So Proud and Happy

Our very own (e:james) has been promoted to Deputy Campaign Manager for the political campaign he's working for. I won't go into too many details in case I say the wrong thing, but definitely congratulate him on his exciting new opportunity and challenge if you see him.

Here's to you, James!

e:strip T-Shirt

Paul and Everyone,

If I organized making t-shirts would anyone be interested?

Either at-cost ($12) or with a markup ($24?) that would go to Paul for ongoing costs.

They could look something like this:

Also, I hope to plan another (e:strip) dinner for July. Stay tuned! Picnic-ish something other other, probably.

metalpeter writes at 06:31:49 11/22/08 - Comment #42507: Going Christmas shopping I was thinking about how someone said that they where going to get a holiday dinner planned then I remembered that you had the idea of the shirts and I was wondering if enough people got interested and I couldn't remember what got decided or if there was a link to a place we could buy them?

tinypliny writes at 02:11:35 06/20/08 - Comment #36298: Only if it's done in Comic Sans.

HEHEHEHE

PS: I thought it was a good idea to chip in with the costs anyway, the T-Shirt would be a bonus. And yes, love the tortoise! Would be awesome in the black and fitted version. I think I shall go in with whatever style lilho recommends.

mrmike writes at 12:02:05 06/20/08 - Comment #36295: I'm with Chico and Janelle. A modest markup to pitch in with site costs. I'm in for a shirt though.

lilho writes at 10:26:05 06/20/08 - Comment #36283: i want but only if they are going to be fitted, i hate big baggy t-shirts...

jim writes at 09:27:03 06/20/08 - Comment #36280: T-Shirt clarification: you'll be able to pick your own colors, sizes, and men/women's style.

I'll set it up through SpreadShirt, which is print on demand. I'm waiting to do more until I get an order from them for another t-shirt I bought, to make sure that they're nicely done.

Since we don't have to order a bunch at once there won't be any hurry or anything getting together a bunch of money, the store could be permanently linked to from the home page.

Paul, I'd love the original vector so that I don't have to recreate it - I just copied this turtle from one of your old journals as a starting point.

Perhaps I could set up the designs, but we should just put it in your name so you get the extra $$$ without having to step through me, Paul? I don't want to be the middle man in this afterwards.

fellyconnelly writes at 07:42:41 06/20/08 - Comment #36275: i'm all over that shirt... i'll pay $20 for one. and I like that blue too!

chico writes at 07:20:47 06/20/08 - Comment #36272: I think the turtle logo is great! I'd be willing to go along with (e:janelle)'s idea of a modest mark-up to raise a few dollars to offset site costs. ($20, tops?)

Here's an idea that would increase the cost of the shirt a little but might be worth it, depending on what you think and what others think: imagine the tag cloud from the front page of the (e:strip) site on the back of the shirt. It would both give a sense of the content and diversity of topics on the site and maybe speak to the curiosity that the uninitiated might have (i.e., "what is e-strip?")

It depends on what the goal of the t-shirt is... if it's just to provide one more bond among us, that's cool, but if we want to increase traffic to the site, you might consider whetting people's appetite a little.

Is that blue intended to be the color of the shirt, or just the background field of the logo?

paul writes at 01:12:46 06/20/08 - Comment #36271: I also have the basra colored one.

paul writes at 01:12:28 06/20/08 - Comment #36270: Jim, I have the original vector for the turtle. I can get it to you.

paul writes at 12:58:23 06/20/08 - Comment #36269: I want a tee-shirt too. I freakin love it. I also think $24 is too much for a tee-shirt then again starting July 1st it will cost me $99/month to run the site and I think that is alot.

janelle writes at 09:39:42 06/19/08 - Comment #36268: I would SO love an estrip t-shirt. The cheap side of me wants them at $12. I think $24 is too much for any t-shirt, even one for a cause. Maybe $18 for a marked up t-shirt. Just my opinion.

metalpeter writes at 08:16:37 06/19/08 - Comment #36265: I admit that a shirt is a good Idea, I have thought of it in the past but only as a thought. Question does any one think that online community should be on the shirt. Two other thoughts animal wise I know there is a reason for the turtle but animal wise I'm into Dragons and Tigers but maybe a Buffalo would be cool also. I might be interested in a shirt I'm sure I would get one of course before I commit I would want to see what it would look like for sure before committing money.

The TRUTH about BARACK OBAMA

There are many things people do not know about BARACK OBAMA. It is every American's PATRIOTIC DUTY to read this message and pass it along to all of their friends and loved ones.

Barack Obama is a PATRIOTIC AMERICAN. He has one HAND over his HEART at all times. He occasionally switches when one arm gets tired, which is almost never because he is STRONG.

Barack Obama wears a FLAG PIN at all times, even in the shower. One time he DROPPED THE PIN down the drain, and he PATRIOTICALLY disassembled his entire plumbing to retrieve it.

Barack Obama says the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE every time he sees an American flag, and he has an American flag in EVERY ROOM in his house. Some days it takes him OVER 45 MINUTES to get out of his house. He also ends every sentence by saying, "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL." On the INTERNET there is video of Obama quietly mouthing the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE in his sleep.

Barack Obama has the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE tattooed on his stomach. It's upside-down, so he can read it while doing sit-ups. He does FIFTY SITUPS every morning, which is the same number as OUR FOUNDING FATHERS did to commemorate our FIFTY STATES.

Barack Obama take his daughters HUNTING every weekend - HUNTING LIBERALS, that is. Liberals are ALWAYS IN SEASON.

Barack Obama is a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. His favorite book is the BIBLE, which he has memorized. His name means HE WHO LOVES JESUS in the ancient language of Aramaic, which is the language JESUS SPOKE before he learned English. He is PROUD that Jesus was an American.

Barack Obama goes to church every morning. He goes to church every afternoon. He goes to church every evening. He is IN CHURCH RIGHT NOW. If elected, he has pledged to build a MEGACHURCH inside AIR FORCE ONE.

Barack Obama's skin is the color of AMERICAN SOIL. His blood is the color of the AMERICAN FLAG. His fingernails are the color of APPLE PIE. He rubs AMERICAN SOIL on his chest every 20 minutes, then cleanses himself with HOLY WATER.

Barack Obama buys only AMERICAN GOODS. His sole possessions are a FORD PICK-UP TRUCK, a GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL, and HALF THE STATE OF MONTANA. He drinks only APPALACHIAN MOONSHINE, eats only FREEDOM FRIES, and travels exclusively by JOHN DEERE TRACTOR.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! SPREAD THE TRUTH ABOUT BARACK OBAMA!!!!!
