Chris is probably working long hours right now, given that it's summertime and his work is pretty seasonal. Give him a bit of time and he'll get back to you. You can also check with Jess or Steve (Dasnakes) about sending them the money. Jess is the membership secretary, so she'll be able to set you up. Steve is in the process of moving, so might not get back to you right away, but I assure you that he WILL reply within a few days.
If you are still having problems, let me know and I'll poke them all with a very sharp stick! LOL!!
