Back from Gencon...
I can tell you this...geeks like the word motherfucker on t-shirts.
I sold more of my newest (and most offensive) t-shirt than any other design I or my partner have ever done. This is sort of a bummer because it's only going to encourage me to do more dirty shirts. I'd actually prefer to have a range of sensibilities; super-insider nerdy shirts, silly shirts, cute shirts, and so on...with a couple of offensive shirts.
However, my newest shirt outsold one of my "average" sellers by a ratio of about 8-to-1.
The con was fantastic from top to bottom. I got to see Jami for two days, I sold a buttload of shirts, my new item sold out completely, we got a couple new retailers, I really liked all of Jody's (my business partner) friends and we had a blast.
My only regret was being so pooped on Sunday that I didn't' get to see Biggidy and Knifey.
While I can't possibly post a big Gencon story today, here's what the opening of the doors of the Great Hall looks like on day 1.

So what did the shirt SAY?
Also, you linked to the wrong video. That clip appears to be from the 'Overweight, Balding Men in Shorts' Convention.

I just saw your post Val. It almost made me spit my drink out.
Is that SUPERTROOPERS inspired, or all Val?
Either way, you're right.
