Howdy friends<\/p>\n

Can I get your opinion on something?<\/p>\n

Should we make some of these shirts … or not?<\/p>\n

The design is from a back page from an older issue of HM (HM #124, which I think was the Mar\/Apr 2007 issue. (You might remember it…)<\/p>\n

\"Example<\/a>

Example of "camel" shirt and "green" and "orange" ink imprint (on Adult Small size)<\/p><\/div>\n

The first thing I want to gauge from you is how you like the design. Do you think it\u2019ll sell?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m having second thoughts, myself.<\/p>\n

Further down below is another example, which shows how it would look size-wise on an Adult XL, which is, say 12 shirts out of the 96 we would get made. We don\u2019t get a huge demand for that size these days with all these skinny kids running around, hahah.<\/p>\n

And (at the bottom) is a raw image of the imprint colors on a white background, to possibly give you some perspective on what color ink we\u2019re talking about. By the way, the color of the shirt proposed is \u201ccamel.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, whattya think? Should I rush this through and try to get them delivered to us to sell before Christmas? Or will it be too late by then?<\/p>\n

Thanks for sharing your thoughts\u2026<\/p>\n

Speaking of staying or going… I’ve got mixed feelings at the moment. I have tickets and a photo pass with my name on it for a Kiss concert tonight in Austin. I could be rocking right now, but I’m behind on deadline, so I need to stay here and lay out pages, write, etc. I just finished the “Hard News” section and now I’ll work on some articles.
