@ The Pacifist: Well said. Although as it says “OPTIONAL!” in huge letters on the sheet, people are able to put their own new categories on the sheet, and plenty of people put nothing but their name on their badges, which I think says it all.

Boxed or unboxed, the badges – to me at least – are less about what you actually stick on them than they are about being a conversation starter. They’re kind-of cool, like a roll-your-own-hanky-code.

MisterJTA: I’m more worried about what Matt ITHat’s “steaking” incident involved…

BiCon attendees are encouraged to decorate their name badge with stickers showing their affiliation to various groups

You know, for an “open, accepting” group, they sure like putting people in boxes :)

Maybe there should be a sticker for that too.

The “lock picking” one is your handwriting, is it not?

and people million about on the carriageway

Unless there’s a Hell of a lot of people out of shot, I suspect they’re merely milling about on the carriageway…

When I arrived on Thursday, that list had stickers for newbie, available, maybe, not available, pirate, goth and poly, and the orange sticker had no description so I wrote flirtblind.

I knew it would and had grown because I was looking at badges and not knowing what combinations meant (but with a list that size, it’d be difficult at best to remember them *all*!) but I was actually surprised at the extent of the growth this morning when I finally remembered to go add things to my badge. I’m sure it’s bigger than last year’s!
