30th Anniversary Book - ANNOUNCEMENT!

I sincerely hope that this announcement won't upset anyone, and I very much apologize in advance to anyone who spent extra $ or stress to get their page here before the original deadline. After a bit of thought about it (and after receiving *numerous* emails about the upcoming deadline for pages over the past few days) it has occurred to me that it would make vastly more sense to give the Cure their book at the Coachella event at the end of April. This would accomplish several good things at one time, so please bear with me as I enumerate the most important of them.

1. The Coachella date of April 19th, 2009 is actually much, much closer to the actual 30th Anniversary date of May 8, 1979 (which is the date when Three Imaginary Boys was released) and I believe is what the band are using as their actual official anniversary date. In fact, the Coachella show is just under 3 weeks before this date. Not to mention that it is also extremely close to Robert's 50th birthday.

2. Moving the "delivery" date to the middle of April will not only relieve the pressure of those who wanted to participate but just did not have the time, it will allow for those who haven't yet heard of the book to participate as well.

3. Anyone who felt that their page was "rushed" out has a chance to re-do it if need be, and anyone who was freaking out trying to figure out how to get me their page by the end of next week can relax! :D

At the time that the book project was conceived, the London dates were the only ones that were announced, so that's why the plan to give them the book at the O2 shows started there. However, now that we have a show date which is much closer to the actual anniversary, I think that it makes the most sense to give it to them there. I hope that you will understand my reasoning and most importantly, help me to spread the word about the rescheduling. I appreciate all of your interest and passion about this project, and I think you'll agree that we will end up with a much richer and more comprehensive book by putting it off, even by a mere 60 days.

So that being said, the official new due date for pages is (are you ready for this?) April 15th! Yes, just like the tax due date. 60 days from now is April 15th, so do your taxes, and THEN do your page! And mail it to me so it will get there before the 15th! Anyone who was planning on delivering their page to me in London may still do so! Everyone else, take a deep breath and relax. :D

Teeshirts Update

**************UPDATE 2/13********************

The shirts are in! Pre-orders will go out in the mail tonight! Check out the original teeshirt designs page for updated pics of all of the designs!



********************************************


I wanted to give everyone an update on the teeshirt designs. There have been several setbacks and delays with the printing process. One delay was that I made a slight tweak to my design, based on the initial prototype. The printer has also introduced several delays as well. The good news is that when I did get the prototype, it looked AMAZING and I really cannot wait to get these and start shipping them out! If all goes well, I should be picking them up by Friday at the latest and I promise to get them in the mail just as soon as physically possible once they are in my hands! Thanks so much for your patience, it will be rewarded! Here's a couple of quick snaps of the prototype, showing the design and a detail of the distressed gold foil look, just so you can see how well they are coming along:

Nightmare Tee Shirts - Update 3

Thanks to everyone again for all your great feedback and comments on the shirts. I love that so many people ordered these as gifts for birthdays and the special Cure fans in their lives!

I love to see people enjoying my designs, so if you can, please send me a picture of yourself (or your significant other, friend etc.) wearing it!

Here's the most recent news about the shirts:

The ladies V-Neck shirts (photos of those coming soon!) and the large crew neck tees have been printed, packed and will be in the mail on 10/2!

If you were waiting on a shirt and have NOT yet received an email with your tracking number, please contact me ASAP! As of tonight (10/1), all of the pre-orders have been filled and sent out.

Update - 10/7 All the shirts I had as extras have been taken! But if you didn't get one, and you would like to order one, don't despair! See this blog post for details and scheduling!

Nightmare Teeshirt Update #1

First the good news - the regular crew-neck shirts are done! And they look just fabulous! YAY!

Well, they are mostly done. Actually more than 90% of the regular tee-shirt orders are not only done, they are all packaged up and ready to ship! They will go out on the 23rd. If your order is among them, you'll get an email from Paypal notifying you of the shipping. If you don't get this email, please see below!

And the not so good news -Ladies' V-Necks in black were impossible to find, I actually had to order them in from out of state after trying every available avenue to get them here. Fortunately, they should be here on Tuesday, Sept. 23rd and should be available to ship out by the end of the week. I'm sorry for the delay and hope this doesn't cause anyone any trauma or drama.

Large size shirts - for some unknown reason black tee shirts in Large were really hard to get! (almost as hard as black ladies' v-necks!) So we had to sort of patch together the larges from different stores / brands. I apologize that some of you who ordered a Large teeshirt won't be getting the promised Hanes tagless tee shirts. Since we couldn't find enough Large size shirts, there are a couple of orders to print when we print the ladies v-necks this week (above) and
again, I apologize for any delay. If you just can't stand the thought of wearing a Fruit of the Loom instead of a Hanes teeshirt, please let me know and you can exchange it for a Hanes one when I get the new order printed this week.

If you ordered a regular style crew neck shirt along with a v-neck, your complete order will ship when the v-neck shirts are done printing.

Enough chit chat, just take me to the pictures!!
