E-mail me your order at ElJay @ hotmail.com without, of course, the spaces.
If you will be attending KamaCon I will bring your t-shirt along and you may pay me there. If you will not be attending you may mail me a check or money order for the cost of the shirt(s) plus shipping and I will mail you the shirt. Shipping will be from the 55406 USA zip code... I'll weigh a t-shirt tomorrow and post the weight, so we can estimate shipping.
I don't have a long-sleeved Kiss Me option up, I'll pop one up probably tomorrow. And if any men want that shirt let me know and I'll quote you a price.
In order to get the shirts done in time for KamaCon, I'd like to get orders in by July 16th... that gives you two weeks to make up your mind.
Am I missing anything? Let me know...
Oh! And that's a brand-new hotmail account set up just for this, hasn't received a single e-mail yet. So if it bounces, I'm sorry... post and I'll get it fixed.
(Prices are based on us getting a certain, reasonable number of orders. If for some reason we do not meet that number and I can't get the shirts for those prices, I will e-mail everyone who ordered and let them know what actual cost will be and give you a chance to back out

Did I miss the design?
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Okay - am I reading this right? The top five styles are for the KamaCon-Prove Your Existence design, and just the bottom (last) one is for the "Kiss Me" design. Right?
Farmgirl
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Am I still getting one for free?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Pooka, there's a link to the design at the top of the shirt styles page, or look here for the KamaCon design:
Farmgirl, many, many people expressed opinions on what they wanted for the KamaCon shirt, and I tried to put up a choice for everyone. Just about no one said anything about the Kiss Me one. Frankly, though, you can have either design on any of the shirts, but the Kiss Me one will probably be more expensive because there will probably be less people ordering it, so we'll have to split the set up fees between less people. The numbers are based on the assumption we'll get orders for 30 KamaCon shirts and 15 Kiss Me shirts. With the interest expressed in april, that seemed reasonable.
Kama, Yes. As long as I get orders for enough shirts, you and Taalcon each get a free one. If there's fewer orders, you two get yours discounted. If there's way more orders and I end up with extra $$ over what I spend, it goes towards the hospitality room at KamaCon.
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Sent mine.
On second thoughts, do you know what exactly the sizes are in inches, or better yet, in cm?
Cause I usually have the S size, but sometimes S is too small and I need M.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
I can't find measurements on-line for these exact shirts, but I found them for other ribbed shirts from the same manufacturer... they list the width for the shirts as S 14", M 15.5", L 17", XL 18.5". That's my best guess for the women's ribbed shirts.
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Okay, thanks.
I guess S will be okay.
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
LJ, LJ, LJ! I wasn't expressing any type of disappointment! Not at all! Sorry if you took it that way.
I was just trying to make sure I was reading the page right!
I am in favor of the KamaCon over the Kiss Me one, but I just wanted to make sure I understood the choices.
FG
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
I'm not that thin-skinned, Farmgirl. I didn't take it as criticism, just wanted to give an explination for why there were lots of choices for the one and not the other.
I keep forgetting to bring my kitchen scale up so I can weight a T-shirt... maybe next trip.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Does your supplier have a size-equivalent chart somewhere? Because in my experience a woman's 2X can be anything from a 18-20 to a 22-24. I don't even have any guess as to what a man's 2X would be.
If you don't know, I'll just take my best guess. Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Rivka, the actual brand of shirt is Anvil. My guy doesn't have a size chart posted, but I'll poke around on the net later and look... for now, I am going to a picnic. Happy 4th, everyone!

