Thanks. I should look through my stuff and see what I am missing. I lost some the last few years at the parks so I probably need some recent ones.

Remember the 2003 Wc Vulc I lost at Harriet??? I was sooo bummed and it was still missing outta my collection until I went through the Ebay lot this morning! I am thrilled to have it back!

Otis, your second in line behind Ian for the beer cans. We will have to wait for him to respond first but if he doesn't need them they are yours.

Thanks LAM! We will have to set up a button swap table... I'll bring tablecloths to decorate...OH and maybe my boy ESD (the BIG graduate) will make a sign?

I'll haveta bring some money... And my buttons, and my list, oh and OTS was buyin some of mine, so that'll get me some money...

Yes, Scribs, someone got lucky and got a good button. I am wondering if it ever showed up on ebay.

Wed, 01/19/2005 - 11:20 AM Permalink

LOL! I may have just bought it back!

There is a full 1980 winter carnival beer can on ebay right now for $5.99 (buy it now price).

Wed, 01/19/2005 - 1:00 PM Permalink

I'd give someone 5.99 if they drank it ;)

King Boreas aka Ian

I feel special ...

Here I am, checking oscure New Brighton and Moundsview parks, getting my haircut and beard trimmed for the big to-do, and everybody's trying to contact me.

Yes, there was past communication concerning beer cans, and I graciously accept them. Thanks

King Boreas aka Ian

I wasn't sure what I had available, but I offered them to Kitch and Otis (sorry, scribe's fault). If there's any left after those two (I highly doubt it, but then we haven't negotiated yet !) they'll be available.

I'm not positive, but I think MOM has past years still. Maybe she'll check in.

hmmm....

I gotta start lookin' for those cookie tins around here someplace....

I got a couple of those to bring. Yeah I'm doubting Ian will have any left after Kitch and OTS (shoot I think OTS is looking for 2 sets of everything).

But anyone that has any of the old cooler crew buttons I'd be interested in aquiring a set of em, or whatever I can manage to get anyway.

I have 1973, and a couple Vulcan buttons. I'll bring some "other" memorabilia that you'll find interesting.

I'm especially fond of Christmas-themed tins, at least until I get a dozenof them. Thanks to Get Sauced VI, and s4xton, I have a new series of caches for the end of the year.

Gotta get my box of buttons together for Saturday.. I have an extra cooler crew button from the site if anyone is interested.

first off, welcome to the board, second off I just did that today too, I'm just a huge procrastinator I didn't have any good reason to wait this long. it beats a few years ago when I dropped the registration cards off at the post office right before the PDG the day it had to be post marked by.

Well if stuff is already claimed thats fine. I'll get what I can and hash the rest out on ebay this summer.

scribe- If it is possible can I put dibbs on the 1985? I am eventually going to start a collection, but for now would like to start out with my birth year. I can pay you with a hug, or even money, whichever.

I figured it'd be first come first serve. And since I'm due to be a little late to the PDG, I'd be lookin for table scraps if I was lucky :)
