I have a question. It might be a board question. If so I appolgize in 
advance. Could we put the past year's tshirt designs up on Zazzle and 
then place an ad on Penguicon.org so that people can get reprints of 
previous year's shirts? That way we can automatically take a %17 cut on 
all old tshirts sold and members will be able to get "out of print" designs.
