Location: Central Massachusetts | Hi all,
I've had this in the works for a while and everything finally came together just in time..... I'm happy to introduce:
The official OFC Northwest Gathering 2006 T-Shirt!
Our resident cartoonist, Jas (Captain Lovehandles) was kind enough to depect this realistic Northwestern scene featuring some of local OFC members as members of the Corps of Discovery. Apparently O's and A's were very popular and found many uses on the Oregon Trail!
If you will be attending the shindig on August 19th, please PM or email me your t-shirt size (see below for more information) and I will have a shirt ready for you at the party.
If you will not be attending but still want a shirt, I'd just ask that you cover my cost, which should be about $15 per shirt including shipping. Send me your size and zip code and I'll get back to you with a final price once I know how many shirts are to be printed. Please only do this if you are going to follow through with a purchase as I can't afford to get stuck holding any extras.
Please have your shirt requests to me by Tuesday the 8th so I can get them printed in time for the party.
The above image will be printed about 9-10" in diameter on the front and center of Gilden Ultra Cotton (model 2000) "natural" colored t-shirts. I have reviewed a sample of the shirts with similar printing on them and they are good quality and the printing isn't that nasty type that sticks to your chest. These are unisex shirts, and here's some help for sizing:
Gilden Ultra Cotton (2000) measurements:
S = Chest: 34-36" Length: 28"
M = Chest: 38-40" Length: 29"
L = Chest: 42-44" Length: 30"
XL = Chest: 46-48" Length: 31"
2XL = Chest: 50-52" Length: 32"
3XL = Chest: 54-56" Length: 33"
The length of a T-shirt is measured from the neckline to the bottom hem of the shirt. The width of a t-shirt is measured one inch down from the under arms across the chest. I recommend measuring your favorite tee shirt and comparing it to the size chart for the best fit.
There is a possibility of slight shrinking after the first wash, although all shirts are pre-shrunk, please allow about 1/2 inch loss in the width and one inch in length.
Again, please have your sizes to me by Tuesday the 8th.
And again, a special thanks to Captain Lovehandles!.. he took my concept and ran with it. Without his contribution, this wouldn't be happening!
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! |

Thanks, David, & Cap'n!
I get the 3 guys paddling, but I'm having trouble with the guy in front. Is that supposed to be you, David? |

Of course the lawyer would be singing instead of paddling. |

I hope that's St. Helens in the background and not Hood... otherwise we're paddling upstream on the Columbia. |

Let's just say they took a detour on the Willamette.
Well, I've heard from 3 of the 4 "victims" so far and I still haven't been kicked out of the club. Of course, the last one is a lawyer, so we'll see if I have to sell these on the Martin board to fund my legal defense. |

Very nice. This must be the project you sent me a PM about. I want to get one even though I can't make it. |

If you assume that they are down stream from Portland, the river takes a sharp turn to the Northwest, and viola....it all works out.
Oh...and also assum that they are very lost and heading directly north expecting to beach themselves in Longview at any moment, launching the person who should not be standing in the bow of a canoe saluting, into the miry mud flats, sinking up to his waist.
But fear not....by strapping an ovation to each foot, he easily walk atop the mud (and even water) back to the canoe to continue their journey to.....Well....southern California if they don't turn around. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Captain,
It's an odd thing to have someone do a Character Drawing of you. I keep looking at the rendering and thinking overly critical about what features are "me". I keep thinking that my brother looks like that but not me. I know I'm kidding myself since we are twins born four years apart.
I have to say that the Captain has some talent! To make observations and put them on paper is a gift.
A few years back I supervised a Planning Office and it would be common to hear an occasional impression being done of one of the Shop Supervisors or Managers. Either by using a key phrase or patented line you could vent frustrations by "doing" someone.
Since we had a fairly open office relationship (Us against Management mostly) I cornered the lead impersonator one day and asked him to "do" me (potential cheap shot noted). "What sayings or manerisms do you I have that get repeated?"
He was either gutless or I have no personality...
My Daughters on the other hand had no problem providing feedback about what one of my lectures sound like... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | As I was trying to figure out how the guy with lots of black hair looked like me my daughter walks up and points to the guy in the back and says, "That's you. That's your forehead." That's why I don't recognize me when I look in the mirror. If I sing on the 19th, I probably won't ever listen to a recording. I prefer to sound and look better in my imagination. |

Oh, but thanks for the "greying" part. I get "white" a lot. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Mark, I wanted to use that one, but I think it got lost in Dave's website reorg.. I couldn't find it. Not sure which one Jas ended up using... maybe from your gallery. We'll have to line you all up at the party and vote for the best caricature.
I'm up to 22 shirts including ones I'm printing up for John, Kim, and Rick at the mothership. I shot them notes to get sizes, but will they get the email if the factory is still taking a break? Anybody who can get me sizes for them, I'd appreciate it.
I haven't heard from the following people who have RSVP'd for the party but haven't let me know their size:
Mark's daughter
fillhixx
JeffreyD
Waskel
briwilt
tdeej
seesquare
stonebobbo
fatveg
Alaskan Fly Guy
72tour
If you're still planning on coming, I'm still planning on giving you a shirt, so don't sweat the $$$. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Hey, all, the shirts are printed and ready for me to pick up, but I'm going away for the weekend. Next Tuesday I will send a note to each of you who ordered one with my info for payment. The final price will be $15 if I'm shipping the shirt to you, or $10 for extra shirts you'll be picking up at the party.
I managed to slip in one straggler, and with that I printed a total of 34 shirts. Very cool. |
