So I guess I will try to stop thinking of button designs for a while...if you are interested in this button idea just go to http://sweb.uky.edu/~klhaut2/music/ and decide which one you think would look best on a jacket or purse or piercing. Feedback is welcome, requests are welcome...let the voting begin!

my vote was for the first four color button, very soothing to my eye. i really would wear any of the buttons that were options though. running close behind were the photographer and guitar buttons. but the twins that stork was holding were awfully cute...

i voted for the purple button. however, the photographer button comes in a very close second.

I voted for the 'Photographer Button.' It's visually interesting, yet it's simple. I think that it's very attention-grabbing. I like the ample use of white space. The one suggestion that I might make would be to make "The Features" be in a different font. The current one is good, but it might be a tad hard to read.

My second choice would be the 'Guitar Button'.

Who do I need to send my $20 to?

It'll probably be less than $20 if a couple of us split the cost. I guess we can get the money situation figured out after we've chosen a design.

i agree, the font is a little hard to read...

I voted for the photographer button. It is mighty adorable. I personally love the font and hope it's legible enough to keep. My second choice would be the stork design.

i really like both of the four color buttons but i voted for the first one.

I just noticed that if you look at roger's section of digsyslattery's four color design, you can see the back of damon's head. i just found that to be very intersting as well as amusing...

um...where'd the buttons go? does digsy need to get another site? he can if he needs to...he's sorry if uploading those things caused problems...

what a nipple.

Well that's okay. You could have wished that HeyLuLu and I contract AIDS together and die in a pool of our own vomit.


And once again the conversation slips to Oasis

I should have seen it coming from a mile away....

Okay, back to relevance (no one on this board thought they'd ever hear me say that, I know) but since everyone was all about donating 20 dollars, does anyone think it'd be a good idea for us to just collectively buy a button maker and make however many of whatever design we want?

And I'm going to try and figure out another way for us to view the buttons...even if it just comes down to mailing a collage to people....

dont make buttons. theyre dumb. by the way- who was the extracute boy in the front row of the boro with glasses, brown hair, straight teeth, not too tall, and a little too shy to dance? just curious. im not too tall either, you know....

buttons are not dumb, they are an easy way to show support for the features. they can go with just about anything, jackets, purses, you name it...

and by the way, has anyone else noticed the way the board is slowly becoming a weird version of "love connection"?

Homemade buttons never come out as well as ones made by those who make them professionally. Just a thought.

Will

buttons buttons buttons...whose got the button?

(Edited by ghostflower at 12:32 am on Sep. 30, 2002)

Well I would say that you speak of me except for the "too shy to dance" part. But I may have an idea of who you speak...

I think I might have an idea as well...in fact i believe i know this person very well...

(Edited by ray davies at 9:45 am on Sep. 30, 2002)

Me, too!!! Me, too!!! OK... not really. I just wanted to feel like part of the club.

What exactly is going on here? Where are these buttons that people are voting on? Not up on the site anymore...

digsyslattery posted some ideas for some features buttons that he considered making on the mp3 site. then wiyum added some designs of his own. digsy then put up a poll on which people could vote for their favorite design. everything was going fine until the guy who runs the mp3 site decided to take them down from his site.

I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about. He's taken. And even if he wasn't, he likes buttons... So, I don't think it would work out.

(Edited by Sexy Sadie at 9:46 am on Sep. 30, 2002)

pleas stop talk buttons.

why? buttons are an easy way to promote the band.

(Edited by ray davies at 7:10 pm on Sep. 30, 2002)

Okay, well since we've stopped talking about buttons and music, and we've already discussed where we wash our clothes...why don't we talk about where we use a stove? I personally use the stove that is downstairs in the kitchen. It's a nice stove that I will miss when we move...sigh...

pleas stop stove talk stove top stuffing.

Hmm...okay in that case, let's all vote on which band we like better: Incubus or Audiovent.

Personally, I enjoy Incubus more. I don't find them great, horrible, anything...just average and not annoying at all. Audiovent's CD is titled "Dirty Sexy Knights In Paris." Only Flickerstick can pull that crap off.

