Best Source of LiveStrong Wristbands Closed for the Week of September 13
For the past few weeks, I've recommended that people interested in getting new LiveStrong yellow wristbands purchase a 10-pack directly from the Lance Armstrong Foundation On-Line Store, rather than resort to baying an unconscionable premium for one wristband on Ebay.
Over the weekend, I wanted to order 20 or 30 wristbands to send one to each donor to the Tour of Hope that supports me in the Washington DC fund-raising ride on October 9. When I went to the LAF On-Line Store, I received a message that said, "We are temporarily closed for site updates and maintenance." I have been going back to the store periodically during the day to see if it has opened up again.
Several readers have pointed out the updated FAQ on the LAF On-Line Store, which says the following:
{September 14} - We are in the process of upgrading our on-line store servers to better serve you. Until then we are temporarily closed for site updates and maintenance. We anticipate being back on-line by the end of the week if not sooner - thank you for your support!
I will continue to check the site each morning, and report here on Operation Gadget when the store is accepting orders again.

I can't wait to get the wrist bands. I'm 13 and live in Cedar Springs MI. I saw a kid in school have one.

Hollie: Don't forget that wearing the wristbands is cool because it supports and shows your support for people with cancer, not because everyone at your school has one or because Paris Hilton wears one. It's good to hear they are so popular though.
