This year is going to be a busy year for me, in terms of trips. By the end, I'll likely have no vacation days left, but that's ok, because I'll actually have gone on vacation!

In August, nitasee is coming out and we're going to go to Otakon in Baltimore and then she will stay with me for a few more days of evil fun. In September, I'm hopping on up to the Toronto, Canada area for my cousin's wedding.

The newest development is a trip I've just organized for late October. gregl has come out to visit me a couple times in various locations (Berkeley, school) and I haven't seen him in a while, so I figured I would fly out to visit him. And then I got this crazy idea of visiting some West Coast folks and he decided he wouldn't mind coming along, too! :o So, after a few days hanging out with him, we'll start driving south, stopping in Oregon to meet gbeans and then in the Bay Area to meet dnaltews, japolo, c0rtana, Nyiri, and guyver3. West Coast Tour!

And thus, the alessar spawned the idea of making West Coast Tour t-shirts! Here's what I have so far.

These are just small versions of the actual image.

Now I just need to get them made. But I'm not sure how to go about that. A couple popular online options are Cafe Press and Zazzle, but I'm not too sure about the quality of them. japolo has an aversion to Cafe Press due to friends being unhappy with their products. Zazzle I've only seen online opinions of and it boils down to "if you get your stuff it's amazing, if you don't, good luck with support." I'm thinking it's a "your mileage may vary" situation for both, as with most things. Screen printing is extremely expensive. I would make my own iron ons but I don't have a printer that will print to it with the colors.

Anyone have suggestions? I prefer places with online sites I can look at for price ideas. Well, that and I don't like talking to people. ;)
