Actually, to that end effect I am not surprised at all. I was a dinner once
not long ago with my roommate, who dragged me along for company. As he was
introducing himself and me, he'd say "YHONE", which is his screen name, then
there'd be this cacophony of "I KNOW YOU!!!" Mercifully, "Ereskanti"
is more
than rare-enough to not get such responses. Somehow, I think that will be
different in August....

Anyway, on that topic. Assuming no one makes any major choices on T-Shirts
for the RN group, I am just fore-warning everyone that I am probably going to
try and have one of my own made. Yeah, it'll be more expensive, and I'll
likely have it done at one of the local air-brush booths. It won't have the
nifty names, but it will definitely make certain -some- people will recognize
me.

BUT, I am still interested in one of the List shirts...

My vote is for the "shirt back" like Granite made, with the "ShadowRN"
done in
"Shadowrun" formatting, and for the alternate backing that Wafflemeisters'
made. I still think those "Cogs" of his were cool, and probably a bit easier
to do on formatting for a print.

We'll see I guess....
