Ben and Paula, I hear you talking specific dates, but that’s not how this works. Gotta sign up for a position and wait your turn. Once you confirm you want a turn, I’ll add you to the list.
I think it’s reasonable to sign up, then defer your “turn” (which roughly equates to a month, no?) until a time when you know you’ll be doing cool stuff (visiting LEGOLAND, going to a cool convention, etc.) – so long as the others who are awaiting turns are down with trading up/down in the draft order.
