The self-proclaimed “Webmeister” of TheNewsTribune.com, Laura spends her spare time driving on I-5, sifting through estate sales, writing songs about Miss Zeta-Jones and wishing she was somewhere else regardless of where she is. You can reach her at laura.gentry@thenewstribune.com, but it’s in your best interest not to.

Does it say News Tribune anywhere on the shirt?

They don't say Grit City?
Cole Cosgrove @ 17:19 - Friday, January 25th, 2008 Email
That's a good question: All the shirts say GritCity on the front. The shirts we're giving away tonight don't say News Tribune anywhere on them.

But we were told we had to have our URL on future shirts. So we tried to put it in the least obtrusive place possible: We put "blogs.thenewstribune.com/gritcity" up the side of the image in small type.

Here's what it looks when I zoom in on the right side (this is about the actual size as it appears on the shirt):

Proceeds from the sale of the shirts go to which charity? :)

i'm drinking at home, am shirtless, and have someone from tacoma coming into town tonight. it's kind of like being there, except for the damn news announcers freaking out all day about the RAIN! RAIN!!!

Hey, that was a lot of fun! It's strangely reassuring to find that I'm still the shy dork I was as age 7 and I will be at age 49. I'm glad I got to finally meet some of you in real-life. And thanks for the first-run G-C-T-shirts! (Remember, kalvyn, you said you were going to wear the GC shirt when you do the Isle of Man TT next year.) I hope you guys set up one of these get-togethers again. Even if it's without free stuff.

Isle of Man TT

Now those guys are freaking crazy! Those are surface streets, no runoff or nothing. Also, you rule for even knowing what the Isle of Man TT is. :) Nice meeting you, too.

I look forward to another Grit City get-together, perhaps this time at a coffee place where it's not so loud?

It's just more of that useless information that clutters my head, edging out the important stuff.

Anyway, how do I say this...
After close scrutiny, I'm now quite sure the decapitated T-shirt models above are NOT any of our beloved Grit City bloggers. And that's just not right.
Savvy_Reader @ 12:46 - Monday, January 28th, 2008 Email
Hey, you didn't say there were [AYPE] "YOU'LL LIKE TACOMA" GC coffee mugs, too!
(Or I wasn't listening.) That's awesome!

Dang I missed it.
