 Post subject: this is what boyd said about forum shirtsPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2005 10:47 am 
hmm.. i didn't know. I like the idea of having t-shirts available... would have to talk to the powers that be. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings... but it's probably something we'd need to look after centrally - i.e. entities that create brands manage the brand - (the look, the concept, the touch points, commerce). etc. Income streams from entities have to go to the person/persons/creators (in this case, the institution of Eisley) and%'s to the investors that fund support them. Even if there are no profits generated, per se', Starbucks or Panera Bread or The Beatles would be the ones creating ancillary products to market, not their customers. I wish it wasn't so business-like and all, but it is. I'll check into it... but if we want Laughing City T shirts, - we'd probably rip off the my existing design/brand (see above header graphics) to keep it consistent and print them like always, keeping management, business managers and agent in the loop - as well as profit structure... or at least give them the option. It's only right. Perhaps we can sell it at a reduced cost to make it affordable. I'm not [i]the man[i]. But eisley is on a big label; Some aspects of this are pure business... "by the book" so to speak. In all of this, the band is very po'. It's all risk... sweat equity and working hard to hopefully get to survive, keep making music and one day, pay their bills. Right now, I'm the sole breadwinner - when touring stops, so does income stream for even me! It's a miracle that we've even survived up to this point. ha ha... Thanks. sorry for such a long answer. please tell boardies not to see us as T-shirt nazi's. boyd _________________ www.allisongill.net www.myspace.com/silverbugs www.last.fm/users/allisoncostello www.imahuman.tumblr.com www.isitreallysostrange.wordpress.com [i spend too much time on the internet, apparently.]

How about this? We design a forum-approved stencil, and we make our own shirts, ghetto style.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |
