THE CRITTERS! WORLD TOUR 2008 t-shirts are available!

But a slight word of CAUTION ...... I still consider these shirts to be PROTOTYPES. I am going to order two shirts today ( Thursday, 07/17/08 ) for myself ....... one dark color (black) and one light color (gold) to test the quality. I am using Zazzle.com instead of CafePress. I have never used Zazzle before but I have heard good things about their quality. Their price is a couple of dollars higher than CafePress would have been, but I liked the shirt options/colors/fonts available better at Zazzle than CafePress. There are a LOT of shirt options available.

There is also a chance that I'll make a few small changes to the concert schedule on the back of the shirts, e.g. start the concert tour in the Critterville Cove Ampitheatre, etc. And I want to check and make sure that the font size on the back of the shirt is acceptable, since I put so many of your concert city suggestions on the shirt back.

That said ......... the shirts are available now via THIS LINK. Order at your own risk :D if you'd like to. I'll report back a.s.a.p. on my "quality control check".

Full disclosure.
It looks like I am going to make 10% profit from each shirt sold.
I tried to set the "markup" at 0%, but Zazzle is forcing a 10% minimum.
This means I'll be raking in a cool $1.70 - $2.20 per shirt sold.
I had promised to make these available "at cost", but I can't do that.
It's more important to me to promote BuffettNews and BN Critters than make a few bucks
(these are great concertwear/phlocking shirts people :D ).

I'll figure out a way to reinvest any profit made back to you folks, maybe a free shirt promotion in some manner.

Sha-Bob, I could care less what you decide to do with the money. I suggest spending it foolishly. :D

dance talent) to phjim to support BN. (Just a thought.)

Keep the change SP!

If you change the schedule, you should add an OBX date and maybe have the Sha-Boobies as an opening act.

Regardless, great to see the shirts in production! 8)

Ummm, I would think that if he was gonna use it to support a web site it might be more properly used to support his own web site.

Sounds reasonable to support them both, but be sure to hold back some for yourself and your extra time....
