After a six-week process, I’m happy to announce that we have a winner for our first ever T-shirt open call. That winner is Kyle Nichols (Vigafre), whose Starburst design pleased crew and fans alike to net him a design buyout, and us an awesome new shirt … which I’m also happy to announce you can pre-order right now over on the LoadingReadyRun store. While we normally offer only one colour variation for the ink on our shirts, we’ve opted to offer two versions this time, so keep in mind when you order that you will have to choose both a shirt colour and an ink colour.
As of today, you have 26 days to pre-order this shirt. Assuming it gets 50 pre-orders, we’ll print a run, and ship shirts out to everyone who ordered them. If not, we’ll refund everyone’s money and try a different design. Pre-orders also get a free starburst button to compliment the shirt, which you can see over on the store page.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated in the open call, it’s been a wild ride.
In other exciting news, the long-in-process commodoreHUSTLE DVD is complete, and being printed as we speak. We’ve decided to open up orders for this as well, with the caveat that we will not be shipping them until after PAX, when the Starburst pre-order closes. We are primarily opening orders early to allow folks who pre-order the new shirt to combine shipping, though that shouldn’t stop you from ordering one now, even if you don’t want the shirt … you’ll just have to wait a couple weeks until we have them available to ship out. The Hustle DVD includes all eleven episodes, the epilogue, commentaries, bloopers and bonus features.
Both these items have been a while in coming, and it’s great to be able to finally get them out to all of you :).
I’m Kyle, BTW.
Also, thrice again, thanks for the opportunity!

I’m surprised the shirt got billing over the DVD. ‘Cause I’m all up ons that DVD, man.

@Jim We’ll give the Hustle DVDs a big push again when they actually get to the Moonbase and we can start fulfilling orders on them ;).

Is the grey shirt the “gym shirt” speckled grey, or it like a solid silver?

Preordered the shirt, figured that since I did quite a bit of shouting

Preordered the shirt, figure that since I did quite a bit of shouting for the Starburst I should put my money up quickly.

@Walcott We’ve been unhappy with oatmeal grey in the past, so our plan is to go solid.

Congratulations, Vigafre.

@Walcott- What Jer said. It’s the Gildan “Charcoal” colour, which is a dark grey. I wouldn’t call it a silver.

@Graham & Jer, thanks for the info. Will be ordering shortly!

Yo, about them cHustle DVD’s, can you hook a former president up? I don’t have any money and cHustle is my favorite part of LRR(excluding ISC and a few select videos)

Thanks for including the size charts on the t-shirt page, they’re really helpful. I love the design and I love Hustle, so I’m probabloy going for both of these.

Preordered both… Pretty sure if it weren’t for this site my credit card would go to waste, haha!