It sure is hard when your conversation cannot include music, buttons, or stove top stuffing.

yeah well me and tomfoolery.. we err.. know someone that is way cooler than that guy

yeah, im pretty sure i was just kidding.

but please, let us talk.

meeow

aaaahahaha anyone who suggests a catfight is...wait... wants in on it! please, you first.

Check the new poll for the full listing of buttons and the new place to see the buttons (ie, NOT an mp3 site)...

Will

well thats not true

oh come on.

If there's a cat fight between messageboard members, please schedule it with BrianW so he can shoot a video about it. I will volunteer to be the announcer guy who says, "Let's get ready to rumble."

I call cheerleader. Any excuse to do some Pelle-esque scissor kicks...

ha! yall i was never in the cat fight i was just merely pointing out that cat like qualitys of what they were saying. not that i couldnt take you..

stupid. it was a joke from the beginning and remained a joke until the end. not to say that this is the end.

jesus. out of the four posts i have read of yours, every single one has made me want to slap you.

fascinating. the person who first made the dated reference to a cat fight is now hypothetically instigating one; and in addition, imagining that she could, actually, smack me through her computer.

id like to get up in that big brain of yours and just walk around. - thats from waynes world 2.

Hello all. Please visit http://sweb.uky.edu/~klhaut2/music/images.html

I never saw the button designs you all are talking about. If they got uploaded to my MP3 page, they probably got deleted.

Every day, I run a shell script which scans the MP3 uploads directory, looks for files that are too small to be MP3s or which don't have the .mp3 extension, and deletes them automatically. It's basic housekeeping, not anything personal.

The MP3 page is set up to index uploaded files by Artist and Album ID3 tags. Since image files don't have ID3 tags, that is your first clue that they don't belong on that page. I should probably write something into the code which prevents non-MP3 files from ever being written to that directory in the first place. I haven't gotten around to it yet.

fuck cat fight. its going down.

What's the status with the buttons? Who do I give money to?

I have yet to see the buttons. (Hint, hint.)

I don't know, are people still interested? It seems like the band listened to our requests and got their own made (which are truly truly beautiful...I will wear mine for at least the next week straight), one of which resembles the button that was actually winning the poll. If people are still interested I guess we can discuss it.

Ah, not being around I didn't know that they got their own. Damn I need one. If they've got it covered I guess there's no need.

Yeah dude I totally want a button to show off my love of The Features to all the people who stare at my backpack as I go from class to class.

ok, so the features have finally designed a button....what does it look like? i'm sure that it's really god damn cute...

there is one that is black and in white lowercase it says "the features" and another one with the photographer and above his head it says "the features" the pin is white, the guy and the font is black.

I think it's great that the Features are reaching out to people of other ethnicities by putting African-Americans on their merchandise.

i hope that they dont run out of buttons before the show on the 16th because i am in dire need of a features button.

Because of the length and time put into this very thread, I say no one deserves a button more than Digsy.

I never have a chance to go out sporting buttons, but I'll buy them anyway. I'll add it to my stack of Features memorobilia.

Next button should include a hot asian chick.

Noooooo.....

I've seen the button and might I just say that when i get my hands on one, i shall wear it everywhere with pride. it's just so fucking cute that it makes me love the band even more than i already did. it's just very representative of the band. bravo to the band and their management for waking up to the design...(hardy har har!!!! )

You got a problem with hot asian chicks?

i love how even you guys use the word "cute". now thats cute.

Ummm.... I am just jealous of them because they are quite pretty and they seem to get all the men I like. Nothing on a personal level though. Just being petty.

Someone should include Matt Button.

Well holy fucking shit. Has someone at Idaho St. uncovered neuboy's login info, or has the man returned? I can't believe this.

No, my constant harassing has just finally paid off.

FUCK YEAH! Its good to see you posting again! Actually, I don't think you have posted since I have been a member...hope all is well-I haven't seen you since we watched Return of the Jedi way back in May!
