Biked to the @busybeaverbuttonco.bsky.social 30th anniversary party last night, where I made my own button. Hmmm, stickers and buttons coming soon?

We’ve been handmaking buttons for bands and record labels since 1995!

Some of our earliest were Chicago legends like Blue Meanies, Alkaline Trio, Braid, and Sweep The Leg Johnny—along with Tenacious D, No Idea Records, Texas Is The Reason, Low, and Polyvinyl.
