I made three kinds of cookies. They're all bagged 2 to a bag, and have lame little tags.
16 bags of chocolate with peanut butter chips
13 bags chocolate chip
17 bag cinnamon chip

I had no heat last night, leaving my apartment too cold to sleep in. I'm running on 2 hours sleep and about to be on my way to Boston in an hour. I know how you feel. I hope your cookies have enough sugar to keep me going for a little bit. Mine do, but there for the other PAXers.
Hmmm... I wonder how many we could make tonight.

Who do I take 'em to, and how/when do I get 'em there? I'm at the seaport, so it's not a big deal to get cookies to where they need to be.
If you could get back to me @boozysmurf on twitter, or my GF, @dogandgarden we can get these cookies into your hands!
Thanks!
Bring them to BYOC

*The face is in fact a face of determination.
The official hash tag for the brigade is #paxcookies. If you use this hashtag while tweeting a few of us are monitoring it but its primarily for brigadiers who need supplies or access. I"m also monitoring just the phrase Cookie Brigade but I'll add #needcookies as well.
Whoever it was, I gave you one of my trading cards!
it wasn't a demand... it was an announcement. the chocolatechip were wonderful
I bought some bacon and choclatechip cookies from Punzie...If anyone else have those, please let me know where to find you! You can have all my money!
Me: He dun goofed.
Friend: .........What?
And I've only seen one other brigadier on the floor. I want to buy cookies, too!
And really? Goatse cookies? You sick little puppies...
Tweet me @Landerolin
I actually only saw 2 brigadiers all weekend, and then only one of them had cookies, but wasn't actively handing them out at the time. I guess I was just never where you guys were? The cookies I got were pretty good, in any case!

On Saturday night, I just happened to come across two gentlemen who were willing to take a pic with me showing off my CB bag!
that's so cool!

Phew, I got home and immediately went to sleep... so tired!
But now that I'm awake, I can announce that we have officially earned more than $9600 for Child's Play!
Thank you also to all the bakers, who have made an unprecedented sum of cookies: more than we've ever received before, and that allowed us to continue distributing all the way through even right up to and during the Omegathon finals itself!
And thank you to the distributors, who ran around all weekend giving cookies to those in need!
And most especially, a HUGE thank you to everyone at PAX for your generosity: every single one of you who gladly took a cookie and contributed to Child's Play have brought about another record setting PAX for the Cookie Brigade, and another astoundingly large sum for Child's Play! You guys rock SO MUCH!

Ahhh!!!!!
I spoke with a very nice woman from the cookie brigade Saturday night at the concert. She offered me and my friends some buckeyes and I threw in $10 for Child's Play. She had Tetris toys for us to say thanks.
Later in the evening we saw a rolled-up poster on the ground and couldn't figure out who it belonged to. We are worried it belonged to our cookie guardian angel, but couldn't find her.
I haven't opened the poster in case it was something special/personal, but I still have it.
So if you meet this description, and are missing a poster, let me know and I'll figure out how to get it to you.
I baked for the Brigade this year and I can't wait to come back next year and distribute. I made my cookies with lots of love and I hope they went over well! Mine were vegan peanut butter, lemon poppyseed, molasses spice, and of course a crapton of chocolate chip.
You weren't the only one.
This was my second year, I only kinda sorta distributed at Prime and it was intimidating. This year was just as intimidating, but I found teaming up made it much easier. So I spent most of the weekend running around with AerynKelly and Robziel.
Highlight of my weekend was Jerry and Mike trying the VERY LAST ONES I had left. What an experience.
Yeah, I am in this club too. Intimidation paralysis got me down a bit. Definitely going to try to team up from the get go next time - the more the merrier, eh?
Also, whoever made the chocolate chip cookies using Alton Brown's recipe...rave reviews from everyone I passed those out to on Friday (ooooh they were gone right quick)! Had someone get one, take a bite, and promptly donate again for another.
But ohhhh man you guys, over $9600?! This is amazingly wonderful.
