Hi folks, Q again.
I predicted that this would likely be the PAX that ended my 100% completionist mentality. Oddly enough, I had all the pins collected by Friday except Kris Straub's, Portal, and Behemoth because I was waiting to trade for them (I got impatient and just bought them sadly).
So I did it! I stayed at 100%...until the airline lost my luggage. So now the only pins I have left are the ones under glass. Lost all my convention swag too
I filed a claim with the airline(Alaska), but since it was a non-stop flight, I think it's more likely it got stolen. All my pins, all my pokemon, all my PAX Prime swag, the comics and playmats I got signed, my travel stool...all of it.
I just hope they enjoy my dirty under clothes.

So I was whining in chat about my lost luggage. @merchmistress said that she would stop into SEATAC and check to see if my luggage was there. The gesture alone was kind, and I'd be a fool to turn it down, even if I considered it a lost cause. I called Alaska airlines and they basically told me "we don't know anything". I had resigned myself to the loss and started calculating how much it was going to cost to restock my collection via ebay.
I get a phone call maybe half an hour later from a number I don't recognize, normally I don't answer, but today I figured it could be important.
"John?"
"Yes? Hello?"
"Hey, this is __"
"<silence from me>"
"Hello?"
"Hi...what's up?"
"Hey, they have your bag here, I found it."
I feel this best sums up that thirty second conversation
I cant express my thanks and gratitude at this point in time. The words will come to me eventually, but right now it's just too much, I can't even.

Although I half-expected having to show TSA my collection, I followed a tip when this was discussed at PAX: I got the bag-scan person's attention and pointed to my duffel bag, saying "Collectible pins". The bag went through without a hitch.
See you all at PAX.

Right? Thank you for shopping at Target, can we go pick up your drycleaning for you? I see you purchased something from Amazon today, do you want us to babysit your dog while you're out of town? Seriously, who does these things for complete strangers? Oh...right...super awesome people!

Serious merch idea: Durable luggage tags that identify you to fellow nerds, so you can share a cab from the airport.

Hah, I just ordered this one on ebay because I'm a huge nerd.
Ordered my brother a Chicago Bulls one, because he's not.

I'm sure you could just wear an Oculus Rift for the duration of the flight right? Just pretend you are on a really long roller coaster.
Only a mere 136 pins to go!
