News of the Shirts

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

I've got them.  Oodles and oodles of them.  And they look just like
the design did!  I can't believe it!  The X-Face pixels look as
blocky on cotton as they do on LCD!  :-)

So I'm packing, packing, packing today, and sending them off
tomorrow.

And four episodes of Buffy later, they were all packed and shipped

By the way, I've been snooping around a bit more for alternative
payment methods for (possible) future sales.  It looks like WorldPay
would be an option -- the prices aren't too high, and the service
looks quite nice.

Does anybody have any experiences with WorldPay?  It looks like a
reputable setup -- it's owned by the Bank of Scotland, even.

Really just a "me too!", but at work we've used WorldPay for quite a
while to receive payments from customers and have never had much trouble
with them.

I guess all I can offer is the peace of mind of knowing that you're not
the only person in the world using them ;o)

Cheers,

Mark

I've used them from the client side of things.  Once.  But I didn't
have a problems.

I received mine too. (I expected it to take at least a week. ;)
I didn't find a sticker. Luckily I was curious enought to rip open the
plastic from address label and found the Gnus tattoo.

two tattoos... thank you!

I went and frightened the locals with it on a long country walk last
night. I'd hoped the deputy head of Jodrell Bank would be joining us
but he didn't make it

Oh. So it's a tattoo, silly me! Have to give it a try, but where to put
it?

The shirts have arrived in Champaign, Illinois, in the prairies of
central North America.  Who's closest to Norway's antipode?

interest in that..

I'm going to do a sell-by-hand thing in Oslo, er, later this month, I
guess.  After that, I'll sell off whatever's left via mail order...

They showed up on the west coast of USA (Santa Barbara CA) on
June 13 too.
Those Beefy tees are nice and heavy.

Did I miss a story behind the cool looking little emblem thingy on
the front?

Just a suggestion for future operations....  Having a choice of Tees
with a pocket would be nice.  Any body past 50 will really miss a
place to stash those store bought cheaters.

That'd be more of a golf shirt, wouldn't it?

They've been called pocket tees here in the US since I was teenager.
(40 years ago).  They look just like regular tees but have pocket
on left side, breast level.  Beefy Tees makes them, as do many other
tee shirt makers.
