So are we also encouraging people to bring their littles? My wife is a little leary of bringing our kids with us.

I would like to bring my own (pre-washed) T-shirt to screen print at this event. With what color ink will we be screening?

PR has purchased totes that people will be making and selling for $5. I don’t think it would be a problem screening a shirt - if the person who is helping doesn’t have an issue with it. I also am going to bring up some paper. The images are awesome

Getting one more screen today.
