prepay

So, i'd like to prepay, but the prepay system seems really unsafe and uncertain, any suggestions?

You just have to mail a check to James a few weeks prior to the event.  I used to do it when I was poor and in high school - never had a problem.

I do it when I'm not poor and older.  Saving five bucks for doing nothing is a good deal.  $60 a year - maybe more.  12.5% savings for spending nothing cannot be beat.

On the one occasion James didn't get my check (I sent an online bank check to him via Snail Mail, he thought it was junk mail - understandable, given how much there is these days and it looked like a credit card offer), he honored it at the event and dealt with it when he got home.

For those of us who hate writing checks, or are limited by the number we can write per month, is there any hope of an online method, via paypal or some other similar series of tubes?

The post office charges less than a buck for a postal money order.

James also accepts cash.
