@teknotronic Right after the panel I am going to try to get in line for the main theater. You will be able to find me there. Or come to the front of the line right now. It's 3:30 right now.
Just want to thank SkeleVader again for putting this all together, as well as all those will call volunteers! I know it was a ton of work for you guys but it's really appreciated, the results are wonderful! : D

I'll be at the Post pax party tonight. Last chance to get your coin.
If you didnt pick up your coin this weekend you will need to send $6 for shipping.

Anyone who needs to send money for shipping, send $6 to my PayPal account matthewryanallen@hotmail.com

I would also like to thank SkeleVader for setting this up. The coin is an amazing piece of work. The pictures in the thread do not do it justice.
I would also like to thank all the will-call agents (the crow flys by rainbow) for putting up with us badgering them at times to get the coins. These things are a lot heavier that I thought they would be, and knowing that people like Jenny_Spaghetti carted a heavy box of the things around where ever they went makes them even more awesome than before.
yup thanks to skelevader for doing all the setting up and stuff - and to everyone who carried them around especially punzie who had my 5 - best con visiting presents for others ever - meant I didn't need to worry about finding things for others who couldn't make it all weekend

I had a lot of fun organizing this and I think it turned out well. The Will Call distribution needs some tweaking I think, but I hope to organize it again next year.

Just wanted to stop in and say that I LOVE my coin. It's gorgeous, and weighty with destiny. Huge thanks and applause for @SkeleVader for making them and organizing the whole thing!
Did anyone give out any coins to the PA folks or anyone else?
I was given one of these by an Enforcer who worked under me in Tabletop. It is an amazing piece of work, and I am proud to own it. I know he gave one to The Tabletop Manager and one to Robert Khoo also.
I gave almost all of my coins away to various folks. They made wonderful gifts and raised delight in the eyes of everybody who beheld them. Khoo really dug his coin, (I wasn't the one to give it to him, I just happened to over-hear him talk about it later) and the most often heard comment I got from people who picked up their coins was "Wow, these are WAY bigger and nicer than I expected!"
First time back to the forums in quite some time and I'm so happy to see the coin is still going strong! Thank you everyone for their work and I can't wait to see East's coin!
This was my first PAX event, and the week that I took off work to explore Seattle and have a great time with my friends during the event was easily the best week of my life. With that being said, I didn't know about the Challenge Coins until just a few days ago when I started browsing these forums to help stave off Post-PAX depression. All I can say is that I'm positively blown away by the fantastic sense of community and comradery that pervades this forum... I'm used to "official" forums being a bit of a pit, to be honest.
While I'm far too late to throw in for a coin this year, I just wanted to post and let you guys know this is one of the coolest projects I've seen come out of a convention community. The design is beautiful, it sounds like you guys handled distribution in fun ways; plus the fact that each year keeps the "Welcome Home" ring as a feature pleases the OCD designer in me who likes to see uniformity when something is part of a series. Drives me absolutely nuts when cover design for a book series or various digital media completely changes halfway through it's run and the spins no longer line up nicely.
Er... that turned into a bit of a tirade. My point is... I just wanted to let everyone involved in this know how much it's appreciated, even by people who weren't a part of it this year. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words vid.
To those few that never picked up your coin at Pax, I sent one last E-mail in hopes you will send me shipping so you can get your coin(s).
If by Oct 18th anyone has not paid for shipping I will release the extras back into the wild and see if anyone wants them. (No refunds).

Shoot, sorry I missed you. I thought I would find you at the Kerplunk Omegathon game but I didn't see you there either.

Seconding the thanks for all the teamwork to make the coin happen as well, they're a great memento of PAXes gone by.
A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
