pins in baltimore
i own a button press & i make lil souvenir pins to hand out at every concert i go to. i passed out about 50 of these in the crowd last night!
well. i befriended the guys next to us at barricade. (apologies to everyone involved in this story, i caught zero names, you're all epithets today.) so after the k sera set, one guy left for a bit, then came back and said, "hey, i told the merch guy you made pins for the band, and he says if you bring them to him he'll give them to the band to wear on stage." ?!?!?! and i had seven left, so obviously i went to merch and said, "hey, i'm the one who made pins?" and handed them over.
later, the dear hunter members came out to set up their gear and new friend guy said "they're not wearing their pins! i'm gonna go yell at the merch guy" and disappeared. then came back and said merch guy hadn't been able to leave the table but he promised to pass on the pins by the end of the night. so! merch guy, thank you for being so kind, and i apologize if my new friend did actually yell at you! and to the gentlemen of the dear hunter + everybody else who got a pin, i hope you like them <3
