- *** PhishNet Shirt Update ***
-
- DATELINE: Boston. Yep, that's right at long last, this coming
- Monday, the 1993 PhishNet Shirt II will be done, hot off the
- presses and ready to roll out! I thank all of you who sent in
- your advance orders, but now that they're here, those of you
- who have been waiting for the real thing can let loose! They
- are still $15 (plus $1 for XXL and plus $2 for out of the US
- delivery), and there are plenty! I convinced the guys at the print
- shop to make an exception and use Haynes Beefy-Ts this time,
- too, so with the possible exception of a few XXLs and Smalls
- (which they'd have to get in and would take even more time),
- they'll be Hayne's Beefy-T quality! Now just keep your fingers
- crossed that it comes of the press right!
-
- (Don't worry - anecdote time, by the way, so get ready - these
- guys do some of the best work in Boston. Even Prime Apparel,
- who do all of Phish's shirts, look up to these guys. I know
- because after seeing the PhishNet shirt in Business Week,
- the guy from Prime tracked me down through John Paluska
- and tried to get me to switch over to him! He said it was just
- his luck that the ONE Phish-related shirt to get in a high-profile
- magazine was the only one he didn't do. But he also said that
- Mirror Image does THE best work in the city, and that even
- going with him would be a step down - he sometimes sends
- his tough stuff to them! So it should all come out ok)
-
- The Deisgn, as mentioned before (and if it hasn't gone into the
- FAQ, it probably should...) is a large, swirling, psycho-colored
- net on the front with the blissed-out phish swimming cooly
- in the middle, at the very hub where it can be sure to catch all
- the action. The words PHISH and NET are above and below the
- net, and (if the screens come out right) are a sort of ripply
- blue watery gradation. The net address is on the back, along with
- the still-secret second image (just to keep y'all wondering).
-
- If you want one (or more... thanks, Dan S.!!!), drop me a line with
- your address and email address printed LEGIBLY, the size you
- want, and a check for $15 (plus whatever other stuff applies) to:
-
- Matt Laurence
- 11 John Poulter Rd.
- Lexington, MA 02173

-
- If someone can set a DEFINITE time and place for the net
- gathering before the New Year's show, let me know, and I
- can hold shirts for anyone who wants to pick them up then.
- But let's get a definite spot first - I don't know that area
- well enough or I'd suggest one myself.
-
- Anyway, order early, order often... I'm computerizing the list
- this year so things should move a little quicker. I hope this one
- is a well received as last year's - my sincerest thanks to
- everyone who helped make the whole venture a success and to
- anyone who's ever worn one to a show... or plans to wear one to
- a show. Let's get the whole net connected!
-
- And look forward to something completely new next year!
