Okay, I just left my room and the first person I talked to handed me a button maker. I now have the machine on my desk.
If that isn't a sign to make a button I don't know what is.
What do I do now?

I had reached out to Tropic Al a few weeks ago and asked him if he would help me put together a special button for us to commemorate the tailgate party. They arrived and they look great, unfortunately, I only have 100 of these buttons to give out.
I guess I just wanted to let you know that Al will be there not only in spirit but in button as well.

That's awesome. I was just sitting here thinking about Al and his buttons before I read this. Does anyone know if he ordered them or if he made them with a button machine? I was going to check for prices at a local store for a button machine. He was really proud of the "More Doyle" button. I think I want to make and wear a "More Al" button on my lanyard. I just need to figure out how to do it.
He and Gabby made them.
And the John Frinzi buttons and keychains and the John Patti buttons and Mark James! I have them all somewhere! The Frinzi keychain is on my keys!

I was thinking about all the lanyards he have that he made for us. He made the one with the VIP on the back and mine kept flipping over and I noticed security pointing at it and waiving me through. Made it to the 6th row that night...Just remember things, ya know...

Using your computer print out MORE AL!! in a bunch of type faces and sizes and see what works. Then start pressing.
500 should be enough.

I didn't have the "priviledge" of meeting Al (at least I don't think I did) but I would wear one of those buttons with pride!!

So, is "MORE AL!!" the way to go? All caps, 2 exclamation points, centered, MORE on 1 line then AL!! on the next.
Any other ideas? I never like my ideas so if someone has something better, please let me know.

Acceptable? Changes? The only pins I can make are 2 1/4"
In my next version the "more" will have more arch to follow the button's curve.
