Returning with a vengeance for PAX 2009. Because cake isn't naturally occurring. Now with more cookies, more brigadiers, and a donation total of $5,000 to top.

* * *

Welcome! We're here to coordinate and plan an event taking place during Penny Arcade Expo--the Cookie Brigade. Continuing in the noble tradition of our PAX 07 "cookie girl" sisters, we will be bringing homemade baked goods and snacks to PAX 08. Taking strength from our pastry-guerilla roots, we are now recruiting a pastry army. Do you have what it takes?

In 2008, we will don the Sash of Cookie Justice and circulate among convention-goers. We will be in tournaments, we will be in Freeplay rooms, and we will be in the Exhibition Hall. Each of us will be carrying homemade cookies or candy, available for a small cash donation. On the last day of PAX, we will tally up the proceeds and donate them to Child's Play. 

In the meantime, the long dark winter of discontent stretches before us. To keep the vanilla-scented torch of Hope alight, we encourage members to contribute their recipes, comments on their baking experiments, and any PAX-related news they might come across. Have any Cookie Brigade projects you'd like to discuss? Want to be involved in sash design? Interested in helping with publicity and promotion of the Cookie Brigade? Post about it and lets talk.
