I'm all for these shirts, but does anyone think we should try to come up with something fun/podcast reference/for the shirts? They're cool, but it's pretty much the same shirt as last year.
Forum posts is cool, but just trying to jazz it up a bit. Let me know, we've still got time.
Also, apparently there are too many colors on this one. The jerseys can only have 2 colors per side. So we might have to choose a different shirt.

Is white a color? Asking for a friend.

I just got my velvet britches and black nobleman's lace up boots. These freaking boots are impossible to get on or off. How did anyone get anything done in the middle ages if they were lacing their britches and boots all the time? FTWard wrote: claudiusthefool wrote: Shall I start putting together a Frey outfit? Shit just got real. Proud owner of a gambeson, surcoat and arming cap. Now to find a reasonable price on embroidering a sigil... I'm just sticking with my Manderly outfit from last year. Didn't have time to do a new Frey outfit. I've got the doublet, pants and shoes. Just need some Manderly jewelry/accessories. Open to suggestions.

Well I went to create the group order form for the shirts and it says theres some problem with the design. I've got to call customer service, but has to wait till Monday.
Maybe used too many colors. not sure.

OK, so here's the deal. With the jerseys, since they are 100% polyester you can only have 2 colors per side because of ....science and something about the heat they use to print the colors.
Right now the jerseys have 7 colors on the front and 2 on the back.
The real issue is the APOIAF logo which has all the colors in it.
So we can either pick a different shirt (they said all jerseys are polyester) or make the design black and white which I think will look kind of crappy.
Let me know what you want to do. If we can agree on the design and get everyone to fill out the group order form by April 8th theres still enough time to print and ship them to me before the Con.

I mean, I'd be fine with just going back to t-shirts and just doing a similar shirt to last year's in different color. Or we could switch to a t-shirt and do a different front logo to make it different than last year. Maybe one of the more complicated logos from the fanart page, like the Podcast portrait by vaarsuvius? Or a scene from the art book?
If we stick with the jerseys, I think the crowned skull with earphones would look fine black and white if we lose the shield behind it.

Ok well if it is that much trouble I'm OK with switching back to a shirt (if we can't fix the jersey version to look good). But we should change it up a little bit if it is a shirt, maybe switch the 4 hosts art attached in to replace the lemoncake? There is this House Blackwoody art that always looked awesome. But perhaps if we feel uncomfortable wearing a shirt that could be taken the wrong way, one of these altered versions is appropriate? http://i.imgur.com/ZecYcMH.png

Happy with whatever we decide. Just take my money already.
Thanks for the effort #Greg.

OK, how about this one? It's back to a t-shirt. Same style as last year. We can't go with black because the back image is mostly black. we could always swap the images and have the podcast logo on the back with the manwoody black image on the front. Let me know. Time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking. into the future.

I'm pleased with a grey t shirt to add to the collection.

Ideally, I would want to do the switch of logos: skull artwork to the front, podcast logo to the back. I'm good with it though either way though, and given that front side has more colours it is probably better this way to preserve the full colours for the logo.
Let's get this set up for orders, just one question first: anyway to move the ice and fire convention logo to one of the sleeves?That might look best there in a smaller size.

Do like the idea of switching the images front to back, and the logo on the sleeve is brilliant if possible, was trying to figure out where it should go...
And I NEED a shirt with the cartoon heads <3

I think I tried doing the convention logo on the sleeve on the first year and there was some issue with it. I'll check...

OK, I just spoke with Customink about the shirt designs. And basically it boils down to they CAN do the sleeve print, but they don't have the technology to show us a sample with a sleeve print (strange I know). So what they would like is for us to submit our order and pay for it and when that happens we'll see the final design with the convention logo on the sleeve print. The guy I spoke to is supposed to email me the explanation but just wanted to post this sooner. So this is the design except the convention logo on the back shirt bottom left corner will be on the left sleeve. Only other thing I changed was to add a black border to the lettering on the front, I think it stands out better that way. Let me know if that's cool or you want no border. The pricing as is WITH the sleeve print is: 10 shirts - $40.84 11 shirts - $38.88 12 shirts - $37.23 each additional shirt we order makes the individual price go down by about $1.50. He also said that since the sleeve design won't be reflected in the actual photo that folks see it might be better for one person just to place the order and have people pay them (like we did for Year 2) instead of a group order form like we did last year. I figured we're smart enough to understand that the logo will be on the sleeve even if we don't see it. But if you think its an issue I can just pay and have folks pay me one by one. Hope this all makes sense. And the absolute latest we can submit the order/payment is Friday April 8th for them to arrive to me by Thursday the 21st. So we've gotta do this in the next 4 days.

Hey witless chum are you taking the train? or am I driving? I am not. It wouldn't work well for the return trip for me, for complicated reasons. (ETA) If you need a ride from the train station, I might be able to help out there. Sister is flying in from Canada and we're gonna drive. Shirts look great.

No. Thanks though. I'll just drive it. Just wanted to confirm that Manwoody Express was not happening.
Look forward to seeing you guys there.
I like grey t-shirts.

Looks great let's get orders started asap, up to you how to handle it. I would prefer to pay in person to minimize conversion fees. If we could get some pledges to buy one for ashley that would be nice as well.

OK, since we're short on time lets just do like we did the first year. I'll just pay for the shirts now and everyone can pay me at the Con or through Paypal. Let's give it a few days for folks to say size/quantities/names on back. Post here or email me at claudiusthefool@gmail.com. I emailed Michael (Mordion) and he said he'll probably take a shirt. I'll email Jon & Jasmine. Ask around. Let's try to get answers by Thursday so I can place the order no later than Friday the 8th.

They have been saying on Facebook tickets and rooms remain, so anyone who hasn't pulled the trigger still has time, FYI.

I'm thinking of leaving a day early and staying with my Aunt in Alexandria, VA. It's only about 4 hours away from Pembroke. Will divide the driving up nicely.
Anyone else planning on getting there early?

Anyone else planning on getting there early? I will be there for Thursday evening with KK and whoever else is carpooling with her. I have the same family room with 3 beds then, one attendee is splitting the cost with me to use of the beds for just thursday before he switches rooms, the other is still free if you happen to want to stay on site instead and split cost 3 ways for that night. Not sure how many people are showing up early to make it worth it vs staying with family for free (many volunteers are) and I just saw you want to split the driving up anyway so nevermind, but guess we'll see you earlier on Friday.
