Keep your eyes open. They usually have multiple campaigns for the $300 lifetime membership that run each year. People on calguns were successfully signing up even earlier this month. I'm willing to help sponsor anyone who wants to be a life member if aloha runs out of slots.

And yes, holy cow do you get a lot of mail, phone calls, etc. Ugh. I remember reading somewhere that there's a number you can call to get you taken off the spam list though.
