It ain't what you know, it's what you know that ain't so. I'm trying to test

I'd be interested - whether I could afford one this minute, what with
shipping costs to the UK, I don't know.

Another interested party - particularly if you could get them done
before Bucconeer (and that would take care of Liz's concern - rather
than shipping it to England, she could pick it up at the con.)

Me coming to the con is _really_ doubtful at the moment... but I'm
sure friends of mine will be going and could pick it up for me. (Neat
idea, Amy - hadn't thought of it. I really _want_ one, the more I

This is the way I do almost everything here at SFF Net: If I'm convinced an
idea has merit, I calculate the risk and invest the money I could afford to
lose if everything goes south. If the idea pans out and pays for itself but
no more, great. If it pays for itself plus a little, that extra goes into
expanding the idea.
Since all of SFF Net -- the servers, the lines, the software, the books, the
advertising, contractor fees, etc., etc., -- comes directly out of my pocket,
I like to find a balance between squashing the potential and limiting the
risk. Growth is sometimes slow, but I think overall we're doing pretty well
using this method.
A shorter answer: If the first batch sells out, sure. Polos and hats are on
the list for later, too.
I might be able to squeeze the 3X into the first batch. I'll see what the
cost will be.

It's definitely worth it to get high-quality tees. "Beefy-T"'s are good.

Yup. I would be interested in a couple, at the large end of the range,
with a preference for ash.

I once worked on a conference whose logo looked something like a bullseye.
Imagine the logo on a pocket tee and then on a fairly well-endowed female.

These things always depend on cash-flow, but I'd certainly buy one (or
maybe more) if I could get them to fit. Unfortunately, a XXL will
proably fit, only barely, and only until it shrinks in the first
washing. but at 6'6" and 300+ pounds, XXXL is a practical minimum,
and XXLT is even better. I don't mind paying a (reasonable) extra
charge if I can get one. And as I always remind tee-shirt people, us
Godzilla-sized people make make much better walking billboards than
those pesky "mediums." <G>

Tom, I haven't seen the 3X Tees, so I can't say for sure if the neck is a
weird size. However, they're Hanes "Beefy-T" shirts, and you can probably
find out by poking around the Internet or a store.
At any rate, if you decide to order some, order soon. There's only a couple
of the 3Xs left!
(Yes, I'm already planning a second order.)

>(Yes, I'm already planning a second order.)
On a hunch I just checked my laundry hamper, and sure enough, my
DYNAMIX shirt is a Hanes Beefy-T XXXL. It's still long enough for me
after many washings, and the neck is big enough for me, and I probably
have an 18" neck. Should fit most anyone short of Godzilla or NBA
All-Stars.
