Hey Dan,

That could work, a little short notice both for us and your family...
I might be up for that all the same.

Ah, here we go again. I think that either J.T.S. Moore or the people who own
the rights to his movie would have a VERY large problem with that. That's
all I have to say about it. I've tried to explain on list the rasons why we
should do this above board so I won't repeat it here. Please understand Dan,
I'm not angry about this just passionate. I believe that certain things
should be up to the copyright holders. This is one of them. The guy poured
his heart and soul into this and I would rather have his blessing then to do
it a huge disservice by having a hacked version of it.

Kewl!

Excellent. I'll bring the receipt book.

If you can get local guys to commit that's great. We had a hard time filling
up the speaking track last year. I just wanted to throw this out there as we
had contemplated it. Yes, some do ask for all expenses paid including
airfare. Some don't. I think we were going to get [the speaker] on the cheap
but something fell through on their end.

It's at least worth looking into. You might be surprised who we might be
able to get. Hell Linus is only a few States away...

I am tendering a quote on some embroidered shirts. It will most likely be
$150 right off the bat for digitizing fee to get the artwork to the machine.
We'll see. They are aware we are a non-profit so they might cut us a deal. I
know they do good work too so we'll see. I suspect we may not be able to
convince the masses to let us do it but I thought I would try.

Last year Mahlah and Aaron get some printable T-shirt transfers that we
whipped up but the sheets got messed up and were printed backwards. It's
inexpensive and the quality wasn't bad all things considered. We might be
able to get them done at Kinko's as well and that's pretty cheap. I'd like
to see our booth staff looking spiffy.

Anyhoo, we'll talk more I'm sure.
