    Sweet! so, I'm only going to have about 70 (or so buttons). So since I missed the "primary check list" thing, am I just some dude that has some buttons that would like to trade with people? Or is there something I can do at this point to make it so people will crave said buttons?

    Yeah, I believe there are quite a few people who are just "dudes with buttons" and who aren't going to be on the official printed list.

    That definitely makes it more fun (for me) =D.

    Buttons are here. Shazam.

    Chainsaw McNuggets Commemorative Pin, 2.25"
    Ordered 100, got 105 and a blank

    Gravy Robber Pin, 1.5"
    Ordered 50, got 63
    gravyku9.png

    Hard to tell from the pictures, but the detail is just incredible. Both drawings had very small details that came through great on the pins.

    Edit: Also, ordered on August 3rd, status changed to "Shipped" this morning, got them in the mail at noon.

    I might pin them to my City of Villains cape, though it's probably too light for it. The backpack should work for me.

    It's a semi-inside joke. A bunch of us (including myself) in the IRC channel didn't realize what they were until he told us. =)

    Its actually them who got one less, (probably broke) not you that got one more. They print on 4 x 4 sheets, meaning 16 per page, and 4 pages gives you 64.

    All of your buttons look great! They make me wish I used spanky ham on my buttons but I was worried about using other people's property. Next year I'm sitting down with photoshop and coming up with something awesome! For now, please accept my normal but meaty buttons for yours.

    This is brilliant! If the buttoneering gets too big to be reasonable ("We recommend a hundred thousand buttons, and a bag the size of the moon to put them on") using custom stamps and the program would be great.

    Are you kidding? You are the motherfucking Porkfry! You are just as "hip" as Mike and Jerry in my book.

    And besides, if someone refuses to trade with you just pull out your knife and make those cock milkers trade
    with you!

    Yeah. What does Pork do during PAX? Is he responsible for anything? Does he work for Penny Arcade Inc? I don't think he does.

    EDIT:
    Question answered before I could ask it.

    Well, no worries. People generally find people to trade with. Just wear your button to identify yourself as a trader and we will find you.

    I plan on wearing my messanger bag covered in buttons all weekend long. Also, if you see a 6'1" guy cosplaying as Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness Tycho or wearing a full brown 3-piece pinstripe suit, that would be me. Totally wanting some button trade with ya.

    They're a bit smaller than most are getting (1", instead of 1.5"), but hey, now they can rest perfectly on a beer bottle! It's like my own personalized beer guardian. Ordered 100 of them, only received 99, but being a chemistry student, I'm happy with +/- 1%.
