Greetings friends!
My name is Lindsey. I have been attending PAX since 2013 and decided it was finally time that I take the plunge and become a member of the Cookie Brigade! Last month, I took my first steps and baked over 200 cookies for the Cookie Brigade, which my friend then took to PAX South. I plan to do the same again since I will be attending PAX East in just a few weeks. I look forward to working with you all and helping raise money for the cause!
Cheers 
Howdy all,
My name is Lindsay, not to be confused with previous poster Lindsey.
I live in Perth, Western Australia. Pretty much the other side of the world to most Pax locations and 5 hours flight to the nearest. Not that it’s stopped me from seeing a bunch of them. Boston in 2010, every Melbourne PAX and San Antonio just this year with my wife, who some of you may know as Luckycharm from the pin trading.
That’s where I got the idea to join Cookie Brigade, in a roundabout way. We talked to Senno at Aus last year and the poor guy sounded run off his feet and wasn’t able to enjoy the convention itself so much. So I figure I could afford to share the load, so to speak.
I look forward to collaborating with you all in the future.
Hello! I’m Cat. Baking has been a hobby of me for awhile (mostly just cookies) and I often send them to work with my friends and they get raving reviews. This has inspired me to share more of them. I don’t care about making a profit for myself because I just enjoy knowing I made something people like and it makes me feel useful. As somebody who struggles with depression and PTSD on a daily basis, knowing that I can make somebody smile or feel good for even a moment is very fulfilling for me. I’m pretty introverted while I’m assessing situations but can become incredibly outgoing and the “center of the party”, if you will, around the right crowd. Unfortunately my social anxiety and resting bitch face can make me seem unfriendly but I assure you, I am not.
I am a Twitch streamer as well but I have only streamed about 10 times due to my anxiety, but 10 percent of my Twitch donations go to suicide prevention, and when I worked at GameWorks downtown I would always give my tips from the day to the first homeless person I crossed paths with on my way home. I look forward to being a part of this team as I have been an attendee since 2010 (even run a couple booths) and have seen the brigadiers around and always wanted to bake for them.
As Trump would say, I make the best cookies, my cookies are the greatest, I know everything about cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies.
I also do photography and would be more than happy to take pictures for the Brigade’s social media accounts.
We’re happy to have you. Sounds like you’ll fit right in. Make sure you know where HQ is, a lot of distributors deal with anxiety (me too!), PTSD, plain old introverts or what not and having a place to recoup that is semi-private is what keeps most of us going. For some reason PAX doesn’t tend to follow the normal rules in this area since being in your ‘tribe’ lets down those barriers. Keep asking questions and know that once you get on-site and have an hour or so under your belt you’ll be a lot more comfortable. If you want you can even get your feet wet distributing at the Pre-pax game night Thursday at the Sheraton. We run a cookie drop-off and if you let me know when you’re coming I’ll try to be on hand to distribute some with you to get started. If not we’ll work it all out Friday morning. Good luck!
Heya!
I’m Allie, and this is my… 8th? PAX (West/Prime/Whatever, the OG PAX :)) – and I’d rather use my downtime for good rather than evil (evil in this case being buying things I don’t need, ha ha). I usually tell people they can recognize me by my mermaid blue hair but, this being PAX, that’s not really enough to make me stand out I’m super excited that I finally got off my butt and applied to be a Brigadier this year – I’m looking forward to the cookie hustle!
Hello! I’ve been going to PAX West since 2009, but actually only saw the Cookie Brigade in person last year (it’s my fault; I’m not much of a wanderer once I find a place to settle at PAX). Aside from baking I also write, and run (but let’s be real for a second here: the latter is just so I can eat more cookies). Punzie asked if I was interested in joining CB over on the PA forums which kind of spurred me to just go for it (I haven’t poisoned anyone yet! …that I know of). I’ve actually been wanting to join you guys for years but I’m always afraid I’m going to accidentally poison someone/kill someone with allergies. (If you couldn’t tell from that last sentence, I can also be neurotic!)
