I'm already registered on the site, and posted there. I'm back to distribute again this year.

@rascal and @woolykitten please PM me your email addresses and I will send you the brigade email with all of the information you'll need.

If you did not do the survey and have no received the PAX East email please PM me so I can send you a copy. It has a lot of incredibly important information all in one place.

I've got 6 dozen chocolate chip chunk, 2 dozen oatmeal raisin, and a dozen italian lace cookies(although they might not make it because they're crumbling... I started with 2 dozen)

Fantastic looking cookies! I'm bringing a couple of my children today, and I know they will be eager to donate money to Child's Play and get a closer look at those AVengers and Creepers.

Cookies droped off

Lady Lillybel, those are SOO COOL!

I didn't see any Cookie Brigadiers today until 11:15pm when I asked in BYOC if I could get some cookies. You guys could seriously make a killing if you swung by the D&D/Tabletop area now and then - a lot of the D&D events/games take 2-3 hours or more, and our table of 7 people would have bought dozens of cookies (Sorry if I annoyed anyone with my repeated tweets pleading for cookies. We were hungry).

ishtra

I noticed that too while walking around.
I'm in costume and distributing - but don't have twitter access atm, will try to swing by for coverage

Apologies, we've been a bit short on distributors, and Internet was not so great. We'll try to keep that area covered today!

Attention anyone who's interested

I headed over there but didn't know where you guys were, so hit up the D&D line instead. Also, keep tweeting! If the intertoobs are slow, we'll have a better chance of getting your message if it doesn't come through right away.

Thank you everyone for being awesome, welcoming and incredibly generous!

Thank you to our incredible distributors and bakers this year for making that amazing number possible.

And and thanks to the enforcers, for always being ready to help us out, you guys make this possible and the brigadiers are immensely thankful to have you guys behind us with either a loud voice to announce our presence or your willingness to stop and help a brigadier when we need assistance.

d0ughb0y

That is SO awesome. I'm proud of you guys!

Ethrinil

Congrats on the awesome work. You guys deserve so much more recognition! Thanks again, to everyone for all your hard work.

TheAggroCraig

Congrats on the total!

Also, whoever made the Oreos baked inside of the chocolate chip cookies... I love you, the one I got was damn delicious.

ErickaJo

I had a great time distributing. PAX people are the best people.

Also, my husband got a hold of one of those combustable lemons. Those were fantastic!

Malkara

Next time, bring more cookies on the pokecrawl. I didn't buy nearly enough.

Gotta make sure we get the banner updated, $57,900 is the total now!

MrGone1980

Thanks to the cookie brigaders and your selfless barrage of empty calories.

I want to make special mention to whoever made the brownie-filled chocolate chip cookies, they're one of the best cookies I've had in ages and are an inspired idea on the level of partitioned bread and the spork. I've told EVERYONE I know about them...might want to copyright that shit.

EDIT: I was the weird dude in the blazer who donated for the rest that you had. I don't think you could've brought enough of those.

KellyShepard087

That's awesome!!!!!!

hey, who was the guy with the Bacon Chocolate Cookies?!
Oh gods! Those were amazing, I was taking little bites of them all day trying to make it last. So good!

Yup! I'll update it tomorrow.

aerynkelly

That is such an incredible number! Much to all involved in the Cookie Brigade!

VThornheart

I wanted to give a big shout-out and thanks to everyone who supported the Cookie Brigade and Child's Play by donating this year: you guys are amazing, we love you!

Also, a big thanks to the Bakers and Distributors without whom there wouldn't be secret cookie eating at PAX! I hope to see you all again at PAX Prime (or East, if you can't make it to Prime! )

ishtra

Had such a great time as a distributor. Maybe next year I'll have a not-dumb-phone so I can follow tweets ... but either way - I'm in again next year

Luptonium

Whoever did the chocolate chip cookies with the oreos in the middle.... That was one of the most awesome cookies I have ever eaten.

VThornheart

Yay! I'm really glad you had a good time Ishtra, it was great having you distribute with us!

And indeed Luptonium, those were made by none other than Punzie - the same gal who runs the MMT, and will be leading logistics for the Cookie Brigade at the next PAX East!

ishtra

@VThornheart - expect to see me in some liaison stuff. I'm planning to be in costume again but want to be more in the loop for next year You guys kicked Massive booty, so I have a score to beat!

sillyzombie666

did any one get my ginger snaps 3 to a bag, i would love to hear if they were ok

maryboo247

To whoever made the gluten-free peanut butter cookies, those were amazing!

Callionymidae

You guys were lifesavers this year, always magically appearing while I was starving waiting in line! Also, the katamari balls? Little balls of cookie heaven, I am going to buy at least one billion of them next year. Thank you so much!

MASeffect

Such a fun experience. I'm sad now that now I can't run up to a crowd of people with cookies and get the same response I did a couple days ago.... Ah well- always next PAX
You guys rock!

xenard

Just wanted to give a huge thanks to the Cookie Brigade. Not only for helping a great cause but for stopping my hunger pains. The snickerdoodles were amazing!!

Zelkova

Although I was not officially a distributor, I did help @MASeffect out with handing out cookies. It was an absolute blast! It's so great to see so many people eager to donate to Child's Play. Definitely going to sign up to be a distributor next PAX. Thanks for the chance to get to help. It was fun!

Lady Lilybell

We had a blast baking and distributing! There are a lot of kind souls attending PAX this year. This gentleman happened to be standing behind us for a panel we barely got to in time. It was a short conversation but he loved what we do. I gave him one of the Cookie cards. digitalnoob.com/events/love-cookies-pax/


Here's my nice after con story: Sunday after the con finished, we headed to South Station for a quick eat before our commuter train boarded. We passed this table of 7ish kids ages 3-9 with their moms/aunts. One woman said, "Oh look, an Easter Bunny." I had some candy and cookies I was taking home to my brother in my basket still. I asked permission to leave some goodies for the kids. I pulled out a handful, left them on the table and wished everyone a Happy Easter.
