so this rad girl, pott, has some awesome tshirt ideas. it would be awesome if we could combine her ideas and turn them into 134 shirts... in fact, she seems to be down with this idea.
where do we go from here? i'm not really sure how to excute, etc?

Well, there are two ways to go with this. Acme Jim has contacts for inexpensive shirts and I believe has his own screen press machine. He could mock up everything and print the shirts. That's where the batch of Section 8 shirts came from this season.
Or if you want to be more independent, there are a few screen printing shops around the City. You just call them up, see how they would need you to submit the art and get a quote. Obviously a smaller run would cost more so you'd have to decide how much your willing to invest. I like my Windy City Rollers t-shirt and they were made by a shop in the city. Maybe they'd be willing to cut a discount because of the WCR-CRS connection. Maybe they want to be in the CRS business?

thanks! i know about cafepress.com, though i've never worked with them personally. i'm going to email ben & tom of s8 to see what they recommend on everything including our budget... etc etc if you're friends with me on facebook, pott tagged me in some of her tshirt ideas here: www.facebook.com/nikhak?v=photosi can try to save them and post them here later as well.