Sorry this turned into a hassle for you. I was put in charge of a retirement gift purchase and so far it's been no problem. I haven't collected any money yet, so...no problem.
it could embarrassing in a couple weeks when we show up with no gift.
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
Stupid question: Is the printing on the front or the back? Sadly, this will affect which style I order.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
It's not a hassle, I'm just a worry-wort. Hasn't Dana showed you our paranoid side yet? But you guys have all made me feel much better, thanks.
I was planning on putting the printing on the front. But I don't think it matters so much, my printer is very flexible. If you'd prefer yours on the back, I'm sure that's possible. If he won't do it, I'll let you know and give you a chance to change styles.
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Order sent. But G-Mail seems to be kind of hanging up this morning, so let me know if you haven't received my e-mail soon, ElJay, and I'll send it again from my other e-mail account.
Farmgirl
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Got it, Farmgirl... 14 orders total at this point, some of them for multiple shirts, so I'm feeling better, although we're not at my pricing estimate yet. But plenty of time to go.
I hafta go to work now, I'll respond to those of you who need my mailing addy when I get home tonight.
Oh, and Dana, Bob says he loves you. Thought you should know.

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
Seriously, doesn't it sound like the letters should crack off or something?
Oh, and what possibility would there be for the Prove your Existence on the capsleeved one?
[ July 07, 2004, 02:45 PM: Message edited by: PSI Teleport ]
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Hmmmm. I can't imagine the company would have ribbed shirts in their catalog if you couldn't print on them. I'll ask, though, if you like.
The problem with getting the KamaCon design on the cap sleeved shirt is that we can use any shirts we want as long as we use the same color of printing. The KamaCon design will be printed in white, and the cap sleeve shirt only comes in pastels, so I don't think that would work very well.

Space Opera, of course you can still order. I will happily ship.
We're up to orders from 17 people... I still haven't totalled them out to find out how many actual shirts. I need to make a spreadsheet. But it's been a beautiful Saturday, and I've been landscaping. Perhaps it will rain tomorrow. Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Just a reminder, I'd like orders in by this Friday! I'll compile the list over the weekend and post who I have orders from, so I can be sure I don't miss anyone.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Update:
I just heard from the printer. We didn't make the price point I was aiming for, plus I forgot to figure for tax, so the shirts are going to be a little more then estimated. He just gave me the total over the phone (I'm at work still) and is e-mailing me the by-type-of-shirt breakdown at home.
I'll e-mail everyone who ordered with what their actual shirts cost by the end of the weekend. From the total amount I'm guessing it'll be about $3 more per shirt. If this is a problem for anyone, please let me know, I can still modify the order.
I'm sorry, all... didn't intend a bait-and-switch on you. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
El Jay, thanks again for doing this! You absolutely warned us that the prices were estimates, and based on a specific order size. Don't worry about it. Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Sorry, Zevlag, it is completely too late to get a shirt. The printer doesn't keep much inventory on hand, he orders it from the distributors as needed, and the order has already gone in. Anything added now wouldn't get here before he does the printing, so it would cost an whole new set-up fee and everything.
Also: To the 4 people who ordered size Small Kiss Me shirts... small was backordered, but he said mediums and smalls are very, very close in that shirt style, and recommended we just get mediums. I did that... if they are too big, they will shrink a little if you wash them in hot water. (All the shirts are preshrunk, but will shirnk a little more if you try.)

So, I got all the prices added up with the per shirt estimate the printer gave me, and it totals out being about $40 more than the payment-in-full I gave him last week. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to wait until I get the actual invoice from him when he delivers the shirts to figure out what the final cost is.
Rough estimates: $2 - $3 over initial estimate, including the $.50 bump to give Kama and Taalcon a free shirt.
He promised they'd be done in time, but said that means he'll either be delivering them to my house Thursday night or Friday morning before 8:00 AM, which is when Ryuko and I are leaving. *grin* So, if I'm organized and packed and he delivers them Thursday night, you might get an e-mail with your total at that point. Otherwise, those of you at the Con will get your total then, and everyone else will get an e-mail when I return.
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

$40 more for the entire order isn't quite as bad...

Posted by SoberTillNoon (Member # 6170) on :
Would it be wrong to get a shirt even if I did not go?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
BannaOJ - It isn't even $40 more for the order, I wasn't clear. If I collected the amount that he told me each shirt would cost, I'd end up with $40 more than I spent for the entire order. So the prices have got to be LESS than what he e-mailed me.
Sober, it wouldn't be wrong, but it would be too late. The deadline for ordering shirts was last month. Sorry.
