    Hello fellow buttoneers.

    I really don't frequent these forums, however, I do know of the awesomeness that is the PAX Buttoneers.

    Just posting to share that I will be participating in this event, but in lieu of Geek Nights, a podcast duo that will also be hosting 3 panels at PAX.

    Here is their schedule:
    Friday, 11:30am – 12:30pm, Raven Theatre - Beyond Candyland

    Saturday, 10:30am - 11:30am, Wolfman Theatre - Losing Should be Fun

    Sunday, 10:00am - 11:00am, Raven Theatre - Beyond D&D

    There were at PAX last year and ran the panel Beyond D&D.

    So if you attend any of these panels, I or someone else should be there to give out/trade buttons. I look forward to meeting any of you and giving you buttons! Of if you see me around the convention, I'll be carrying the buttons in a Super Paper Mario handbag.

    Cheers
    ~Ro

    BTW, here is the button design:

    That was close!

    I got my buttons in this morning.

    I only have 100 but that's because this was a test run for possible future batches.


    These are actually to promote my clothing brand that should launch within a few weeks.
    It's called Penguin Air Force and this is our main logo at the moment. It's black/white/gray and sports our little penguin wearing his trademark goggles and scarf.

    Hope to give it out to some PAXers this weekend and I'll definitely be shameless self-promoting myself once the brand officially launches very soon :)

    So here's your chance to have the very first Penguin Air Force buttons ever created. :) Eeeee, now I'm excited.

    I've also printed out 100 unique minicards in the event I run out of buttons on a given day.

    And they've arrived! My wonderful wife is crafting a digital camoflage scarf (replete with button trim) upon which they rest. This year they shall have pins, and be regarded as actual items capable of display.

    So my buttons didn't make it in time. I'm really really disappointed. I ordered with plenty of time to spare with their 7-10 day turnaround, but they just didn't make it. What really irks me is that a friend who ordered 2 days before me got his 4 days ago. :( I'm hoping they show up sometime during PAX since I live in the area and will hopefully find them waiting for me when I stumble home at 3am. This just totally stinks... hope I'll be able to meet lots of you anyway even though I won't have anything to trade!

    I still got tons! I'll be walking around asking everyone with more than a certain number of buttons if they are Buttoneers.

    Maybe next year we could have a "Yes, I'm a buttonneer" button to recognize each other by?

    Or is accosting random people and having them look at you funny part of the joy of the game?

    Anyways, if anyone cares, these are mine:

    I had crazy amounts of fun today, and I still have heaps of buttons to give away! I'm staying for the whole weekend, though.

    Very few people are interested in playing pokemon for my bonus buttons :( I thought the whole point of the bonus buttons was to have a challenge, not just trade them away like the avatar ones. I only awarded 3 bonus buttons today :(:(

    And if anyone else is interested I've changed the format of the poke battles. Seems people don't have time for drawn out battles, and wireless is horribly crowded so instead I'm using the Union room which means you get 2 pokemon of lvl 30 or lower with which to battle me. It's quick and entertaining, I promise!

    I'm not wearing my Nurse Joy costume all day, but I will have my pokeball purse with me at all times so hopefully I'll still be relatively easy to spot. And I can always be stalked/followed on twitter where we can make a plan for a battle if you'd like.


    Pleeasseeee...? I'd really like to use atleast half of my 48 button order.

    well I think the real point of the bonus buttons is to first of all purchase very few of them so they're limited then you can challenge people and still not have any bonuses left over...
    Doesn't help that the minimum order is 50.

    Anywayyyy, where are the rest of you 140 something buttoneers hiding???
    I've still got lots of buttons!

    Are there any meetups scheduled for tomorrow??

    yeah i really don't like any bonus button with a requirement that takes over 20 seconds.

    and dammit that trifecta button that you have to get in order and hey look all three people are next to each other but guy 2 doesn't have his buttons on him so whatever screw it :D

    fuck bonus button requirements :D this is all my opinion because I'm lazy.

    Well if all goes well, everyone will be there so you can trade with everyone!
    I will be there for sure...

    Alright so I think we need some button meetup information.
    Are there any button meetups before Sunday?? If so, where and when?

    If not, when and where is the Sunday meetup?

    Until then, hope to keep adding to my collection!
