    MaoChan just finished up my button design for me...I lack the skills to do this sort of thing on my own.

    How's this for a button?

    HA! That has to be one smelly hat by now. I bet it holds its own shape!





    Buttons = ordered, BTW.

    So I have some "bonus buttons" that I will be giving away. I have other stuff to give away as well that I am still deciding on how BUT this is about buttons.

    Thank you to @CaptainTapole for the idea. To get one of my bonus buttons (they were mailed to me this morning) you have to serenade me with a song from the year you were born. So start researching now!

    I'm joining in the buttoneering again this year and was wondering, have most people been getting their buttons within a couple weeks or so? I'm hoping to have a little time to come up with a design this year before it's too late.

    I'd say that you have plenty of time. It's probably safe to order until about the middle of next week, then it becomes a little more questionable with three weeks remaining.

    Yeah contact them ASAP. The website is all kinds of screwed up. I had to cancel one order, re-submit another, ask them to put the discount on one (but not that one, the other one!), but they're very prompt and nice about it.

    I've been following Purebuttons' twitter and they said their turnaround is down to 7 days (plus shipping of course), but they're working late to maintain that. For anybody who hasn't ordered buttons yet, I would recommend doing it ASAP. If you are outside of the United States, it is now strongly recommended you have your buttons sent to an American friend to make sure they arrive in time and do not get lost in customs.

    I need you to sing some of it as well. Humming alone is not a good serenade

    Well, the first 100 people to come up to me and say something to the effect of "hey, aren't you that Omeganaut guy?" will get a black and green limited issue 1.5" circular button with my name on it, the year, and a big Ω. Picts will be uploaded once I get them (should be late next week).

    Yes, but I wouldn't be a very good salesmen if I didn't put as many extraneous adjectives as possible in my pitch to make my buttons seem more exciting.

    You should post a picture of your button design so you can be added to the participants list on the OP

    Well, it's only going to be a few days before I have the real thing, then I can post a photo. Plus, this builds suspense, so when the design is finally revealed it's a major letdown.

    On the discount, they charged the full amount to my credit card, then refunded the discount. I had the code in there, then mentioned the code and how it did not appear to apply the discount in the special instructions section.

    Yes, there are issues with it. Just put it in. Click the button. Then add in the special instructions that you are trying to use the code and then hopefully they will take care of applying it. They have been charging the full amount and then refunding the difference.

    okay, like +10000 respect points for Pure buttons. After that whole coupon thing, my internet d/c'ed before I could pay and my order was lost but I still got a conformation e-mail. It was weird.

    I e-mailed their customer support and they got back to me in like 20 mins and got the whole thing sorted out very quickly and professionally.


    We made the right choice picking these guys.

    Yeah, definetly awesome. One guy contacted me about my design, said there was a bit of a flaw in it and asked if I wanted to fix it before he started making the prints. They say "all designs final!" on the website, but it was nice of him to take the time to let me know so I don't get something I didn't like.
