Not my best work, but man, you’d be amazed how hard it is to find a good “emperor” photo to ’shop up. I almost went with the classic but this works too. :)

That’s fantastic! We were talking in the Gleason puppy cuddling thread that buttons should be made for fans to wear at games. This would be the perfect picture to put on them!

You're right...

It does work pretty well for that:

I posted this in the puppy thread, but you can order buttons here.

Y’all have no idea how tempted I am to buy the set of 10. I want one really really really really bad.

Hallelujah! How cool this is?! – thank for closing out this cold Sunday with a huge smile! -

And – speaking of buttons, how can this be a flair on facebook?

No idea...

I aggressively block apps on Facebook, so I’d never see it. =)

I can make the flair as long as it’s OK to borrow the pic

You know it was fun to spot this Fan Post from RF and then ponder what might be waiting inside based on the cropped version of the picture.

I need to link that fan poll from a week ago predicting Gleason would be the Canes Super Hero we would be talking about today. We fans know a hero when we see one. This should work.

Sooo... shipping is $5 from CafePress

Are there enough takers if I were to order 20 or so? Wouldn’t be so bad then, a bit less than $2 a button.

by Raccoon Fink on Dec 13, 2009 10:36 PM EST reply actions  

I was trying to decide whether to get the order of ten or not. I definitely want one, but if you’re ordering some that seriously cuts down the number of people I have to distribute them to. I don’t know if I can wear all ten at once!

If you do decide to order, let me know and I won’t order.

by caniacgirl on Dec 14, 2009 10:12 AM EST up reply actions  

I would only need 2, for Cyn4Canes and myself, figured it might be easier if we all just order together, so if you want as many as 10, I’ll just go ahead and get 20 and we’ll figure we can do something with ’em. ;)

by Raccoon Fink on Dec 14, 2009 10:17 AM EST up reply actions  

Sounds good to me. I’m pretty sure I know a place and time when Cyn4Canes can unload ten or so (if they are here by then).

We can take some to the Cry-athon on the 18th as well.

by Cyn4Canes on Dec 14, 2009 11:04 AM EST up reply actions  

Yup. As long as you’ve got enough to go around because they are in high demand! :D

by caniacgirl on Dec 14, 2009 11:12 AM EST up reply actions  

Alright

Sounds like there should be enough demand at least to sell 20 of ‘em, so I’ll go ahead and make an order.

Thanks!

They will arrive in 4-6 days, so hopefully they’ll make it in time for the Cry-A-Thon.

This is very cool, great job!! I want one!!! ;)

Monday debate: the next captain

Canes Now debate

For those wanting to join the campaign, the very visible N&O Monday debate moderated (?) Chip Alexander is discussing who the next captain should be. Let your voice be heard.

I can’t believe even the N&O is willing to discuss this topic and mentions Gleason. This Bandwagon is a lot more main stream than I could have ever imagined.

by Carolyn Christians on Dec 14, 2009 7:57 AM EST reply actions  

I had the same thought this morning when I was reading Chip’s article. I like covaitt’s comment.

I wonder, too, if our discussions on Canes Country has helped this topic become more visible.
Bob should be proud. His little hockey blog is all grown up and, IMHO, the de facto choice for Canes news.

That covaitt chick is usually pretty sharp…. ;)

In case you missed it buried in the replies, I went ahead and ordered 20 buttons. They will get here as early as friday, or as late as next monday… =) Hopefully they’ll get here in time for the Cry-A-Thon.

Great stuff! I can’t wait to get mine!

If the buttons get here by Wed we’ll bring some to the game. That’s probably doubtful since they are shipping ground, but hey. A Ward is on waivers, so small miracles can happen.

by Cyn4Canes on Dec 14, 2009 1:57 PM EST up reply actions  

have you looked at the Canes now debate lately? That’s the most comments I’ve ever seen over there.

Can’t wait to get my button!

Shipped!

And you’ll be happy to know, they’re destined to arrive by tomorrow, so there should be buttons at the Cry-A-Thon. Woot!
