LIVEDRUNK jerseys: getting serious

You're in B.C. right? Are there any GST issues for you shipping these
over the border and back for those of us living in the U.S.? If there
are, maybe we could get them sent to Heather, she sends them off all
over the country. What does she get out of it? We all kick in a little
extra and that's how she gets her jersey. She could probably even get
someone here to clean her bicycle for her if she modeled it for them in
person. If you do all the shipping we don't kick in extra for you
because nobody cares if your bicycle is clean and if we want to see what
you look like in the jersey we just have to look in the mirror, except
there will be two of us, as usual.

Okay, here's my thoughts...

I have what seem to be 13 committed orders for a LIVEDRUNK jersey.
That's enough to hit the first good price break. I may be able to sell
a few more to others, but the next magic number would be 30 for
another price cut. Probably not going to make that.

http://www.portlandcyclewear.com/page/page/3163257.htm

Ok, I want one too. I would prefer the embroidered logo. In that case,
I think the second line should be:

-Benjamin Franklin

because the world needs more completely obscure "in" jokes, it makes a
great opening line icebreaker after the ride, and for all we know, maybe
Franklin really did say that at some point in his life.

You're in B.C. right? Are there any GST issues for you shipping these
over the border and back for those of us living in the U.S.? If there
are, maybe we could get them sent to Heather, she sends them off all
over the country. What does she get out of it? We all kick in a little

because nobody cares if your bicycle is clean and if we want to see what
you look like in the jersey we just have to look in the mirror, except
there will be two of us, as usual.

I hadn't thought of the GST issues....

It's worth some consideration, for sure.

Oh right, now I remembered: after talking to the jersey vendor, he said
no problem about shipping out jersey to a bunch of addresses, as long as
he gets to charge shipping (duh!) on each separate address.

So unless anyone finds his shipping costs objectionable, I'd just go
with that option. If you are in geographical proximity to someone on
this group, though, by all means combine the order to save shipping
costs.

I'm around Vancouver, so anyone in the area who wants to get a jersey is
welcome to contact me.

We should still combine the initial order, since I'm pretty sure
Portland's economies of scale go completely out the window if he
actually has to talk to 20 people, especially 20 rbr people.

That's convenient on the shipping. In that case GST won't be an issue.

In other words: never mind.

The only common element will be the LIVEDRUNK logo. Flocked or
embroidered?

Flocking costs $3.50 per jersey, 1 line of text
Embroidery is $12, but we can do 2 lines. Suggestions for a second line
(rec.bicycles.racing? nothing?) encouraged.

I think flocking is probably more authentic, but embroidery has the
advantage of two lines. I sorta like Asher's 2nd line, so I'd vote for
embroidery.

I vote embroidered. Which Asher line: Benjamin Franklin or Stay
Married? I tend to like rec.bicycles.racing but the utterly obscure
Benjamin Franklin is very funny and Americocentric to boot.

Gabe

You know, it hadn't occurred to me that aside from the "marriage is
hell" bromide in "stay married," it's also a subtle jab at Lance!

What, no nominations for...

-It's Millar Time
-This buzz for you
-I can't feel my legs!

&c...

I am going to pretend that in a few days someone collects all the
second-line suggestions and puts them on a survey website.

Dumbass,

It's not like you haven't talked about it repeatedly. But,
I think I was lurking in RBR at the time of the original thread.
I don't know the actual participants IRL (or any RL aftermath,
if there was one).

There are some funny funny threads in the archives. It's a
damn shame Tom Kunich ruined RBR by driving Myerson
away.

Ben

P.S. I think it should just say LIVEDRUNK, nothing else.
Less is more, and all that. One of the reasons the original
Livestrong stuff worked was the minimal design. Also, I
favor embroidered lettering - it doesn't cost much more and
is classier, and I have always aspired to be a classy drunk.

I agree with this, although if everyone else is in favor of more then I'd say go
with Wm. Asher's simple "-Benjamin Franklin" because it's all about the Benjamins.
