The fine folks at Badge Bomb came all the way from Portland, OR to join in the Comic Con madness. The party didn’t really get started until the newly relocated NYC resident, Jeremyville showed up.

Below Scott of Badge Bomb/ One Inch Round and Jeremyville give a tour of some special Badge Bomb products.  You remember the
Jeremyville interview, right?

I won’t lie…. the party was epic!!! Here’s a little video teaser thanks to Trent J.

 

Thanks to everyone who came out to the One Inch Round 10 Year Anniversary Party and showed some love, shook their booty, and wagged a finger. We love you all back! In the coming days (lets be real…. weeks) we’ll post more photos and videos as they come in. While Koi Fushion Cart, Voodoo Doughnuts Van, The Woods itself, and the foam fingers were awesome, anyone who was there knows that Billy & Chris’s Death Star Pinata stole the show. In some ways, it was a crying shame to see their beautiful masterpiece destroyed, but I guess it was okay since it was done with a light saber bat.

In honor of ten years shipping buttons ’round the planet, and three years from here in Portland, we’re throwing our 10-year anniversary party at The Woods for our friends, customers, fellow button enthusiasts, and anyone else who wants to come out and have a kick-ass time. Come join us and dance to the soulful stylings of DJ Cooky Parker, eat your food cart heart out, enter our drawing to win 1,000 free custom buttons with your logo, come take a swing at a custom pinata full of buttons and other goodies… Are we ballsy enough to make the pinata look like our boss? You’ll just have to come to find out.

RSVP via Facebook


When: Saturday July 3rd at 8:00pm ’til late
Where: The Woods Portland
What: DJ Cooky Jar Spins Soul, Win 1000 custom buttons, Mystery Pinata, and more…

Admission is 21 & over and FREE!
