It wasn't clear to me from IRC this morning if Arnulf had the $1000
yourself, or he was speaking ex cathedra for the board... Arnulf, can
you please clarify?
If someone can be designated fashionista, I'll coordinate the thing on
this end. I have the fashion sense of the average engineer, so I'll not
want to pick shirt styles, etc.

They shouldn't cost that much, unless you're only getting a
handful. We
ordered 250, very nice american apparel ones, for about $8
each. $10 a
piece for a rush order.I personally don't like polo shirts with branding logos on
them, I much
prefer a nice fitting t-shirt that prominently features the logo, not
super big but more than just the size of some polo horse.
But that may
just be me...Chris
