Things are falling into place pretty well, but could really use a few more suck... uh, volunteers that don't need to be local.

#1 knows desktop publishing and is willing to get event program ready for printing. We have articles and pix already, so artistic writing capabilities not required.

#2 will find the best deal and order shirts and hats.

We also have a number of musicians, songwriters, comics, and poets here. You know who you are. How about a short show? Consider 'Rusted Longitudinal Blues', 'My Big V8 is Hot for You', Jack Stand Polka'. You get the idea.

I won't shop around because a friend of mine owns a small shirt printing shop in Torrance. SoCal local, high quality, low overhead, Art Center design grad, motorcycle designer, and a car enthusiast ....
I can check pricing if you have # of shirts and if the design is ready for print.

If art is already done, and his prices are acceptable to you then yes.

Isn't Sean the "hat" expert. I will have to see if my friend does this, but I believe he only does silk screen, no embroidery. Is that acceptable?

Is it just me, or is it kinda hard to read? the blinking is really kinda hard on the eyes, I would say... for feedback, non-bashing purposes....

Posted by: Aaron Cox Jan 10 2005, 06:46 PM

hmmm... mine scrolls across the screen. wtf is wrong with yours? if i put it in my sig...you should see it scroll too

Posted by: SLITS Jan 10 2005, 06:49 PM

The twister scrambled his ones and zeros in Simi Valley...............

And personally, I think the scrolling marquee would look great on the tshirts Howie wants so badly.....pink and purple flashing leds...........BYOB (bring your own batteries)

Posted by: Howard Jan 10 2005, 07:26 PM

Thanks, all, but think Carlos is right. Tough on my old eyes..

yeah, but it ain't "smooth" scrolling. the "jumps" make it look like it's blinking. hard to read ...
