It's all about screenprinting vs. heat transfer vs. dye sublimation.

the design is really just a picture modified lightly in photoshop, so screenprinting is out, AND 4C offset screenprinting is not only super rare, but super expensive and 99.9% of shops won't touch anything less than a 1000 piece order.

Heat transfer can be done but the hand (how it feels on the shirt) will be a little stiff until washed, it will be on the unprofessional side (think bass jumping out of water shirt). Only light colors, only cotton

dye sub would be great, can go on black, but only works on synthetics, though a 50/50 shirt will work, so these shirts can't be used for any track time.

In all scenarios I've got to rework the artwork unless someone has good photoshop skills to clean it up.

Another option is to have just a fuchsia Pelican logo and text embroidered.

The rub is that I really have never been busier. I've got a few milestones through Sunday to hit, after that I can pay a little more attention to this.

The shirts are easy. You can go to Americanapparel.net, article1.net, alternativeapparel.com to check shirts.

Kim, I PM'd you with my shirt request.

Got it. Thx Don.

Kim - how much are these things gonna be?

Did ya put out an RFQ? Pass it by the committee and then appropriate the necessary funds?

Achtung!

rjp is in Vegas 3/24-3/29 staying at Imperial (supposedly remodeled)

rjp

Imperial remodeled... Let me know how the shower works. I had issues the last time I stayed there and I am only 5'5" on a really good day.

Crap, hope this doesn't turn into an Omen..

actually, I'm checking out on 3/26 but gonna go to Mum's till the 29th..

rjp

Kim, if your 5'5" on a good day, what are you on a bad day?

5'4 3/4" on a bad day... :(

Need to talk to Shaun next week about shirts and price and such... I will keep you all posted.

2 for flintch'n and 1/4" off for slump'n?

Should be $10-$12 each T if I can get the dye-sub or standard heat transfer to work out.

Kim, can you please send me a spreadsheet of who wants what?

On its way...

Everyone, we need to know who wants t-shirts by 12am on 3/1/2006 PST. Anything after this date will not be accepted. Thanks!

PS - has anyone really set up a meeting place? Tab's house? where? Shall we all put on those "Hello My name is" tags? (A'LA Japanese tourists)

I'm pretty buff at 5'0" about 310LBS. Mom teases me and calls me "big boned.

I'll be off the plane around 9AM. Then to the closest buffet to eat myself into a coma.

rjp

Kim,

Joe A

Everyone, we have one week before T-shirt orders are closed. Please email me if you would like a shirt.

Thanks kldoll@directv.com

suggestion: I was just talking to a colleague and he told me about the Cirque de Soleil....the "adult" version.....

this thread is useless without pics...

SLAKJAW WILL BE THERE!!!!!

I look forward to meeting you all.

Cheap flights are hard to find out here in the country, but on the plus side you get to eat all the peaches you want.

I could eat a peach for hours...

(highly out of tune)

"Move'n to the Country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches."

Could eat a taco until it twitches... :)

Controlling Tabs after an "adult" version of CdS could be interesting... sure you are up to this?

I hear that all the CdS shows are booked up months in advance. Anyone know anymore about it?

Joe A

not true.

Assume that you have been to one of the shows? What is the best way to get tickets?

My friend got the tickets on Friday for Saturday.

I do suggest planning ahead if we want to get them though.....

And which one is the best to see? Never have seen one but heard that they are good.

Yeah, so, I could eat a peach four hours. SmileWavy

This is the one my friend went to

We've been able to get tickets the day of (for CDS) and actually pretty decent seats. The Hotel concierge usually can find some.

But planning ahead will ensure the best seats.

Anyone else want to go? What night? Assume that Friday night will have everyone getting in.

What is our schedule or do we have one other than going to Tabs house and eating him poor? :) I should be coming in either Thursday or Friday and staying until Sun or Monday.

Joe A

OK, I may be able to attend.... What hotel is everyone staying at?
Or at least one that is close???

I'm at the Orleans...

3 sets of us are at a Marriot Residence Inn just off the strip.

Oh yeah - and this applies to just about everyone...

If the Taxi driver at the Airport offers to take you via the strip or via the Highway, you are about to be ripped off! The Highway is generally out of the way and longer and going via the strip will add a lot of time (traffic).

My wife and I just booked a room at the Palace Station Hotel. It's off the strip by a mile. But, honetly, I don't want to be on the strip.
And I will be driving. :)

http://www.allegiantair.com/pr/120605.htm - Lincoln just started cheap flights to Las Vegas... $69. I may be out of town, but you can leave your car at my house if you decide to fly. I dunno what the Omaha airport does, they may have better deals yet.

Lee,

Put your boat in the Vegas Craigs list. Lots of boating around there and tell them that you will deliver for expenses!

See you there...

Joe
