Valleyschwag4 Shirts are printed
We just got a note from Anthony at Ape Do Good silk screening saying that our biggest load of shirts are ready for pickup. This means we’re nearly ready to ship Valleyschwag 4. Woohoo! I’ll update everyone here when we have an exact ship date. He also sent some photos showing how the magic happens (shown below with the secret parts blurred out).



We’re also making good progress on the payment system. We should be doing a mass refund for extra payments starting next week. So far we’ve been doing them individually, a tedious but meditative process using Paypal’s surprisingly slow website. If you’re eager to get your refund soon just shoot us an email at support@valleyschwag.com and include the email address you used to subscribe.

Good to hear!
I don’t care about a refund so much as just getting what I have already paid for, so if it’s easier for you guys to just not change me for the next three months, in leu of a refund, that’s fine.

woo tshirts.
Black through?
I agree with Rikostan I wouldn’t mind having credit if it makes it easier for you.

Thanks for the info on your payment preferences. This will help us figure out the exact plan for our changeover.
@adrian
Black is the thing, dude! It matches everything, and if you’re a slob like me and spill food/coffee/engine grease on your shirt every day the black shirt is the only one that survives for more than a few months. Long live the black shirt!
That said, the other 800 shirts are various colors, including blue, white, grey, etc.

One other thing:
Valleywag, the site we stole our name from, is having a Hotties of Web2.0 contest, and your Valleyschwag representitive (uh, me) is neck-and-neck with some businessy dude. This has been the hardest Schwag package to build thus far, and the two bright spots of my week are 1) getting these shirts printed and 2) the prospect of winning the valleywag contest for the team.
Let’s show the people that a guy with a huge mailing list of powerful business people (like George Bush) can be bested by a lowly schwag purveyor.

Hooray!! And thanks for not spoiling who the shirts are from!

Voted! I was going to make some kind of brokeback/walmart comment about the pic they chose to use, but my better judgment got the better of me… for once.
Oh yeah, and Black is the new Black.
