I'm doing the color samples on the shirts

some will be white ink on dark colors like this. Buy several, you need a lifetime supply because we may never reprint them.

T-SHIRTS ARE HERE! The first batch of 65 t-shirts is done and they look amazing. We're very pleased. Best Woodzie T-Shirt yet. This Wednesday Bob the t-shirt printer will do another run but this time all extra larges - this first batch of shirts was heavy in kids sizes and up to men's large. It was kinda of a test batch but they came out perfect. We didn't want to run the special orders and XLs until we knew we had it right. If you need extra large or 2XL then hold on until this coming weekend. We're also getting some ladies shirts this week. BUT if you need kids sizes up to men's large Glenn and I will have a big box full at Riley's tomorrow night and you can come up and be the first kid on the block with one. Sing a song while you're there.

These were done by or buddy Bob and I'm still trying to make the arrangement with him to let those of us who want to meet at his place on Broadway for a big do it ourselves session. Again, we just have to find the time. He has the inks and shirt holder and the flash drier that make it doable. It would be so cool to let the kids pull the squeegee and create their own shirt.

I'm serious, if you want first shot at rummaging through this box of 65 shirts I just threw in the truck of my car then drive up to Riley's sometime in the next six hours. These are the experimental shirts and they're unique.

This is the first time we've ever even come close to getting the shirts early. I'm proud of us. It's been the day before the event every year before this.

If you ordered or are getting ready to order a shirt on the PayPal thing, don't worry we're printing your shirts to size and color this week. Those orders get priority because it's so cool of you to be the first to help us with that. We ran this run to make sure the main run was going to have the image the right size and the right ink in the right color. It's all good, you're going to enjoy them.

we distributed about a dozen shirts at Riley's tonight. Everybody was happy with them, it was great. There was a cajun father and son act with harmonica and upright bass - very cool. We look up and suddenly Glenn was on the standup bass. If you don't come to Riley's on Sunday nights you're really missing out on something very special. It's like poker night with the boys only it's three chord stud instead of five card stud. Try it on for size one Sunday night. Why not?

I can't believe I am going to wear a tie die shirt....The Gods of war will be angry....I just need a feather bearing muse to come into camp and the circle will be complete. John, you had the coolest hodge podge of shirts ever, replete with every color
Imaginable, That first dib box rumage alone was worth the drive, and Jimmies art work is just great! Woodzie shirts are what all the cool kids are wearing, and you DO want to be COOL don't you?

Well, tie-dye is a sort of camouflage. It's just camo for a botanical garden as opposed to a jungle.
The shirts are awesome! If you come to the Woodzie you absolutely have to have a commemorative t-shirt. Everytime I'm wearing one of my previous four out in the world, people always ask about it.

And Riley's certainly was a trip last night! Ridiculous fun!
