Been thinking about that for a while. I wish there was an easy way to just design/order it online like we did for the Texas Two Step shirts. Actually, I might use that design for this years shirts.

I think I'll post a link in here in case anyone else wants to buy them, at cost of course.

    I don't know... I don't know if Allison is going to want to do another dedication to Kelli or not.

    I could rig up a couple different ones. One with a dedication, for those that want that, and some without for those that don't.

    Re: ~*~*~*~ Texas 2010 ~*~*~*~

    The problem I'm having is that the white part of the flag seems to disappear on a white shirt. I can't remember if that was a problem last year or not. We did them on white and I don't remember it being an issue.

    The dark grey looks fucking sharp but the base price on it is $22.95. Fuck that. The value white shirt is $12.95.

    I have a good friend who owns a sign shop . . . I can put in a request. They bum beer off of me all the time anyway.

    Matthew, that looks sweet! I like the grey. Maybe a white shirt would look better if there's a shadow behind the flag? Idk. Just throwing out ideas.

    Silentx. Good deal! See what they can possibly do. If it look cool and is affordable, I'll buy one!

    Here's a white version. I added a thin black line to the top of the flag, and that seems to help it stand out from the white back ground.

    Bring on some ideas for the back!

    Can you try one with the FD in white?

    How about a state of Texas with a FD on the back... Kinda tiny, like 5"x5" just below the neck.

    Then below that: "CDB Tailgaters"

    I like that on the back.

    I can't find a white firedancer pic. If you can get one, send it to me and I'll see what it looks like on there.

    ^ I found a firedancer outline and that looks white until you put it on the blue. It keeps reading it as clear so all you see is the background color.

    Re: ~*~*~*~ Texas 2010 ~*~*~*~

    Just put in my requests for the Woodlands show. Because I'll be about 5 to 10 rows back then normal, I decided to put in a request for 4 so we coudl sit with some friends; interesting to see how much further back (relatively) that'll put out seats.

    The plan was going to hit SPAC for the first time this year like you guys, but when the dates came out my wife reminded me we have a cruise in late May with relatives from Europe who'll be in town until the 5th...if only that show was one weekend later. So our early show is going to be Deer Creek, where we can visit a friend - I've been there before, so this might be my first year ever without a new venue. Also going back home to Cali for 2 of those shows; with the Woodlands 3 weeks later, my shows are spread out nicely, but I would love to find something in July.

    I'm trying to figure out the white on white issue... Thin black line seems easiest. They're not going to print white ink on a white shirt at all I bet. Gonna need an outline of some sort.

    Fuck, how about a burnt orange shirt!?

    Lee. Last year a first year acct that normally pulls pit row 3, landed dead center row G with the 4 ticket limit implementation.

    This year, making the pit random... Could yield Row G back to Row L or M I'm guessing. Guess we just have to wait and see.

    Seniority is slowly getting eliminated.

    So that's like a 10 row penalty for requesting 4?

    Wh told me there was no penalty for requesting 4. But other more senior members requesting 4 will push you back further.

    With a full pit, this year could be further back. Like midway to the foh pit, I'm thinking.

    I'm working on photoshop to try and just basically cut out a firedancer from the blue on the side. Been drinking all day so I'm not doing very well so far.


    I actually fucking thought of a burnt orange shirt, but the only one they have on that site has some issue (same with some other shirts) where the white on the flag becomes the color of the background (again, reading it as clear). Really fucking annoying.

    is there another website to do this? it'd be cool if we could get some actual screen prints done, but the set up fee alone would be ridiculous just for a dozen or so shirts. last year's kinda faded real quick.

    The guy who kept my brother's t-shirt label going after he passed offered last year to hook me up with the shirts (I wanna say he could get screen printed stuff) but I didn't get in touch with him till last minute. If not screen printed, they're at least quality. That shirt I wore to a bunch of shows that's the mock of the Marlboro Menthol pack (one of my brother's designs) was made by his "people". I've had it for a couple years and it still looks fresh.

    I'll email him tomorrow and see if he can help out.

    I was in the last row of pit for 07 & 08, wasn't at Woodlands last year, so I am thinking we'll be 6 to 7 rows behind the pit, with the GA seating, if all goes to plan.

    Then we were the drunk asses just in front of you and in front of boyd.

    i rechecked my info file from last year's tape, and we were actually Row C Dead Center. so, we got bumped about 5-6 rows last year due to the 4 ticket limit.

    so, maybe this year we'll be Row G (hopefully center) if all goes well. still, not bad i guess, but not the reserved seat in the pit as of years past.

    Got the texas outline with a firedancer for the back. I'm thinking maybe some lyrics below that. Need some fun/party lyrics... maybe something off BW.

    Okay, got some photoshop help from some Ants and got the firedancer white (I think it looks a LOT better), so here's what we have so far.

    Front and back. The lyrics on the back are just a thought, and are on there to give you an idea of what it'd look like with words.

    Let me know what you think.
