BT buttons?

This was mentioned in a another thread, but maybe it's worth at least starting the discussion.
Once when I was talking with Cass, he said that one of the reasons why he ran events was so that the Bar Towel, could get "offline", and there would be face-to-face interaction in this community.
Over the past months, I've met lots of people from here, but, man, there's lots that I haven't and then heard things like, "I was there at the same time you were."
My wife is a member of Ravelry, an online knitting community, much like BT. Forums, pattern sharing, etc... (Ok, I'm on Ravelry too).
But one thing they have is buttons with people's handles on them, so that at events people feel more comfortable introducing themselves. In fact when we go to knitting events, one of the first questions people often ask is if they are on the site, and what's their handle so they can keep in contact.
Not sure how we would go about doing that (or if there's even an interest here for that) and I wouldn't want to just put it on Cass to be responsible for it, but it might be something that helped us connect a little more and maybe collectively we can figure something out.
