In other news, I unfortunately won't be able to go this year (decided to go camping with my folks instead) so no one will be able to get my buttons. Sorry everyone! Maybe if we do it again next year.
Thanks Soups! Sorry to hear you won't be attending.
I think we should organize to put together a button package for anyone who's participating but not attending.
I didn't think to count mine before I sent it to redhalo. =( I ordered 50, but apparently that's not necessarily reflective of the number you actually receive. I wonder if they give more for an unexpected bonus, or if their counting machine for the process is inaccurate.
The machine produces a hundred buttons a second, and the guy that runs it has to guess how long to press the button.
Or at least, thinking about it that way makes me laugh.

Definitely give your buttons to someone to trade for you.
Well, still working on getting my higher res version of my baby pic for my avatar button (talked to my mother this weekend, she said she'd try to find a scanner). But I have the final design for the buttons I'm making for people who play on my TF2 server:

OK, do you guys know that "fanny" in English English means a totally different thing to in American English? We don't have "fanny pouches" here, we have bum bags. Yes, they are exactly the same accessory, but I'm sticking with the English name.

Can anyone who received their buttons in post a picture of the button and the template they sent?
I was wondering where the inner and outer circle actually fall on the pin.

I also have ordered my buttons.
I told them that white circular line can either be on or off the face of the button. I don't really care.
On the template I lined up the white circle with their black circle:
Do we wear our own button on our clothing and then attach other people's buttons to our backpack or other cloth thingy?
Basically how will I be able to tell which button is your avatar and which buttons are avatars of other people that you have collected?
Right now I am planning to have my own button on my shirt and then all my collected buttons on my backpack.

Just have buttons visible and really once you talk to someone, I think you will know if you need to trade or not.

I'm planning on having all my buttons on my messenger bag. I bet participants will be easy to spot with all the buttons they will have hanging off of them! If we get collectible PAX 08 buttons from Moe's G-friend *hopes*, we could wear those on our shirt as an extra hint.

For "fanny" means...uhm...the frontal regions. Thank gooshness one of my best friends dated an English.

LOL! That could be a hilarious subject for a PA comic! I definitely picture the repairman from the Deep Crow strips nervously twitching his finger over a big, red STOP button.
Thanks for the kind words, folks! Yes, I already ordered and received the buttons, and having someone else hand them out and collect buttons for me would be appreciated. If you'd be willing, please let me know so we can exchange info via PM!

So, as you may have noticed from our obscenely bright sigs, Qs23 and I run a podcast. We're contemplating making buttons for the podcast as well as our own personal ones. However, we're not sure it would be appropriate.
So, I come to you, the masses, to ask your opinion. Would it be ok if we did an RAPodcast button? Or should these be totally personal?

Personally, I say the more the merrier. I'll be the walking ad for ya'll for the folks who don't listen--which, I hate to say, is me. But an Walking Ad whore would be an awesome thing to do.

You have my blessing. As Tapole said, the more the merrier.
MaoChan: I love the design for the PAX 2008 Forums button. As soon as I get one, I'm going to wear it prominantly to advertise my Holy T buttons available to trade!
Nice buttons guys!
I figured since everyone else was doing it I'd break down and join in the fun, after all, I'll probably be the only person there from Wyoming. I'll get a pic posted here in a little while once I get it done.

I feel like I've passed an arbitrary experience point limit and gained more power.
So, are we officially getting button crazy? 'cause since I received my first set of buttons I've been thinking about other designs that I'd love to see on a button.

I've tried to look for the answer this (so forgive me if I missed it) but does anyone know what the rule is about bringing a large bag of buttons on an airplane? Is this an item that would have to be checked, or can it be carry on?

I'm slow to respond, but I'd be all over one of these. It would be cool to get more "bonus" buttons like my TWEWY one.
For "fanny" means...uhm...the frontal regions. Thank gooshness one of my best friends dated an English.

Also, fantastic button Marshall! It looks slick!

And here is one design for a PAX 2008 Forums button:
There's some good ones here. It's going to be fun!

I made it in their template size and everything so you shouldn't need to pay the $5.
Sweet! Can't wait to see them.
