Role: Baking and some distribution if you can't get enough people.

I posted in the last thread since I was blind and had to use the Forum Search button. I hope I didn't upset too many people by doing that. This is my first PAX so I'm a little nervous. ;A;

This might be a silly question, but...it doesn't just have to be cookies, right?

What I'm saying is that I make a mean batch of butterscotch brownies.

I will hunt you down and buy all of those.

...Well at least 4 or so.

Yeah, non cookie baked goods is fine. One of the most popular items last year (and by that I mean the item I dropped 10 bucks at least on) was caramels.

Those caramels were made by Katherine. Her website is http://www.katherine-anne.com. I'm not affiliated with her in any way, I just happen to have her card still with me. She and her husband were very nice individuals and the vanilla caramels were fantastic. She made a wonderful addition to the cookie brigade!

Thanks for the PM reminder chibidani!

I will indeed be making buttloads of Butterscotch Brownies for PAX. My info!

Name: Bo
Arrival: I get in Thursday afternoon-ish
Distribution: I can distribute my own stuff!

I'm also a part of BYOC, so I was thinking that I could distribute brownies there, since they open 2 hours before the rest of the con opens. I need to double check to see if they allow food in the BYOC, though...

I threw up a website to help with coordination that I can keep updated and all of that jazz. It's at: http://cookiebrigade.chargingwombat.com

It isn't to step on any toes or anything so I hope it isn't overwriting anyone's efforts, but there's also a sign up sheet there where you can stick information to contact you by during PAX for coordination info in case people want to drop off/pick up cookies or need a safe place to count cash during the event.

I'm on the Google Group already... the crazy one with the ice planets. I'll likely arrive at the Con late on Friday with fewer cookies than I'd like thanks to needing to set up my computer lab before school starts. Yay teacher pre-service week!

I'm going to ask this and I fear for my safety when I do, but I'm going to anyway. For the benefit of that ever so loud minority that are coming to PAX from Great Britain, would it be at all possible to have the 'Cookie Brigade' have the sub-title of 'Biscuit Brigade'? It'll help my follow subjects of the Queen comprehend what is contained in the large boxes you're carrying around, for the word 'cookie' doesn't really mean much to us. You never know, we may even give you pony (£25/$US 40) for a single biscuit/cookie by way of gratitude.

For more information about the concept of biscuits and why you should dunk them in tea, see the fabulously British web site that is A Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down.

Right, I'll go back to watching England being beaten by Australia at cricket and admiring my wonky teeth in a mirror.

Guys, the cookie brigade is awesome and so is everyone who helps out with it. A very welcome site in BYOC last year and I look forward to more delicious treats this year.

Kropotkin!

I wish I had photoshop skills... I envision a Cookie brigade logo now with a U.S. and U.K. flag in front of a giant cookie with "Cookie Brigade" over the U.S. flag and "Biscuit Brigade" over the U.K. flag. I'd totally wear that. =)

And thanks Cronus! We will be there to serve! =)

Wait there were non-cookie baked goods last year and I didn't know?!

You guys did a fantastic job keeping us sane in those line-ups last year, and I can't wait to see those glorious mounds of cookies again

Quick question for all you bakers and consumers! I'm making Console Harmony Cakes in hopes that they will bring together 7th Gen. gamers from every faction. Cheesy, I know.

The only problem is I'm not sure how they should look. I have the Simon look and the wave look. Which do you think would appeal more? Feel free to PM me so we don't clog up the thread. Thanks!

Okay, time to post more. It looks like things are mostly good to go - we have buttons on order, I have the materials to make a WHACKLOAD of cookies (went to Costco, got a 20kg bag of flour, 36 eggs, 2 huge packs of chocolate chips, and tons of shortening), and I have a mostly complete list of participants.

It looks like most people will be in on thursday evening/night. I personally will be arriving around 10pm. My question to everyone is: do you want to meet thursday night, or friday morning to organize & get buttons/cookies? We also need a saturday morning meeting, and a sunday afternoon meeting. What time and what location do all of you think would be good?

Also, its not cookies, but here's a pic of the cake I made for my daughter's 3rd birthday as inspiration

Thursday night is probably better for me, since I don't really have anything going on that night, and Friday morning I'm going to be high-tailing it over to BYOC. Friday morning would be fine, though, if that's better for most people.

I think I am going to have to bow out of this

The closer PAX becomes, the more hectic my interview schedule is becoming.

However, if at all possible, I would like to interview a few people who are participating.
