I'm in for a shirt. Probably XL, but I'll take an L, too, to be safe. :-)

Well we're 1/3 of the way towards meeting the necessary 12 (smallest order I can get). I'd bet by the time we're ready to finalize the details we'll be past that.

Driving Hamster, how many shirts would you want and what size?

Pat, what size shirt would you be taking and are you bringing any other beer besides Yuengling?

I added some columns to my spread sheet for the shirts.

So far the total is 8 if Blalor and Pat buy two, 6 if they buy one. I'm getting two. I already told Craig to work on the shirt design (front and back). I'm sure it'll be rocking and you guys can veto the design or elements of it.

Update: Here's a quick design. Light colored shirt, large front imprint. No back image. Would y'all like something on the back too?

Let me know what you think of it.

Here's a front and back. I'd love to hear alternate captions for the front instead of Got Beer? I like that but something tells me yall can do better. Amuse me.

If you prefer just a front image and no back that's cool as well. You can see that design in the other post.

You can put me down for a large and I like the design as is. The "got beer" makes sense, once we're all swapping beer.

I see the trend, a serious drinker. I'll keep my eyes open, shouldn't be a problem, though.

I think it should play up the "swap" bit. These are either too wordy or just aren't quite right, but maybe they will get someone else's brain going:

One of mine for one of yours?

Wanna swap?



That's all I've got for now.

I would need 2 Larges.

I think the back design is pretty dead on. I too agree that the front should perhaps have a different phrase under the dragon logo. I will try and think of some suggestions for you.

sypher1078 and jsouz - I don't have you guys on my list of people bringing beer. Did I miss your posts along the way? Let me know if you are participating in the swap meet. Even if you don't plan to and you just want a shirt that's fine. I have you down.

I think "HopSwap" would be perfect. The "S" could be upper or lower case. Nice one Driskill.

Make the S like the MINI S or would that put off our non-S friends?

If HopSwap is chosen then that might be a dandy idea.

I plan no swinging pal.



Oh and as far as sampling the beers goes. None of the participants HAS to provide samples but I will. I'll keep one or two of each variety that I bring chilled in an ice chest. The rest of the beer will be car temperature.

I believe I will also have little cups for sampling. You know those little plastic cups with lids that restaurants put butter in or a sauce in...I have 2000 of them in my storage area. Previous owners left them when they sold us the house in May. They're still sealed and should be perfect.
