It's always 5:00 somewhere, so I vote for Happy Hour all the time! Bloody Mary's in the morning, beer in the afternoon, wine in the evenings, sounds like a great weekend to me!

As I said before I have been using these for a few years for my employees and they are great.

The supplier is someone I know for a while, he needs 2 1/2 weeks to make them he already saw the drawings in this thread.

As a group we need to buy a gross or 144.

Let me know if and how you folks wish to proceed.

I like the idea of 2 for $14 better than 1 for $15, and would order many more.
How are we to order?

Yea...That is down around where moosetags live.A very well know local bar for years.Quite a few of my friends go there every now and then.It is the best place to go and meet a really good variety of people.

How does cafepress.com compare to zazzles.com? Seems they were a little cheaper. Maybe not worth it, though since we already have a source at cafepress.com. I'd rather have an a la carte price than lock into a minimum order.

it's 6 to 1/2 dozen, really. we already had stuff ready to go up to cafepress, so i stuck this rally stuff on it. printing on demand is really the way to go. i don't want to do a true screen print set-up for something like this. i have no idea how many people want shirts, nor what size. it would leave someone stuck with a ton of shirts after the event. plus, i want a magnet for my stove. the shirt i spec-ed with cafepress is their mid-grade T-Shirt. they have a cheaper one, but i don't know about you guys... but i REALLY hate the feel of one of those cheap, thin T-Shirts. and by cheaper, we're only talking about a $4 difference anyway.

when you order the shirts, upon checking out you should get a prompt to notify a friend via e-mail (i did). they'll get a $5 off coupon for an order of $20 or more, and so will you. you guys could start a chain e-mail, and everyone saves! ha!

As long as the t-shirts are of decent quality, I don't have a problem with the price, I just don't want a dozen t-shirts and I don't want someone else to get stuck with 60-70 adult large t-shirts either. I don't know what other items we would be ordering since neither the missus or I either one drink coffee and we have the micro/convection oven and aluminum panels on our refridgerator in the Safari so we don't need magnets. But the cafeteria plan makes it easy for those who will want different items or styles. Don't suppose they have long sleeve t-shirts since it will be cooler temps...even for Florida.

[A-Merry-Can]

yep. they have loads of stuff. stickers, cooking aprons, hats, long sleeve stuff, doggie shirts, we could really go crazy on that note. let me add a few more options for the indecisive...

And only in a month.I wonder how big this thing is going to get before the Rally gets here.I think this will call for another one next year for sure.Same time,Same place.Only thing is that we will have the whole area before winter hits

[klattu]

I bet we surprize a lot of people when we all get there...
Want to take lots of photos.

Looking at 2008 too, will try for more days off.
Maybe a caravan to adventure afterwards.
