    I'll take one of the remaining Bizarro buttons. I was going to call Stormy, but dammit I'm too late! Perhaps Marco?

    As far as a design for mine, I may use one similar to what I did last year because I really like it, but I'll see what I can come up with. I may have a bonus one this year too. :D

    One other thing, if anybody still needs help, I will offer my services to do what I can, just PM me.

    Holy bah-juu-boo! I am gone for like 13 hours and there is a billion-and-a-half folks already in line for this.

    Redy!!! You should make some stipulations for repeated buttons.

    Say, if they do wanna have them as their avatar buttons and create a new-but-smaller-in-quantity set for the folks that did the button last year (someone totally mentioned this, but I cannot remember who) or have it as their bonus button (i.e. emorimiku's awesome zoidberg-kirby.)

    MeeOk: I would heart you forever if you do the Cheshire.

    Also, Redy....the LHH was the square button and all fill-in-blank's HH will always be square and a quantity of 14, that's what makes it uber-doober special.

    I'm probably going to wear my buttons on the maille lanyard I'm making... does that make it less creepy?

    I'll talk to Tony and Sake, I'd be down, would this be for personal buttons? Or bonus buttons?

    OH! And should the special circumstances be a bad horse of someone, either a secret snipe of us? Or we determine who they need to do it to?

    Hmm... last year I had the traditional blue Infinity Squared for my button... should I go with the easy option of the alternate red Infinity Squared or think of something different? I still have plenty of Phalla bonus buttons from last year, so I won't need to restock on those. Looks like we're off to a good start this year!

    Another discussion point, what is everyone using to attach buttons to this year? I saw many a sachels run out of space last year, and no one can dispute the stylishness of Cuzza's scarf. I think I'm going to try to make some kind of PAX dedicated kutte.

    *bows* The scarf has been retired to my living room wall with all fo the buttons attached (will take a pic of it this weekend), for this year I was joking at the end of last year I would have to go with a hotel bathrobe for 2009's buttons, but I might just go with some form of long robeish deal, just two long pieces of fabric that go over my shoulders and join together on my back. Will take the weight off my neck and onto my shoulders, thats what kinda hurt me last year.
    3) I have a few candidates in mind for the ______'s Heterosexual Harem. Nothing is final, yet.

    I hope one of those candidates in mind is Khoo. "Robert Khoo's Heterosexual Harem" has an awesome ring to it. Just have a picture of Khoo in a suit on it. Winner.

    50x bonus buttons for people who can somehow prove that they got my button last year (show me the button, remind me of the circumstances of our meeting, something like that).

    I have yours! It would be here on row 6, column 4 :D I have no idea how we met because most of these button trades were a complete blur and at times I didn't even see the person trading with me, all i saw was a hand with a button in it.

    Button designs are in the works. I think I may have MANY buttons this year. Last year I had about 170 and left with only 2 of each (one for me, one for the designer of them).

    I will think on all of them. ...All five of them...

    lol Wes any of those could work well, as long as you don't mind having the watermarks on them, because they each have one. I also gotta say that gray/blue you showed me last night looks better then that purple, the purple kinda stands out a lot IMO.

    but good work. :P
