Roll Call for the UPM (Ultimate Pelican Meet) March 24-26 Las Vegas - Whose Going?

[Shaun @ Tru6]

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

[12own911]

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.

[M.D. Holloway]

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

[Shaun @ Tru6]

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?

[12own911]

On its way...

[12own911]

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!

[RANDY P]

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.
