Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of merit badges...Association of Caffeinated Wheelmen
Jinxed, Just saw this video about Google Forms. I haven't dived into it yet, but the video on this link seems to suggest that it could be a simple way for you to get orders gathered up, or at least get an idea of who wants pins/patches, and how many... Not sure this is a perfect solution, but seems pretty organized. Hope it helps David j.david.str...@gmail.com On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 7:16 PM, jinxed hbcl...@yahoo.com wrote: David, Hey there!! Yea...I am the ground zero on the ACW. I might have a pin or two stashed away, but I'll have to look. I have already consulted an embroidery company on doing patches after a lengthy and fun chat with Harry Hugel at Rivendell. Jeeze, that was a year ago I think!! Man time just keeps rolling on. I used to be a commercial embroiderer by trade so a patch was always on the burner. The pins were unexpectedly CRAZY popular when I did them and I didnt anticipate the shipping charges well nor a very streamlined ordering process SO that said...I'd be happy to do another lapel pin run, and or patch run, IF I could come up with some officially non-official AND simple way to take orders. Do any of you know an easy way to do this? The last time I took email orders and it was crazy to keep track of as many people use different emails for contact and paypal, not to mention screen names. The solid brass cloisonné pins would need to bump from $6 to $8 if the pricing is the same. They were spendy, and shipping was more than I estimated. I just need to break even...these were for fun, not money. Patch pricing TBD but is usually based on stitch count which is connected to size. Which brings up a question...what size patch?? Based on the design and my experience, minimum would need to be 3 - 3.25 diameter. Too small? Too big?

I think it's cool that you're letting outsiders buy a pin/patch. I'd be in. Some day down the road, this and a just ride patch will have deep meaning to a small fraternity of people. I love this story because it reminds me of a secret club that a bunch of guys who I grew up ski racing with belonged to: The Jackson Hole Air Force.While I went to college and got a degree which I still quetion the usefulness of, they stayed around and became the best skiers in the world. There was even a movie about them (which I haven't yet seen), and you can see their patch in one of the preview slides here: http://www.swiftsilentdeep.com/ As was your original intent, they very much had a cloaked in secrecy air to the whole thing - mostly because they were skiing in places that were illegal to ski. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of merit badges...Association of Caffeinated Wheelmen
I have no clue about tracking orders. There's gotta be some sort of Google Doc that might be useful. I would definitely care to order a pin if possible and am still super interested in the patch idea but have no idea how complicated that goes. My only thought is on the ACW blogspot blog, maybe you could post paypal info and advertise a pre-order with a cutoff date. That may have been what you did before. Not sure there is a way to organize a lot of folk at that point though. Thanks again for your help in getting the ball rolling again - I'm very stoked if it works out. Cheers all, David S.

David, Hey there!! Yea...I am the ground zero on the ACW. I might have a pin or two stashed away, but I'll have to look. I have already consulted an embroidery company on doing patches after a lengthy and fun chat with Harry Hugel at Rivendell. Jeeze, that was a year ago I think!! Man time just keeps rolling on. I used to be a commercial embroiderer by trade so a patch was always on the burner. The pins were unexpectedly CRAZY popular when I did them and I didnt anticipate the shipping charges well nor a very streamlined ordering process SO that said...I'd be happy to do another lapel pin run, and or patch run, IF I could come up with some officially non-official AND simple way to take orders. Do any of you know an easy way to do this? The last time I took email orders and it was crazy to keep track of as many people use different emails for contact and paypal, not to mention screen names. The solid brass cloisonné pins would need to bump from $6 to $8 if the pricing is the same. They were spendy, and shipping was more than I estimated. I just need to break even...these were for fun, not money. Patch pricing TBD but is usually based on stitch count which is connected to size. Which brings up a question...what size patch?? Based on the design and my experience, minimum would need to be 3 - 3.25 diameter. Too small? Too big?

As it turned out, it was apparent that not only had the vast majority of our rides (bike, motorcycle, skateboard, snowboard...) started or ended over coffee, but many of our good friends and riding partners were met at the cafes we were frequenting. We had a pretty good network that spanned darn near coast to coast. An Association of Caffeinated Wheelmen I blurted out while simultaneously sketching out a logo on the napkin Fast forward to about 6 months ago, I was digging through some piles of artwork looking for something, and stumbled on my original sketch. All of the patches and hats we had originally done up were long retired, lost, or given away...so I got in touch with some of the original ACW's and told them I was going to mint some lapel pins...everyone chipped in to beat the minimums. Our whole thing was very tongue in cheek, but we wanted it to have an old money-secret society-unleash the hounds type of feel to it. Anyway after finding the iBob's / ROB's and meeting so many awesome people and reading about the network that exists between the riders, I thought it would be cool to expand the ACW. It's all for fun and conversation, and really just a bit of decoration for the bags, hats etc...but wanted to offer them up. I have @ 20-30 or so left of the lapel pins, but we can do more if interest is there. We were also contemplating doing up some patches too? $6/pc shipped to you. Trades for your club pins is good too. For that matter no interesting trade would be turned down. Drop me line hbcl...@yahoo.com or just paypal me there with your info!

Thanks everyone for the positive response! I am glad they are showing up safe and sound. For those I have not been in direct email contact with, I already have another batch on order and should have them in hand @ 3 weeks. There is a growing pre-paid list already and I will ship those out first thing when the restock is here. ALSO, I have a blog put together that I am ironing out to add a bit of picture/story fun to all this. I need to write up a few things, but I am setting up a gallery to show off the pins/bikes/cafes...whatever, and a map to show where all these things are going. Maybe take submissions of stories, tales, spurious lore...you know. Cafe reviews? I will send out an email with details when it's sorted. Thanks again!

I agree, These are great! I got mine yesterday at the PO box, applied it to the mini caradice roll immediately and went across the street to get coffee to celebrate the pin shaped confirmation of my lifelong commitment to caffinated wheeling.

[RBW] Re: Speaking of merit badges...Association of Caffeinated Wheelmen
You may want to be fast...I think I underestimated the interest these would garner. 20 are spoken for already, I have 10 or so left. Maybe wise to check before sending funds from now on. I can have more made, but the turn time is like 3 weeks. I don't want to have people waiting. Brad There are many things which kick ass and this is CLEARLY one of them.
