    I'm not. I'm mean. I beat puppies ... with kittens. And, I hate babies.

    Also I have a bunch of Layton buttons left so if you wanted one but don't have anything to trade come find me I'll make you bark like a chicken or something to get one. Or just give you one.

    I'm in BYOC for at least the next 15 minutes.

    Also: I heard a nasty rumor RedHalo was out of player pins. Sad day for Holliday. I never did find him.

    The Button Case (Aka the super-secret project) is on display at the PC area. It's kind of tucked off into the corner, but it's there.

    I'm very annoyed that my buttons never made it to CaptainTapole. My button was supposed to be part of the secret gift too! I sincerely hope they release a DVD for PAX 08 very soon so I can at least see what I could have been a part of.

    Fuck yeah guys!

    Don't forget, many of us will be in the Sheraton Lobby after PAX, I still have buttons to trade (no TWEWY). We may move our group somewhere offside when everyone gets there though. Let me know if anyone is up for some drinking later.

    Nooo! I can't make it back down to the Sheraton. I might make it over to Belltown Billiards tonight (after a long nap!), or if you reeally want one of my Shadow of the Colossus buttons, just PM me and I can send you one.

    I'm sorry I'll be missing out on this! :(

    I was sad that I hopped on this thread too late to have them ready for PAX. And then the final round of the Omegathon had to go and be Vs. Excitebike which would have made my avatar pins absolutely perfect. :cry:

    Damn, I had like 6 more buttons to trade and I couldn't find them this morning... grrr

    Well, all and all I thought it was an epic button trading year. Probably what we need to look for is better methods of holding buttons, and those damn mootchers! (Seriously, I asked someone if they had buttons and they said yes. I handed mine and the fucker went out the door before I could do anything... gah). The vendor buttons kinda made things difficult..

    after the Q&A presentation, I am expecting a huge button turnout next year. I felt like one of the cool kids this go-round. I might design a shirt for us PAX '08 buttoneers if anyone is interested.

    It was super awesome meeting you folk! I might catch some of you at the Billiards place tonight. This event made an already fantastic event extra special.

    That was hilarious! That guy was yelling at us again when we went outside too, getting all butt-hurt that we were blocking the side-walk. The group picture was awesome though, I can't wait to see it posted...
    I'll be posting my pics soon, whenever I get everything uploaded.

    The group picture is of embarrassingly bad quality to me. I was trying to take it to fast, and still had my high ISO settings from inside. Didn't get the focus right, so everyone is a bit fuzzy unfortunately.

    Uploading to Flickr now for ease of access. Really sorry about the quality.

    EDIT: There's a few shots up, pick your favorite.

    Don't beat yourself up over it, it's still a cool picture.

    And this is my collection, had about 3 left over. And I'm sure a few of the smaller ones are not part of this, but I put them there anyway. :P

    Oh, and I have to post this next picture for VT. It really sucks my group and I had to head home tonight (even though I'm only 30 mins away) otherwise I would have hung out longer.
    IMG_1782.jpg
    I'm on the left (why my mouth is open i have no idea, was laughing at something) then VT, and Nihilist is on the right (part of my group). And that woman (sorry, no idea who she was) just kinda came up and starting talking to us, she was really cool though.

    I haven't counted yet, but since I didn't order too many buttons I think I did well for what I had. It was rather fun. It probably will be more popular next year which will be neat, but I do hope it doesn't get too crazy. I do know I have at least 3 friends who want to do the button trade next year.

    I ended up with 70+, some of them were not in the actual exchange as well.

    Here is a photo.
    I would have more but I ended up giving many to buttoneers that were already out of their own.

    Well that was really fun! Unfortunately I didn't advertise that I was in the exchange very well. I did more hunting than being hunted. Still, out of my 100 buttons I traded 80 of them away, around 10 of them I didn't get buttons in return cause many people ran out. But I also got a lot of buttons not in the exchange, so it evened out. Wish I didn't have to leave early Sunday so I could've seen the case and gone to the final exchange, but maybe next year.

    Does anyone have any pictures/video of the case being presented?
