Ok, this whole ordering shirt thing is going kindof slow. As of now, the only people who I know who want shirts are Pheobe, Eric and Laura. (Has anyone else even been on the forum recently??) So now I'm all official and bussinessish about this. Most of this has already been said in another thread about fundraising, but nothing was really decided for sure. Also, laura, whenever you get to this, it would be cool if you could send it out on the list. Thanks.
The T-shirts feature a portrait of our (er no, more like the) president, captioned "worst president ever." They are union-made, 100% cotton and the image is screenprinted, and they're pre-shrunk, heat-treated and all that stuff.
They are $15. If you have a already have a blank shirt (or sweatshirt or whatever) and can get it to me, I'll print on it for $8.
If you want one, please email pabshirts@yahoo.com, with the following information: -your name -what size shirt you want -what color shirt you want (white shirt with black ink or black shirt with white ink) -whether you want your shirt to just have the "worst president ever" image, or if you want the "worst president ever" on the back and a skull and crossbones that says "Pirates Against Bush" on the front If I don't have an easy way to get the shirt to you or someone else who can get it to you, please include your adress too.
I'll get back to you with where to send the money, etc. Once I get a bunch of orders, I'll order the shirts. I'm hoping they'll be done in 2 or 3 weeks, but it might be more like a month.

good idea to add to the newsletter. ok, one more thing. you can choose if you just want the worst president ever on the shirt, or if you want that on the back and a skull and crossbones that says "Pirates Against Bush" on the front. sorry pheobe, can you update the thing on the website with that?? and YEAH, we're really gonna have shirts!!! (yeah, i know.)

Sorry I've been asleep at the wheel lately (trying to get my school work in some semblance of an order). But I will send a newsletter out to the list TONIGHT. I'll forward any orders to you, Ben as well as sending you my own order.
Thanks Capt'nLaura

soooo.... i there is a grand total of 5 people who have ordered shirts. (and 3 more who have shirts already to print on) but rather than waiting any longer, i'm gonna buy the shirts this weekend. i'm probably going to get 14 shirts, because i figure we'll be able to sell them at our schools and at events and such pretty easily, and we are still making a small profit, since each person who buys a shirt pays almost enough to cover the materials for 2. and i wont print them all, so if worst comes to worst, i'll pay for a few and keep them for future silkscreening projects.
also, if you're getting a shirt, please, please, please try to get your money to me as soon as you can, since i want to order them this weekend, but would rather not pay for $100 of shirts out of my pocket. sorry to be so anal about it, but the goal of a fundraiser is to raise funds, not to make ben be broke.

im insanely tired since i was camping last night. anyway, i just checked my email. (i emailed the guy at the place i was going to order t-shirts from on wednesday.) i still haven't gotten a response. and obviously, i want to get the damn shirts well before the election happens. so if he doesn't get back to me in the next day or 2, i'll find somewhere else to get them. so yeah. sorry everything's taking so long.

You should investigate cafepress.com. You can upload a graphic (or 2 or 3) to set up the shop online. The good news is that it would get PAB merchandise on the streets quickly and there is no cost to the group. The bad news is that PAB would not see any of the profits until the income has reached a certain threshold amount ($50 or $100?). Their shops allow you to market buttons, T-shirts, bumper stickers, and a lot more. I would buy a black T-shirt with a large white PAB logo as soon as I learn that it is available to purchase there.
They set your cost. You set the price to sell the merchandise. You get the difference between the two as profit. They take care of the manufacturing and delivery aspects.
I hope this helps!
Peace, Love, & Piracy! The Dread Pirate Robert

it would be cool to sell the shirts online, but i have neither the time nor the motivation to set it up. plus, i doubt we would reach the $50 profit minimum before we need the money.
dread pirate robert- if you'd like a shirt, just send an email to pabshirts@yahoo.com.

soooooo. i'm gonna finnish printing the shirts tomorrow. (really, i mean it this time.) i've been ridicullously busy up untill this week, and for the last few days i've been nitpicking since i really don't like the way the image looks on the black t-shirts, and most of the shirts we sold are black. but now i feel like an asshole for letting this get so close to the election, so i'm just going to print them. and if you haven't payed me (i.e. everyone who didn't mail order or isn't eric) please do. and if you have a sweatshirt or something you were going to try to get to me, i suggest you do that before the election. because i'm trying to be optimistic and imagine that the shirts will be unnecicary after the election.
