Just to let you all know the t-shirt separations are all done, and we will be printing within the next few days. I will post the actual pics of the printed samples when we have them done. Each shirt will have a bar coaster with Doug Horne's info on one side, and Team Tiki Tee's info on the other. Also a neck label will be on the the back neck commemorating the event. Due to lots of requests we will also be doing a girl's shirt with the blowfish from the poster on center chest. They will be black and available on Tanks and V-Neck shirts. The guys is on a chocolate brown color and sizes s-xxl. The price for both will be approx $20. Both shirts are high quality 100% cotton Allstyle shirts with a high weeve so they breath very nicely. We are planning on have Doug selling them with the rest of his goods all weekend. He can even sign the bar coaster if you'd like. I'll keep you posted!

WM Wildsville man Member PALM SPRINGSVILLE Joined: Dec 13, 2007 Posts: 1388	WM Wildsville man Posted posted on Tue, May 6, 2008 11:08 AM Getting Biff and Andy involved with the tee's was a no brainer. When we were first setting up the idea of Tikiville now Tiki Caliente we had a tee guy lined up already. But when Biff invited me to his home and showed me what a fan he was, and what he was able to do I had to make the phone call to change vendors. Biff and Andy are true Tiki Fan's and these are the people we want to support. These first shirts are limited art...........like getting Shag's first print. How can you say no to guy's with a fireplace like this....
