Met with the vendor...

Thanks for doing this for us, Pam and Maria.

You are more than welcome to join us. We have to be at St. Pete at 7:30 so will have to leave about 5 am. I don't know to many girls that are wide awake at that time of the morning.

No thanks... too early for me... I plan on leaving the house around 7...

i just had a BEAUTIFUL lunch....

one tomato...sliced
on top of that, thin slices of fresh mozzarella (i found it in the cheese section, in a container, packed with water...it's a lot softer than regular mozzarella)
sprinkled with dry basil (wanted fresh, but store didn't have it)
drizzled with olive oil.

it felt so gourmet to eat that for lunch at home and not on a cruise or something.

Hey... I had that for lunch too... and lunch was the only good thing about this (yawn) meeting today... now its off to a formal dinner back at SW... the food is always good there... not sure if I'll be back DIS'ing later... depends what kind of trouble we find to keep us busy after dinner...

So do we want to try and do a 2 color logo to keep the costs down?

Mary - I have a picture up on another screen. Brown cone and white ice cream rather than flavors?

Mary - Maria and I talked, and we are not sure 2 color will work on the gray shirts. 2 color works for the bags because we are using the background of the bag (either red or blue) as the base color and then applying the logo over that and the red will come through. Not sure if that makes sense. Anyway, depending on the total number of shirts that are ordered (we are at about 60 right now, I think) if we make it a 3 color logo, it would add about .85 cents per shirt. Would need to determine what colors. With that in mind, if you had a 4th color, it would be about $1.70 per shirt extra. I think we can get away with 3 colors, because she is going to use a dot pattern (shading) and it can change your colors depending on the dot pattern. Very open to suggestions, Maria and I don't want to arbitrarily decide on anything.Thanks

 

[WDWLVR]

I'm up for whatever everyone decides. Anything you want me to put up on the site just let me know.

Thanks to everyone on the pixie dust for the weather in Louisiana. The forecast has changed and now says that there is only a 10% chance of rain. Looks like we'll be catching some beads after all.

Have a wonderful trip and fun at the parade, drive careful too.

That is one of our every night dishes. We love it. The other night I started with a grilled portabello mushroom, topped with wilted spinach, topped with tomato, topped with mozzarella cheese, topped with basil, topped with olive oil, topped with basomic ving. topped with black pepper, italian seasons.

That makes a great side dish.

I'm coming to eat dinner over YOUR house. You are making my mouth water.....MMMmmmmm

 

[TiggerInNY]

Just something else I wanted to add regarding the shirts. We are leaning towards not having anything printed on the back. If we do, that is going to be another charge for another screen and up the price. Mary had a suggestion of putting the ports listed on the back(like a concert T-shirt), but with Coz up in the air, maybe that's not a good idea. Whatever everyone wants to do. I don't mind, I'm going to buy them no matter what they cost.

I think that for under a dollar, the three color would look MUCH better. I vote for that!

I also agree with the front only logo. Don't want it be obnoxious. But then again the 10-day shirts were pretty cool with the cruise map on the back!!


Happy Dance with the TOP and shirts..... Pam, Mary, Maria and everybody else!!

I am with you! I love my shirt from the '04.

[BWVPam]

A Map would look cool on the back. Of course, we would have to know where we are going wouldn't we

 

[BWVPam]

Well I am off for the rest of the night. Need to work on my taxes

 

[WDWLVR]

My vote is to have something on the back. Whether it be the logo, or a map, or the concert type list. If all we have is a small logo on the front that doesn't make much of a statement. With the 10 day shirts everyone knew who we were and that we were all together. Part of it was the color and part of it was the design, especially on the back.


Of course I'll go with what the majority wants.

 

[BWVPam]

Okay - I am not working on taxes after all. I think I left one of my statements at the office.

Is there anyone out there that could come up with something to put on the back. I am just not any good at coming up with any design (no talent).

Mary -- what color were your shirts last time??

I think with going with 3 color on front logo and logo on back of shirts, the price would still be close to $10.00, which I don't think is bad for t-shirts. But again, I don't want to make the call. Hoping for input from everyone

Thanks Mary for your suggestions

 

[BWVPam]

Where are all of our regulars tonight (Oh Stacey, Amanda, Monica, Irene, Maria, Sue, where are you )

 

[mickeymo]

I'm here - playing on popcap games...should be studying...

my input - I'll go with the group decision - (I know not much help....)

Like Mary's thoughts on a design on the back...

what about three interlocking circles as a Mickey sillouette - or would that run into copy right infringement?

 

[mickeymo]

With a concert list - I could just see all of us at port with fabric markers - crossing out ports - or with a map on the back- drawing lines to connect ports...

to Coz or not to Coz that is the question...

 

[mickeymo]

o.k. - feeling

Off to bed...
