Title: Audio Nervos T-shirts
Post by: Carlman on November 23, 2010, 10:16:26 AM
I am in the process of designing AudioNervosa t-shirts.  They will be offered in long and short sleeve versions.  If enough people are interested, I will do a run of them.  If not, I will set it up where you can just purchase them 1 at a time online. 

I'm attempting to include our sponsors in the design.  I have not gotten permission or done the design work either.. so bear with me as I work out the details.

My main concern is to get an idea of how many people are interested in having a shirt first.  So far I know of about 5 people.  Any more than that, please post here.

More to come..

Come on folks.  We need to step up and help defray the cost of this nice little niche of the internet.

1 of each long and short - XXL

I'll take one, size large.   twss 

I personally would rather not have sponsor ads on the T shirt.

Cool, glad to see some enthusiasm!

I was thinking if we got a lot of sponsors, there would be no donation required to do a t-shirt run.. But that probably will not be the case.  We have a few sponsors lined up but not enough to make a free tshirt.  So, that idea is out for now.

Me for sure if they look cool enough. A few long sleeve versions for me and a couple more for my kids if the sizes are available. Propably adult small will be the smallest? Especially if the sponsors are somehow incorporated into the design :D

I'm thinking of getting them tie-died by a friend who does that sort of thing.. the tie-die effect really blends well with the AN concept and logo.. They'd be similar but different... If anyone is totally against that, let me know.

I like Tie-Dye but prefer monochrome so it isn't to loud...

Cool.. Just thinking it through..
I still haven't gotten a real "aha, that's it" moment on the design(s). 

There is a chance I'll put the shirts up for sale through a 3rd party so it's easier to do.. but I like the old fashioned way too.. so many choices!

Do the rolling papers have to be NOS too?  I hear the highs on the current production papers aren't as clean as with the vintage stuff.  :rofl:

Just a quick thought...for a start  :roll:. Maybe some of the more talented members can come up with some ideas.

The Triad group will know the meaning of some of this  :rofl:!

I don't particularly get buzzed by the word "liquid" but like the "ear sex" part.  How about something like -

 "Where Ear Sex Matters!!"

Yeah, I'm with you Charles. If there isn't an "official" slogan for the website then I vote it doesn't really belong on the t-shirt either. And at my age I don't really want sex on my t-shirt, unless I'm sitting on it at the time.  :-P

"Liquid Ear Sex" was a revelation of how good it sounded at mdconnelly's house at a G2G... And I'd like to reserve that praise for true 'aha, that's IT' moments.. exclaiming the 'g-spot' of audio enjoyment if you will.

I like the 'Aural Sex' idea, that's good.   :lol:

I have gotten some help on putting this together so things should get rolling soon.  Not sure how long, what it will take, etc..  The process starts next week.

FYI... Shirts will require a $20 or more donation.  People who have already donated will get a shirt, including the sponsors.  

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement!

Pete, 

'Liquid Ear Sex' came, I believe, from Carl late one night at my place after Shane (HomeTheaterDoc) had replaced all speaker cables and interconnects with JPS Aluminata.   While we all agreed with Carl's comment, I seem to recall blaming Shane for being an extremely high-priced pimp!

We also agreed that the wires were only 1/3 of the reason. The other reasons were the incredible synergy of your system with DNA500 and the Ariel10s. The Oracle source must take it even higher. We'll need another sampling pretty soon.  aa   Can you believe that was almost 2 years ago?!!!

Thanks for the kudos on my play on words, but even I agree with everyone who "voted" for a non-sexual content T-shirt.  My (non-audio) friends and family think the whole high-end stereo/audio nervosa thing is crazy to begin with, so I don't think I want to give any of them any more reason to think I'm even worse than they thought! :shock:

My vote would be for a shirt similar to the outline provided by Steve but just leave out the Ear Sex!

I really like the original, though nearly invisible, slogan form the original AN T-shirt, "Victims by Choice."

Anybody?
Title: Re: Audio Nervos T-shirts
Post by: richidoo on March 22, 2011, 09:12:32 PM
Me too. I like the original design a lot. But it is not loud and fancy to get you noticed, if that's what people want. 
Title: Re: Audio Nervos T-shirts
Post by: tmazz on March 22, 2011, 09:31:56 PM
I have to say I love the "Liquid Ear Sex" thing as a saying that I would toss around with the guys at a G2G, But I don't think it is the kind of thing I would want wear in front of or even show my wife. A number of years back I used a similar type phrase during a phone call with an audio buddy that was unfortunately within earshot of my wife. :roll: I got a half hours "how dare you compare me to a pair of speaker cables" lecture and was in the dog house for the better part of a week.  [-(

Do not want to go back there again.  :duh
Title: Re: Audio Nervos T-shirts
Post by: allenzachary on March 23, 2011, 04:07:57 AM
And it's really not the forum that provides the Aural Sex anyway; it's the music played through primo equipment with synergy.  The forum is just where we talk about it.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions..
MDConnelly is helping hook us up with a local artist to make a nice shirt.  Understated, maybe.. but with some flare.  Mike and I are on the same page of understated but something a little nice.  We're meeting with an artist next week about design ideas, costs, colors, shirt types, etc.

I'm looking for opportunities to spruce up the site a little also.. so the logo may get an update... not sure if the theme will get any minor changes.  I'm not going for a dramatic overhaul, just a little updating.. we're coming up on our 4 year anniversary in May.  I'd like it to be special. :)
