I shall email Alex and see if he can get in. An emergency has just come up here and I can't get out. Thanks!

Has anyone thought about printing t-shirts for this, as was done for a previous benefit show?

The image on the flyer would look awesome on a tee - we could ammend it slightly to make it suitable and tasteful for a tee design and more focus on the line up and the imagery.

I know loads of really good places we could get them done at a low price, maybe even cheaper as its for charity - we could ask Neil Dopamine as he prints locally.

For example, say we got 50 tees printed at around £2 a piece, sold them for £10, that's £400 right there. If we want to play it safe we could just do half that amount.

I did think of this cuz it's actually a half-decent design I fluked for a change that would transcribe well to the wearable format, and I have a cheap place that usually does it, BUT: I'm broke, everyone says they'll buy one and then doesn't (I still have a box of the last two gig shirts in the shop that I give away for free) and it's only a week turnaround.

In other news: thanks for the posters Chill - we really need the new version with the Slowdance on though, as they'll pull people, and they're not on the current printed ones.

Also: I have a stack of posters and handouts in the shop, so can someone please nominate themselves to come in tomorrow and take some around the book and record shops of Cardiff/South Wales? I'll be stuck in the shop all afternoon.

Here's Monk with the weather...

Whats the minimum order on the T-shirts, I am willing to donate some money, along with others in order to get them printed, if it means making more money from my donation then it has to be a good idea right?

Yeah I hear that. It is a gamble really.. well if enough people show an interest in the tees and will actually buy them, I don't mind taking care of the printing and selling, and I'll take responsibility for the money. If anyone's interested in this, make it known, and I'll start a thread and we can work out some numbers, if not, no worries.

Yeah initially I was thinking we'd need someone to put the money up front, but as its all going to be such a quick turnaround from the printing to the day of selling, then hopefully we'll make back enough to cover it, and you usually have a couple of weeks within which to clear the invoice. So what I'm saying is, we wouldn't really need the money up front. That's a fine offer though Robert.

[holdfast]

OK, well i wont be in Cardiff until that weekend so can not offer any help otherwise, perhaps you should just go ahead and do the t shirts, surely we can sell 25 or 30?

[R J MacReady]

Yeah I'd like to think we could at least do 25, and that alone is £200 profit.

I'll start a thread tonight.

[R J MacReady]

need to work out if we're doing this tee shirt order so please reply in this thread if you're interested

[jonfromcardiff]

any idea whats gong on about a backline for this? so far i'm the only lozer who's responded to the 'backline' thread in the benefit section.

[Kate G]

Can't make it because I've already bought tickets for something else, but I've donated straight to MSF instead. Sad to miss Diggers

Singer has an abscess in his mouth. Seems like those habits paid off.

Back to five bands again. I'm cheesed off with this now.

[Dubs]

Going to be even more cheesed off if no one can help get the gear to the show! Will be an interesting evening indeed!

[Clarky]

I apologize again for us having to pull out of this, but it's really not something that can be helped or planned for. It was only this evening that I found out myself that he has the abcess
