I thought about starting a Kickstarter to pre-order shirts for this. I've ordered shirts and stickers from VGKids. If we want hoodies instead, we'll have to go elsewhere. I could do the design, but I assume there are more leet designers out there.

Maybe talk to CrystalLake. There's some pretty cool stuff by him in the Let's See Your Art thread.

I'm a designer too btw :cool:

If saving on 10 hours of drive time in my jank-mobile makes me a hipster, then so be it

It is expensive to take the ferry, but if you do, good luck! :thumb:

It will probably cost the same as a tank of gas, actually. Plus you get to skip getting shot at in Gary, Indiana! :thumb:

I'll send you guys an email. So far, we're locked in for a date of September 3rd, 2011 which is the first Saturday in September. This should help let the people coming in from out of town get here and let us catch the weekend crowd. I'll be PMing and emailing everyone as soon as I get the venue reserved, which I hope to do this week. :thumb: Then it's finding out about event insurance and figuring out how to promote this.

So glad you guys are onboard, the_necropolitan!

jfrey, do you have any interest in designing the posters?

Fantastic! I'm very much looking forward to playing with northless! It shouldnt be hard to get nick to play if two of his bands are playing the same night!
