HEY! If you want to order a T-Shirt, go to Acid's blog right here!
Let's try this again, but with more being on topic. Offenders will be dealt with swiftly and without mercy.

acid suggested that 64D make t-shirts and have people wear them to promote the site. He said we should use this as a way to generate money, but didn't explicitly say to sell the shirts, so I'm not sure how this would help make money. But that's why he's the marketing genius, and I'm just the guy who keeps spelling genius as genious. Anyway, this is totally not going to happen, but I think a solid coloured crimson 64D logo (we don't really have an official one) would look cool on the front of a black t-shirt. And on the back, written across the upper back in white text, would just be some slogan. There could be a handful of different shirts with different slogans. "Driven by lazyness" "Member ID #2" "Hand coded in front of a live audience" And so on. Basically a collection of "64D memes" (I just heard you grind your teeth and cringe) and sub-banner text (I don't know what it's called). The idea of 64D apparel has been around for like 8 years, but I thought I'd bring this idea up, to see if anyone would actually be interested in a shirt from 64D (I will not make one, but my ego will feel good), and what you think would be cool.
I honestly would buy it. I'd buy it if it were in the 50 to 60 buck range.
nothing more than that though, lolThat'd probably be what it'd be, though we need to consider shipping.
maybe save that for another day then.
procrastination is what 64D is good at after all.Someone put the thing from my banner on a shirt.
SIXTY-FOUR MOTHERFUCKING DIGITSHOLY SHITEveryone would buy it, I'd become a millionaire off the royalties and when someone opens us up a sweatshop in Cambodia I'll shoot the slavedriver in the face and finance a workers' revolution only to see the United States come in Vietnam style to crush the great rebellion in what is now called the stateless territory formerly known as Cambodia. I'll escape though, and spend a few years exiled in Latin America before I'm arrested in Mexico for inciting a riot and assassinated in prison shortly after. People will wear ironic t-shirts with my face on them. Actually, it'd be terrible, don't do that.If you're looking to buy the shirts, look at acid's blog post.
If you're looking to make comments about anything to do with the shirt, post here.I think it's going to cost poor Acid a crap ton of money to ship the shirts outside the US. In Acid's blog, he mentioned $12/shirt, but I think we should all chip in a bit for shipping (maybe $15 total?), to help offset the costs. if Europeans want to add in a little extra for shipping, that'd be great, I guess.If shipping charges get ridiculous, are there any volunteers outside of North America that would be willing to distribute the shirts, if Acid ships the shirts to you? eg there's a few people in the UK, and it'd be cheaper to have Acid ship all the shirts to one person, and have someone ship from there, than to have Acid ship out each of them one by one.That's a good point.
It could still be relatively expensive, because there's not as likely to be enough non-North American orders to qualify for bulk discounts.ooShirts dramatically cuts the cost per shirt when you start to get toward the 20 shirt mark. And shipping is free to me… but then I'll have to ship to you guys. :(
Damn, we hit 17 quick.
So rolf wants a single sided shirt. It makes sense too, because if you're going to wear it around anyone not on 64D, it's kind of embarrassing to have the slogan on the back.
If we hit 30 orders, is it easy to have a single sided and double sided order? I'd actually like to have some non-2 sided shirts as well.I'd also like a black shirt, but I won't get into that. ;)
