tue [1]
Double payments, over-payments, other errors will be sorted out & refunded. Will take a bit for the dust to settle, but everything will be gone over carfully. (NT) -- T O (Feis Admin), 07:06:31 11/01/05 Tue [2]
- Wouldn't it be easier to give everyone an extra day or 2 to organize their payments than to sort out all the double payments?... -- KT, 16:22:15 11/01/05 Tue [1]
But online payment opened again last night for anyone that didn't get to the Post Office. (NT) -- I did it that way., 15:44:54 11/01/05 Tue [2]
- Yes, but we were not notified that online payment would be available... -- KT, 16:16:33 11/01/05 Tue [1]
Cap -- Mary, 15:01:59 11/01/05 Tue [1]
I think the feis should take a softer attitude on the postmark date. If someone misses by a day or so, it would be better to accept the payment than return as indicated on the feisworx website. Who needs more BAD pr? (NT) -- dance mom, 08:28:22 11/01/05 Tue [2]
- I absolutely agree. I find it terribly rude to drop a person because their payment was postmarked only 2 days after they found out they were in.... -- Crazy!, 14:31:27 11/01/05 Tue [1]
Can I still register my 2 music only competitors? I didn't want to tie up the site for the dancers, but 2 of my kids only compete in music and my dancer is in. Thanks. (NT) -- Kim, 07:57:50 11/01/05 Tue [1]
Hope you are feeling better. Is an updated list going to be posted? (NT) -- KOB, 07:31:58 11/01/05 Tue [1]
I hope TO and Joe are aware that many people never were able to access feisworx at all before entries capped-each time I could log on-there was no drop-down box for WF-I do have a life and a full-time job-could not sit on computer for 2+days- (NT) -- sad my OC dancer couldn't get in, 04:41:55 11/01/05 Tue [2]
- The Wait list is still open, & dancers will be added. (NT) -- T O, 07:11:37 11/01/05 Tue [1]
I'm In!!!!!!! -- Fed UP, 16:28:57 10/31/05 Mon [2]
- Re: I'm In!!!!!!! -- reelmom, 23:01:29 10/31/05 Mon [1]
both girls in, but "family payment?" -- reelmom, 21:57:07 10/31/05 Mon [3]

  - Re: you'll get a refund if you paid it twice -- reelmom, 22:27:11 10/31/05 Mon [1]
Okay, kids show up as registered on your list, but not paid. I mailed payment today (postmarked 10/31) Are they registered now FOR SURE? Or, do I need to check back to make sure? (NT) -- Thank you!, 21:09:36 10/31/05 Mon [5]
- You will recieve an email confirming that your payment was recieved. You can view the registration on your account at Feis Worx. (NT) -- T O, 21:41:58 10/31/05 Mon [1]
  - Not always true, I have an email saying paid, but shows up on feisworx not paid. What do I do now, am I paid or not?????? (NT) -- Dorothy, 21:48:42 10/31/05 Mon [1]
    - Email Feis Worx. Your credit card should show payment. Joe is sorting things out. (NT) -- T O, 21:55:48 10/31/05 Mon [1]
      - I did many times, even mailed a copy of the email, finally, I deceided not to chance it (not getting in)and sent a check post marked today. The charge was an over payment also(more than the fees were). Now he has a lot of my money (NT) -- Dorothy, 22:11:17 10/31/05 Mon [1]
Is there any point at all to try getting on the wait list? (NT) -- Vs mom, 18:19:02 10/31/05 Mon [6]
- why the wait list? (NT) -- go register before it closes!, 18:20:02 10/31/05 Mon [1]

  - Joe -- You're the best! (NT) -- Ignore the meanies, 20:03:30 10/31/05 Mon [1]
  - Re: We're capped! I've turned on online payments. More... -- No longer Frustrated, 21:00:02 10/31/05 Mon [1]
  - Joe, I know you don't want people paying twice but... -- concerned, 21:11:53 10/31/05 Mon [1]
winterfeis -- fed up mom, 21:11:16 10/31/05 Mon [1]
payment -- hope we get in, 19:52:50 10/31/05 Mon [1]
making us wait was the Trick, opening up registration (NT) -- is the Treat!!, 16:33:47 10/31/05 Mon [2]
- More like reopening registration when people are getting their kids ready to TOT is the TRICK (A VERY MEAN ONE AT THAT!) and the TREAT is the bowlfuls of chocolate I'm working thru after only being on the wait list after these 3 ridiculous days!!!! (NT) -- MW feismom (yep, it's me), 19:50:12 10/31/05 Mon [1]

feisworx registration- the future -- frustrated Mom, 06:08:14 10/31/05 Mon [7]
- Give this girl a prize, great idea!! -- Good thinkin', 06:42:56 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- Set by age or by dance level wouldn't allow you to register siblings at the same time. I'm thinking lottery drawing for the pribiledge of registering - or turn it into a 2 day feis with no cap. (NT) -- 2 day sounds like fun., 06:56:30 10/31/05 Mon [1]
- Re: feisworx registration- the future -- catie, 07:36:24 10/31/05 Mon [1]

after spending much of the weekend trying to get in, finally did, but went back to real life work today and completely missed the post office -- why such a strict deadline payment, 18:00:03 10/31/05 Mon [2]
- You will be able to pay online as soon as the feis caps, which is pretty near from the looks of things. (NT) -- lurker, 18:03:50 10/31/05 Mon [1]
