A HUGE Thanks and shout out to everyone who made the Cookie Brigade such an incredible success this year. With the help of the attendees, the army of bakers, and the distributors who got out there and hoofed it for three days, the Brigade collected an unbelievable $14,276 for Child's Play this year!!! It's a new record for the Brigade.
A special shout out to the volunteers who gave up their entire PAX for all three days to make this happen.
You guys are just amazing [tiny tear].
Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

In that checkered square pattern from the game. inorite?
Ok... I totally missed out. I need to bring extra cash and hunt down the brigade members next year.
Check out Colorado Movie Cars! It's amazing!
Does that sound like too much of an excuse for me to be a fatass stuffing his face with cookies?
I'm telling you, Cookie Brigade Bingo would be a huge hit.
Love Pokemon? Going to PAX Prime/East/Aus/South? Challenge the PAX Pokemon League!!!
The themed ones went pretty fast, at least they did for us. Sorry you didn't get to try any :-(

And the themed ones were interesting. I think i had one that was fritos, chocolate, and jalapeño peppers. It was pretty tasty

Agree, the brigade gives up enough work and effort. A list on the forums would have been sufficient for someone to create an epic Cookie Brigade Bingo Board
The bingo idea is great!! Some of the brigadiers have been talking about a Cookie Brigade game or puzzle for future PAX(es) and that would be sweet! (No really, they're cookies. It'd be sweet. Get it?). Maybe if the categories were a little more generic, like game themed instead of Portal-O's, it would be more manageable to play.
As an aside, we had a TREMENDOUSLY fun time making all the 'wrong' krispies. There were only about 6 of each flavor - be glad you missed the ones that didn't pass taste testing as there were some real stinkbombs. That frito-chocolate-jalapeno surprised all of us with it's junk foodey goodness, as did the cinnamon-bacon-smoked almond-toffee.
Whoever made that needs to open up a bakery and deliver. To me. Daily.
Just wanted to send out a big e-hug to you guys! Your selflessness, perseverance and success is inspiring. Good work!

No, don't be sorry, they were great!! Jaz and I have NO SHAME in separating attendees from their money in the name of Child's Play. For any super rare, very cool cookies, I'd hawk them as 'special limited edition' cookies that you could only get for a minimum donation of [mumble]. So it all worked out!
But they were DEFINITELY popular and went like... BAM! Gone! I'm guessing that Gallifrey-themed treats are a sure thing for future PAXes...
It is nice having brigade folks coming through the tabletop freeplay, fueling us through longer games.
All of the "gourmet" rice krispy treats were AMAZING. Made enforcing BYOC an extremely tasty adventure.

I've got to check with Eep, and see if she's going to have time this year: I know last year she was swamped. =( LexiconGrrl also really wants to do something like this if I recall correctly, so perhaps if Eep doesn't have time Lexi can jump in on it.
Actually, there was an effort started for that a while back. The idea had occurred to revisit it, but it will probably be a little while before we can get that ball rolling. In the meantime, I'll be posting the recipes for the cookies that my team and I baked to an outside site shortly, so that they're available to anyone.
I'm also collecting recipes from other brigadiers to include so if you had a Cookie of Purest Awesome that you'd like included, shoot me a PM!

Well, definitely get a donation link for that website then.
Definitely include a photo of the Metroid cookie cutter that you got too. So cool.
Good Call, Mr. Buick Deriver.
I know they sound weird people, but try a maple bar with bacon on it and it is not too much of a leap to these cookies.

I gave one of them to an enforcer in line for the Saturday night concert, he didn't look to sure about it but seemed to enjoy it and shared with another enforcer. The last of my stash went pretty fast after that! I kind of regret not trying one now!
