Still need a few people to answer some questions for these events:

999 Happy Haunts 2002

O-Pin House 2009

This is Love 2004

Would love your help! We can do a phone or email interview!

Thanks!

Hey again! I am still doing my research and I was wondering if anyone had any connections to the Disney Design Team artists. I would love to be able to ask them a few questions.

And I would love to be able to interview either Jim Matthews or Steven Miller.

I know this is a long shot, but I have to try every avenue.

Thanks everyone!

Austin

Hey Everyone!
A few weeks ago I posted that I was doing some research into the past events of pin trading and my research continues. I finished looking into the Epcot 2002 Pin Celebration: Search for Imagination. It's been a blast looking into the pins and the event activities, but now I'm onto more events.

If anyone has been to any of these events send me an email (darthbadgett@gmail.com) or a PM:
DLR:
DL Diva Villain Event 2000
O-Pin House 2009

WDW:
The Princess Ball Pin Event 2002
999 Happy Haunts 2002
Pin Celebration- search for imagination 2002 -- I have what I need, but if someone has a great story send it my way.
Mickey's Parti Gras 2003
Love is Magical 2011

DCL:
Villainous Pin Voyage 2004

So if anyone here on the board went to these events or knows someone who went to these events and wants to give me a short interview over the phone or Skype or even through email (I have a list of questions that can be answered at your leisure), I would be so grateful. There is only so much information I can find online. The personal stories are where all the really good stuff is.

Thank you everyone!

Austin

Good luck on your hunt, sadly I got into pin trading a bit late. I would have LOVED to go to the princess ball event!
 
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the 2011 event called Love Is Magical?

This Is Love was an earlier event.
 
I attended both The Princess Ball Pin Event 2002 & Mickey's Parti Gras 2003. Just shoot me a PM for my email, unless it's listed under my profile and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.

Hey Austin. Regarding the Disney Design Team artists. You might want to try "Linkedin", the professional job site and do a search by Name (if you have access to the Artists names you want to talk with, or search by Disney Design Team. I know Martha Widener (a former DDT/DDG artist is out there). You then can reach out to them via e-mail.

Mike,
Thanks! I'll try that right now.

There is a person you may want to contact regarding the 2009 O-Pin House DLR event. I saw wonderful photos he had posted on his Picasa photo albums. His name is Roger Yamashita. He may even be a DPF member, not sure. But when I looked at his albums recently, I no longer see the Opin house photos. Maybe you can find out where they went. Just Google Roger's name and his Picasa albums will come up.
 

Thank you so much!
