Tshirt Update

Tshirt Commentary.

I just got off the phone with Barb at Offworld Designs. She says that, so far, you guys have ordered dern near 150 tshirts, and she wants to thank you all, very much, for your enthusiasm, and your support.

As some of you may know, Offworld Designs does a bunch of their business through science fiction conventions, which, like everything else, have been cancelled for these months, so the work is very welcome.

Keep up the good work, y’all. And thank you.

Here is the tshirt link, for those who might need it.
