First of all, this photo belongs to Jane Young. She was very excited to take it at IRI this year, when I showed her my bag.

Yup, that would be me - a lady who goes gaga over a blue camo messenger bag covered with buttons and nerdly stuff. The Converse weren't bad, either. :D

Me thinks you will need a bigger messenger bag for next year :)

Or more space [: Before IRI, I attached two strips of ribbon (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs020.ash2/34370_415996351951_805846951_4463629_3010448_n.jpg ) to the bag to make more room. Post-IRI, I STILL didn't have enough room, so I did some searching in my basement. I did find some chain (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs103.ash2/38466_420338111951_805846951_4565887_6089420_n.jpg ) that I safety pinned to the bag. The chain is just the right size for attaching pins to.

Reason #1 to not get a new bag - I don't want to take all of these pins off. They all have masking tape over the pin clasp (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs103.ash2/38466_420338121951_805846951_4565889_5678205_n.jpg ) in the back to keep them from falling off. Even taking ONE off isn't fun :P

Quite the fashion maven!

How much does it weigh/how much would it hurt if you threw it! ;)

I took some of my stuff and put it on my wall (buttons, team 78 AIRStrike rally towel that I found in the parking lot at BC10, pins, lanyards*217's is my real keychain, rubber bracelets, Battlecry Alliance#8 paper, and name tags from FLL and the NH High Tech counsel a where I represented my team along with a few other students).

Looks cool!

It feels like it weighs a lot, but it doesn't weigh enough to register as a weight on the electronic scale that I have at home. I'd estimate a pound or two, but that's a very bad and rough estimation. The bag itself probably weighs more than the contents of it (which can get pretty heavy - at competitions, that's wallet, duct tape, zip ties, energy drinks, keys, and my camera)

And it depends on how hard you throw it ;)

One of our animators is a massive Beatles fan, and she has a messenger bag just like that filled with beatles buttons. looks like shes not the only one out there
