I just sent in the order tonight but I am pretty sure I can get you in.
I will let you know. EDIT: You are in Steve but the colors might have to be white, grey, and black.
EDIT: Ok all, order is in with Dan for pricing. When I hear back I will calculate each persons total and PM that info. I will also post up for last call or objections. Sounds like it should be no problem to have the shirts done by SNT.

Sorry, I talked to Dan and the order is in but the artwork that he had was not highres enough. Currently the guy who will be making them has been trying to get in contact with Shahram to get the needed artwork and they will be done shortly after that. I will let all know as soon as I find out. Thanks all for the patience.
Shahram
I ain't got herpes no more.
Just to let everyone know, I contacted the T-shirt guy and emailed him the hi-res pics. I haven't heard back from him, so I'll assume that they were sufficient. Any questions, just PM me.
PS--Hope to meet you bunch of jerks at SnT. I'm prayin' for no drama and no BS that will keep me grounded that weekend.
Cheers!

OK, at long last, here's the scoop on the shirts.
After a couple of months of going back and forth between the silk-screener and Shahram about the logo image format and resolution, the silk-screener got Shahram's files in the right format (thanks again Shahram) but concluded that the logo wouldn't work. The red in the logo was completley drowning out the cruiser image, and the way it was drawn didn't allow for removal of the red, without also removing the Cruiser. That's the way I understand it, anyway.
I was looking into hiring an artist to "fix" the logo so it could be printed, and found that it would raise the price about $2-$3 per shirt , which isn't too bad. However, this weekend my wife got the brilliant idea of taking out the color cartridge from our printer and printing the logo in b&w. Since it was still printing the entire image, minus the color, it worked. Today, the silk-screener scanned in the printed image, and said he'll just add the red during the screening. The only change in the logo is the absence of the "TEQ" which was lost with the red circle.
So, I hope that is satisfactory to everyone. Sorry, I don't have an example of the final image, but it's the same as the one we all voted on, minus the TEQ below the Cruiser. In the interest of time, I've already authorized the printer to proceed. Shirt colors are black, medium gray, and white.
Prices are as follows:
Shirts = $7
Sweatshirts = $27 (I know, steep, but we only ordered 2 or 3 as a group)
I'll be taking them with me to Surf-n-Turf, so you can pay me there. For those not attending S-n-T, I'll give my PayPal account after I get a quote on shipping.
The final shirt order is as follows:

Sweet, I will bring my money to S&T.
Thanks to all who worked on this project!
Thanks Brent, last week I would have said "hell yes, send it over", but I think we have it handled now. I saw the final image printed on paper last night and I think it looks just fine. It is as described above, same as before without the TEQ. I was worried that the font would be screwed up, but it's fine.
I doctored the original logo to reflect the change. This is not the exact image.

Sorry for the absence all, I have been unable to feed my Mud addiction the last few weeks.
Dan you are the man. I am sorry it is working out to be such a hassle for you but your work is very much appreciated. Look forward to getting our colors.
You've been gone? ;p Having a ball reduction?
Are you joining us at Carls on Oso at 5 Mo?
