Suz,
Don't "ruin" your BF experience by sitting at a table for even 2 days. Spend
ONE day at most at a table. After that, carry a backpack with as many shirts
as possible in it, and replenish as needed.
I'm sure people will find you if they want a shirt ;-)
Who knows, you may not even need to be at a table for a full day before selling
out anyways.
Since I have no contacts going to BF, I am making an open appeal - I would
REALLY like an XXL or XXXL black shirt (I can take XL if necessary, but really
prefer XXL or larger, I like my shirts loose). I'd REALLY like 2, but if they
are going to sell out quickly, it wouldn't be fair to ask for 2.
Can anyone pick up a shirt for me at cost and mail it to me? I can PayPal
funds before or after (though after would make more sense, in case you can't
get one). If you only have a Premier PayPal account, I will gladly pay the
PayPal fees on the transaction.
If someone can get one for me, please Reply To All, so that if more than one
person replies, we can make sure that only one person is buying one for me, so
that I don't get more shirts "than I should".
I think the above still meets Suz's rule of "Don't buy a *bunch* of shirts to
redistribute.", but if it doesn't, Suz, please say so, thanks.
