Sorry Lady J, no idea :( I did get mine, though they are, to be honest,
U-G-L-Y Pinkish/Tan is really not my color...

Anyways, what's the status of the '98 shirts? Everyone was fired up about
it a little while back, and now, nothing...

I would love to be able to get the shirts before at least Gen Con in
August, and preferably in July for Origins :] Did we (and can we?) decide
on a style/picture and go with it?

I`d be prepared to put up with `ugly` if I thought there was even a
chance of seeing about $200 worth of shirts... *whinge*

I agree, I have seen better shirts made for the list...

Just like I said a little while ago: things get bogged down and then
nothing happens unless someone kicks it to get it started again...

I think we agreed on the icons for an SR saying on the front, and the
usual year plus list of names on the back. We were in the process of
finding someone who can draw those icons...

*a-hem* draw? I'll do it just send me the stuff ;) do you want it scanned
or snail mailed? If you want it scanned you'll have to be quick about as
I'm not certain I'll have access to a scanner over the summer but I can
always snail mail em to someone ...

Over the years there have been 3(?) List Shirts. It's basically a
shirt that we've worked together to produce for the members of the
ShadowRN List. In 1996 the operation went pretty smoothly. Things
kinda fell apart with the production of the last shirt and some of
the people that ordered a shirt still haven't received it.

This year the process has been more democratic. There are a number
web sites with proposed art that I guess we're going to vote on
(would the person who's hosting the master link page for the T-shirt
art please post it?). Then we just need someone to volunteer to do
the actual coordination of the project (finding a printer, getting
some price quotes, taking orders, collecting money, and sending out
the shirts).

> as a newbie around here.. 'List Shirt'??

Since 1994, we've had an annual T-shirt made for the various
Shadowrun-related mailing lists at iTribe (back then they were still at
hearn.nic.surfnet.nl, BTW). Last year's shirt got delayed until early this
year, but when it finally did arrive we got talking about doing the real
1998 shirt.

The intention, as it is every year except apparently last, is to have a
list of names of all the people who bought a T-shirt on the back. That
means you'll have to pay fo it _before_ the shirts get printed, but it's
coolness to have a shirt with your own name (or nick) on the back... Plus
it helps others in recognizing you as a ShadowRN listmember :)

And verily, did Lander Williams hastily scribble thusly...
|as a newbie around here.. 'List Shirt'??

The Shadowrn mailing list has a tee-shirt.
Usually each year, one gets made so people'll recognise each other at
Gencon.

Sometimes the thing goes a little pear shaped though...
(Not the tee-shirt, the ordering of them)

Wouldn't it then be better or cooler for that matter if everyone who
bought one also send in an autograph and a picture of themself ...
And some poor sob with a scanner can make a groovy collage ...

Since apparently "we" could not decide on what stick figures to use.

I'll buy on if it says "ShadowRN - Pre Awakended Forum" :)

Well off to London I go now to Visit the World of Amiga show ... CU!

Though this is a cool idea, it's a bit impractical -- it needs to be
screen-printed on th T-shirt, so there's a minimum resolution involved, as
well as the obviously limited space available on a T-shirt.

> I'll buy on if it says "ShadowRN - Pre Awakended Forum" :)

Nice idea :)
