I have a small addiction to button collecting. On the bag I take to work everyday, I have a bunch of buttons/pins from concerts, festivals, record labels, poster artists and more. I get comments about them every other day in the elevator at work. They're great, because for me, they are little snapshots in time. I remember when I got most of them, and the stories that come with them. They are a fun little reminder of adventures past.

Anyways, I have the two pin sets that Pearl Jam has put out this year, both by artist Heidi Barack. The concert merch version is featured in the photo above - Matt Cameron and Eddie Vedder. Barack is featured in this Seattle Weekly article about her art, Eddie's buttons and other brushes with fame. Take a look at it.
