Buttoneering! - IT IS TIME

Sleepy Kitty

Once again just wanted to say thanks to everyone that made an appearance this morning for button trading , great to see some old faces again and new ones as well. Hope to see everyone Sunday after the convention for the final button trading experience of Pax Prime 2013

Covet

Reminder that there is ONE more meetup in front of the Convention Center (on the steps) AFTER the final round of the Omegathon.

I didn't even think to check here for meet ups... I've just been keeping an eye open for people sporting buttons. Meet ups sound so much easier

Final Salute to everyone all weekend long for trading pins, I think we got most of the buttons listed on the site, will know for sure once we get home and I have the change to place them all on draklan's vest , will post a picture when it's done.

Had fun trading

Infidel

Great time as always.

I just noticed your sig hippo, great job Brigade!

Enigmas

I didn't get a bloatedhippo button, and I was looking for you.
There were a lot of buttons I missed... Remote trading perhaps?

Arikado

I got extras of the 8-bit Walking Dead and Game of Thrones buttons if people are desparate to complete their collections.

alegria

There are lots of buttons not on the site - I have about 30-40 that aren't listed. Please list your design, and relist as Prime 2013 if you reused a button! I want to check them off!!

And despite all the buttons I got, I missed quite a few. Sad. Had lots of fun though and I'll see y'all next year!!

lelula

I sadly underestimated the buttoneering. Ended up with 55 from other buttoneers. I'll be bringing a lot more next year!

Also noticed most of the booths just had buttons for swag... got loaded down with game buttons...

skylatron

I think I only traded about 70 with other buttoneers. People were much harder to spot this year! Ah well, I still have about 20 Got Lag buttons so if anyone needs it to complete their set, let me know.

jonxp

As usual, you guys were all awesome. I have more buttons than I can fit on my bag! I enjoyed meeting everyone, and I apologize to the folks who I couldn't talk to for long. Enforcing keeps you busy!

Like every year, I'm asking for input on everything we did... The meetups, button radar, the site, the apps, how we make them, anything. Also, post your collections!

I had an absolute blast! This being my first PAX and first con period, I had a bit of difficulty finding Buttoneers without being at the designated meetups. I did attend the final meetup, and had so much fun. Definitely looking forward to it next year!!

Komi

Awesome time this year. I actually spent some time sitting down on level 6 near the expo hall entrance and found a fair few buttoneers that way. I traded far more during the con this year than I did last year, and it was really awesome. I sadly still have a good 50ish of both my buttons left since the only meetup I made was after the omegathon, but hey, whatever. Only meetup I made was the final meetup because I ended up sick on Sunday and woke up late Saturday.

My favorite trade was definitely getting yelled "DON'T GET ON THAT ESCALATOR!" as I was leaving BYOC from someone trading. That was pretty awesome.

I loved #buttonradar, and wished more people used it. I might suggest it not strip out photos though. It would have been helpful to post a picture of either the button being offered, or a pic of our exact location. Covet and I camped out in a few places that would have been easier to find with a photo.

Arikado

Def need more peeps using the radar.

courtneyj

I appreciated the call out of the other pin upstart during the presentation of the buttons to Mike & Jerry.

PikaPuff

Erg, the last time I thought about ButtonRadar was in BYOC line the morning before PAX started, and didn't think about it again until reading this post here from jonxp asking how buttonradar went... sorry.

Once again, looks like 150 is the magic number of buttons for me to buy. I got 200 this year thinking how quickly pax sold out, but still went home with a bag stuffed with like, 50 owls.

All hooting.

Had a fantastic time! Everyone's buttons turned out fantastic and I loved hearing"ooo thats a button I really wanted" from people.

JenniLyne

I missed so many buttons!

Yeah, I don't know what I do really, but every year a few people jump me exclaming how much they wanted my button. I do love making people happy or making their day, so it's a win-win for everyone.

skarsol

I saw so few people this year and had to leave before the final meetup got going, so this years FF button is gonna be super rare. :P

draklan

so final version of my Buttoneering Vest.

Thanks to everyone who traded buttons with me making it look so awesome. Can't wait for next year

etherealvision

Enforcing wiped me out so I slept through the mornign meetups and my ride had to leave so I had to bail at the end for the first time ever >.< I got quite a few buttons but I have tons left!

etherealvision

I'm down for the mailing thing this year. I have TONS of extra's. Flutteryay is low, it was popular to the point that Bronies would come to me and ask either where I got them or if they could have one. I had trouble not handing them out >.< but I have some left! Pikapuf I'm looking at you and holding up my button <.<

Covet

I'm happy to coordinate the mail order buttoneering again this year if no one else wants to do it. I'll make the post on the weekend so I enough time to get over the PAX pox.

Enigmas

Oh, I so want Flutteryay. That was one I was looking for all weekend and I'm sad I didn't find you.

Covet, I swear on all my buttons, this year I will actually send you my buttons for remote trading.

Knight_

I have about 15 Kerbal Space Administration buttons left. A few Rainbow Dash "bonus" (aka east leftovers) as well, so i'd be up for some remote trading.

dougyfresh

I feel bad for missing all the meetups. I probably have over 100 pins I didn't get to trade, was just way too busy!

Mighty

I think I ended up with something like 45 buttons left over. Guess ill have some bonuses for next year.

Now, what to make my design...

zeromyst

It was nice meeting everyone at the Saturday and Sunday meetups! I have about ~10 fireflies buttons and ~25 Isaac Clarke bonus buttons left over.

Hope to see all of you again at East '14!

I hope I didn't offend Mike too much.

Here's the presentation: http://www.twitch.tv/pax/c/2860125?t=6m40s. I like the trick I'm doing where my lips don't match my voice.

EDIT: Switched to the direct timecode link

Thanks for all that made this an amazing experience. My girlfriend was quite surprised and rolled her eyes when she saw my sign signed by all those that were kind enough to do so
Front of sign if any missed it

Had a great time of it, as always; I'll tally up my spares for some mail-order Buttoneering for anyone who missed out.

If we're doing that thing where we send our spares to one person and they sort out tossing them to people who don't have them, I'm -totally- down to do that. I still have 50 - 60 of both of my buttons.

SpaceGhost2K

I had the Skyrim shield buttons. The blue bear (Windhelm) only has two left. I have 6-7 of the brown wolf (Solitude) and a dozen of the yellow ram (Whiterun). I would be happy to mail them all to someone coordinating a mail trade.

I have 80+ buttons on my "uncollected" list, and a few of them I'm really surprised I didn't get them.

The good news is that I traded 144 buttons at PAX this year. Add in all the buttons from the booths and I easily got over 300 buttons.

Is anyone at all trading the "Pinny Arcade" buttons, or is that bad form? I got a few from the Magic The Gathering booth if anyone wants to trade, and I'm missing a couple from behemoth that I'd like if anyone got duplicates.

Speaking of duplicates, I did get doubles of some of the regular buttoneering buttons, so if the mail thing is "go", I will send my dupes there as well.

SpaceGhost2K

ps I really, really want one of the Harley Quinn buttons (not the one with Spidey - I got that one )
