Finally getting to work on preparations for the big Houston parade. We're leaving in a month and I have so much to do! Ack!
Of course I have to do something fun first: setting up my Cafe Press shop to sell Undersea Mah Jongg shirts! I wanted to make T-shirts for everyone who's going to be riding in the car during the parade as sort of "Team UMJ" souvenirs. (And thank goodness my friends Peggy and Chris don't read my web journal, so I can write about it without spoiling the surprise.) I got a woman's T for Peggy, a baby doll T for myself, Georg wanted a yellow T, and he persuaded me that white T-shirts are lame so I got the grey one for Chris.
I did a bigger design on the men's shirts than the womens and the baby doll, and then the yellow shirt required different colors. Also I had to set up a whole different shop for the yellow shirt because that's a "premium" product. Georg offered to pay the premium fee so he could have the yellow shirt, but they have a free 15 day trial period, so that worked out fine.
I was going to do this just for us, but Lisa convinced me to post the link so that Under Mah Jongg's legions of fans (ahem) can get their own swag. So if you're interested, most of the shirts are here and the yellow shirt is here. The yellow shirt will go away in two weeks when the free trial expires, unless there's a public outcry to keep it around. But I'll probably post a permanent link to the other shirts on my artcar page.
The prices are all base price, no markup. I don't actually believe anyone but myself is going to want to buy these things. But if anyone does want a shirt with my car's logo on it, I'm certainly not going to make money off them. And if by chance you want some other Cafe Press product with a UMJ imprint, just let me know. It's way easier to set up than I had expected.
