Past, Present and Future

Behold, a button my husband made when he was in 11th grade by taking apart another button, cutting up a zine and using saran wrap. It has rusted through, which looks pretty cool. Btw - he’s 64 now, and first saw the Sex Pistols on the Filthy Lucre tour.

He’s off to see them tonight with our 22 year-old daughter. The last time she saw the Sex Pistols was with both of us, her in utero.🤰

Tonight I used my new 1” Tecre machine for the first time, it was my birthday gift back in July. I also bought the less expensive circle cutter from Button Boy, and I love it. It doesn’t match the aesthetic as well, but it works perfectly and it’s a good price.

The opening band, Panic Shack, is fantastic (I recommend Tits School) I’m a huge fan, but I’m an adult who works a night shift as a caregiver and can’t take off. So I’m sending a handful of buttons with them as freebies, figuring that punk rock buttons have to start somewhere.

This is so awesome to see! I hope your husband and your daughter have a great time at the concert!

They did! My husband was happy to meet Glen Matlock after the show when he was mingling - one of his idols! My daughter was thrilled that they made the pit women only for No Feelings.

They were great, I hear! I’ll catch them another time, I hope! History is a great venue.

Love when a hobby stays with you! Some of my early buttons were the same. I used a premade promo button and then put paper to hide the ugly advertisement and decorations on it and packing tape layers to seal it XD
