    What's the general opinion on wearing duplicates from last year? I figure wearing the previous years' forum button would be pretty cool. Like how ElectricTurtle has all of his previous PAX badges. There were some really cool designs last year that I'd love to wear again, but I don't know if it would confuse the new kids on where to get them or over inflate how many I'd get this year (as if it will need over inflation, ha!)

    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.

    We're not there to show off our button e-peens (i guess its more like an IRL-peen) redhalo! Besides you know you'll get questions "oh who gave you that button?" and that will confuse the hell out of people. You're welcome to wear mine though.8-)

    I'm probably bringing my GTAIV CE duffel bag again. Unless I can find a way to attach them to my wheelchair or something. I think I tried attaching them to my wheel spokes last year and that didn't really work.

    I just had a terible mental image of us showing off our "IRL-peen". I got what your saying though, just some are too cool, like the Gabe and Tycho shirt ones. Non-buttoneers can really appreciate those.

    Too many people will feel differently, I'd say leave it up to the individual. I have a square button last year, and that's cool, but I don't think we can't just say no square buttons unless you fit a certain prerequisite. As long as everyone is individually buying the buttons that they want we really can't regulate it. That and some can only afford the smaller ones.

    Well, I'm going to do it. My personal buttons are 1.5" the CCST buttons are 1" and my bonus buttons will be 1.25"

    Speaking of bonus buttons, I've designed a set of Bizarro Sealab buttons, but I don't know if I want to distribute all of them myself. If other people are interested, we can each get one Bizarro button type and people can try and collect the whole set by finding all of us. Any takers (randomguy, I'm looking at you).

    Thought you guys would want to see this. It's Purebuttons' response to my emails letting them know we've started planning. Sorry RedHalo if I'm stepping on your toes at all.
    [Thanda],

    Lets get the promo code up on the site!! Go ahead and use: PUREPAX09 and save 15% on every order. I can also make sure the buttons have a 7 day or less turnaround time (not including shipping though)

    Let me know when you get a chance to get that up and running.
    Have a great day!

    We should talk to them about purchasing a button trading button to be thrown into the orders that use the code.

    Okay, heres the button.

    The background is Space. My Shark is in space with a clear bubble space helmet and lazers are firing out of the gun and shoot in the Robot Devil from futurama. At the sharks side is the chick with three boobs from Total Recall. And wrapping around the border are the words "The_Reflection for President of Space.

    Maybe Emperor or Conqueror, but that can be thought about.

    I'll probably use mine from last year, as I barely traded any and have a ton left. I'll get a small amount of new ones made as well, in case I run into anyone who I DID trade with last year so they can get something different.

    Emorimiku, I encourage you to make the kirby zoidberg buttons again, at least as a bonus button. I know you lost them last year (d'oh =( ), so I bet people will be itching to get them this year!
    If enough people want me to make another order of them for that I'd be willing to since I because of the specific circumstances I don't think that they would really count as repeat buttons.
