What did the last t-shirt production earn? IIRC, Mary F had a large
hand in it, but whereinheck is she, anyway? Anyone else involved in
the last one?

Maybe we could set a deadline for orders and have a, uh, "picnic-in"
(thus not doing the usual elaborate, time consuming stuff we usually
do at cookins) and invite all the SoCal foodies to help physically
pack the t-shirts for shipping. Heck, I'd donate my place to host it.

I vote with Victor. Also, are we talking about doing the "The Chaotic
Kitchen" slogan with fork @ knife again? I always loved that.

An all over print (lots of small logos) would look great on boxer
shorts and pajama pants. In fact if people want a bigger logo - why
not make it a lot of small logos all over T shirt?

Just in case you're keeping count, you can add at least three for me. (I'd
want black, red, and blue; maybe more depending on what colors are
available.)

That's a good point. One color is easiest, but more t-shirts may be sold
if people want a variety of colors.

Most t-shirts don't last that long. The ones do that last will be
stored in a drawer, so unless a person is into collecting for the sake
of collecting "vintage editions" - a date won't mean anything to most
people and it will turn away some (like me).

IMO: The basic design can stay the same, year/location can be added
for specific cookins.

It's a great design, don't mess with success.

Same here. I hate clothes with dates on them, and generally reserve them
for painting and doing other messy chores that are likely to ruin a piece
of clothing. I'll go with whatever the majority wants, but if there's a
date on it, I'll only buy one. Not trying to be difficult, just expressing
my opinion.

Maxine, it was not I who "bailed" you out, it was you who helped me
out, when I stupidly did not order enough for all my friends.
Remember, I groveled and begged for these shirts.

It was mutual. I'm grateful I had them when you needed them, and that
you needed them when I had them.
