I've now been to the t-shirt place and have information on colors and
prices.  

The good news are that we can pick and choose among sizes and colors.
The sizes are M, L, XL, and XXL (but I forgot to check how big XXL
really is; I'll drop by tomorrow and check).  The colors are black,
off-white, red, green, dark blue, yellow, violet.  If we print with a
bright red ink, the only inappropriate shirt color will be red.

The bad news is that it's kinda expensive.

Ten shirts:
(/ (* (+ (* 129 10) 450) 1.23) 10) => 214.01
Twenty shirts:
(/ (* (+ (* 119 20) 450) 1.23) 20) => 174.04
Two hundred shirts:
(/ (* (+ (* 89 200) 450) 1.23) 200) => 112.2375

(In Norwegian crowns.)

So if we go by 10 or 20 shirts, the per-shirt cost (including air mail
shipping to the US and packaging) will be (in USD):

(/ (+ 214.0 65 7) 6.5) => 44.0
(/ (+ 174.0 65 7) 6.5) => 38

*urk*

So I need to know how many are interested.  Send me a note saying
things like "if the price is 38, I'll buy one" or something, and I'll
add it all together and let you know how much it'll cost and you can
start sending me money.

Can we also specify ranges, like "I'll buy if the price is between
32.80 and 36.40?" This will make the calculations much more
interesting. :-)

How is the quality?  Is it soft and thick and comfortable?  Some cheap sweat
shirt in San Francisco is thin like T-shirt (yet, they sell it at price of a
sweat shirt).

I don't think the price is too bad (*not* that I am rich).  Any good quality
college sweart shirt is almost, if not more, as much.  (at least it's true
at UC Berkeley).

If the price is $38, I will buy two.  (Gee, I missed the T-shirt last time,
so this time I won't give this up.....)


Thanks Lars!

I liked the T shirts, so if their quality is any indication, you could
expect the sweat shirts to be soft and thick and comfortable :-)

The shirts are not all that thick, but they have that fluffy and
*very* soft stuff on the inside.  I wonder whether that'll survive the
washing machine.  100% cotton, if I remember correctly.

Jeg kjøper en, uansett pris.  Kan du lage dem med gull skrift på rød
bakgrunn...? :-)

Since you insist, and I'm online :)

I think Steinar intended to send this directly to Lars, and I think the
answer to his question is no :-)