I’m a big baker and love trying new recipes; I actually just remembered to come here and introduce myself because I was pulling these out of the oven. I also like making cakes and once in a great while, I try my hand at pies (with varying degrees of success).
If I’m not baking I’m playing games (Resident Evil, Legend of Zelda, Silent Hill until it died and went to video game heaven, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros. and Monster Hunter) or doing crafty projects (right now I’m driving myself slowly insane making custom Mickey ears). I also hang out on Twitch, because if I’m not playing a game I’m probably watching someone else play a game (or just watching the Food channel. That channel is great!)
(I’m also on the PA forums as RiDE, so if you hail from that neck of the interwebs you might recognize me.)
Welcome Ride!
Welcome Allie, and Welcome RiDE! 
Oh hey guys!
My name is Liberty, but please call me “Bones” (thanks in advance). I love games. I love cookies. I love the Cookie Brigade! And I love all of you. <3
The end! ;D
Nah, last year was my first PAX and going to my second this fall. Would love to get involved and just generally get to know more PAXers as I don’t have very many PAXer friends.
Oi! I’ve just joined so hello all you lovely people. I’ve been going to PAX since the beginning, been an Enforcer, watched the cookie brigade begin and this year am an Omeganaut and also hope to join the bakers brigade to make some lazzzzzzzer cookies!
Hey all,
I’m Laurel (haiiro on the internet), and unplugged is going to be my first PAX! I love baking and thought this would be a great way to give back, so here I am. Other than that, I love reading and gaming, and do a bit of art on the side.
(I’d be open to doing some art/pixels for the brigade if it be of interest too!)
It’s good to meet everyone, I look forward to baking with you! 8)
Hey, I’m Karen! I live near Boston and have been attending PAX East for years. I went to the inaugural South, and I’m super excited for Unplugged!
I’ve been enjoying the efforts of the cookie brigade for a long time, but because of my gluten allergy my options are limited. I also have a friend with a diary allergy so he needs to be careful as well. Since I love baking, it only made sense to bake some stuff for the cookie brigade.
Welcome katespace, haiironiji, LittleCLUUs, and DieHydrojenOxHide!
Down from the deep, 15 stories tall, sleeping like an elder god, I have returned to PAX, and this time. ITS PERSONAL.
No for real. I’m not media anymore, It’s just your boy Zero back from the dead, I’ve been gone for 7 years and I’ve learned to make some mean Scottish Shortbread cookies and I have the nerdy cookie cutters to go with it. Super Hype to help out the brigade. Y’all were literally one of the first groups I looked for at PAX Unplugged.
Great to have you! I love shortbread. We’re not hitting East this year but maybe I can bribe someone to bring it back to me.
Hello all, I’m Nadine. Went to my first PAX (east) last year after moving back to the U.S. and hearing about it from friends for years. Saw the Cookie Brigade going around and asked my friends what it was. Even though they are PAX veterans they said ‘just random people handing out cookies, I guess’. I thought it was cosplay for a game I’d never heard of tbh. Cut to: I saw a post on the PAX Forums and it makes sense now and it’s all things fabulous!
Welcome aboard Nadine!
Hello! My name is Jessica and Pax South is going to be my very first Pax event so I’m excited.
I found out about the Cookie Brigade when I was trying to track down more info on what happens/goes on at Pax and volunteer opportunities.
Hi all! Just yesterday I submitted my application to volunteer at PAX South. Since I am just waiting now to hear back, I thought I could introduce myself. This will be the fourth Pax South that I’ve attended with my husband and daughter.
[/size]I enjoy baking cookies but don’t get to do it too often since the other members of my family are either health conscious or just not very interested in sweets. I also deliver meals for Meals on Wheels here in Austin. I really like volunteering with Meals on Wheels, but did you know that they never provide dessert? It’s true! (Unless you count fresh fruit as a dessert. (But I don’t.)) [size=14px] 
Welcome Joyce! I also do not count fruit as dessert!!
