Ok. After talking with J.D. Falk, I'm taking over the T-Shirt thing.

Here's what I'll do:

Tomorrow I've scheduled some lab time (I think). I'm going to scan in
the B&W logo from the back of the Seattle Sourcebook for the front, and
I'll come up with something for the back.

Then I will print out the designs, rescan them in again as GIFs and
they'll be put into JD Falk's FTP directory for everyone to look at.

I've called around for prices at the five local screening shops in
Mankato. Prices per shirt (QTY 12) range from about $10.10 to $18.00.
This is for one colour front and back back on a coloured shirt. I dunno
if we can make more than one colour shirt available. If not, the colour
will be ash-grey with black print (looks good) or black with either white
or flourescent gree print (it looks really kool). Other suggestions are
needed. Remember, one colour.

If we can mix-n-match colour and ink, I'll make about three or four
designs avaialable.

After factoring in shipping costs and other variables, the price will be
$15 per shirt. This might go down a LITTLE, as I still need to get a bid
from one other company, but $15 seems pretty standard for net.shirts.

I know the price isn't great, but unless we order large quantities (like
over 36 or 50), the price just isn't that great.

-------------------------

How it will work:

SEND NO MONEY RIGHT NOW, AND DON'T TELL ME YOU WANT ONE YET!

Once I get the actual designs and a finalized price, I'll post an
announcement. In order to increase interest, I'm going to cross-post to
ShadowTK and NERPS, and the shirt will reflect all four mailing lists on
it (on the front it will list all four names).

Then, you have to send me the $$$ (prepay) along with a form you'll fill
in with your summer address and other stuff. Foreign orders will be
accepted, but the price will be a bit higher and only U.S. funds
will be accepted (we can work out the details then).

I'll collect orders for maybe four weeks (to allow for mail delays), and
ONLY those people that order will have their names on the shirt (sorry,
no other way to include everyone.)

If you are ordering more than one shirt, we may be able to work a deal as
shipping will be reduced, so that's an encouragement for people local to
each other to gang-order.

Also, the shirt WILL have a date on it, so that next year we can do
another one if we want with a NEW date.

Any questions? Just ask.
