Paypal'd (finally) for 1 hat. Thanks for doing this Gwen, it looks great!

Jen

looks like you catched someones poor doggy in the rear wheel!!!!

Andy

Andy! Now I'm never going to be able to look at the hat without seeing the dog!

<_< Mer

LMFAO!!!

the hat's look great gwen. thanks so much. i'm gonna keep the hat in the car for "whomever" happens to be in the car with me at the time...

i think he's just peeing on the wheel ...

Andy

You teach? Let's hope it's not grammar...

Mer

Hats look sthuper!!!!!

You rock. Coinage paypal'd for 4.

Thanks for taking the initiative.

oh god, you have no idea how embarassing it is when my students correct me





i don't know how the hell i got into this..

You needed some way to support your 914 habit...Apparently teaching was the easiest way to do so.

Mer

Andy, you make Rorschach proud.

I think Andy has Wayyyy too much time on his hands....

Awesome hat! Is it to late for me to order one?

I ordered a few extras, so, no you're not too late. Still some unclaimed.

Here's this week's delivery update...

Apparently the manufacturer is behind schedule. I've been told to expect my order to get to me around Oct. 13.

I was really hoping to have them this week.

I'm hoping they will suprise me and deliver early, but as of today, it looks like I won't be able to ship hats out to all of you who've paid until the 3rd week of October.

I hope no one is in a hurry. Sorry

~Gwen

stuff happens.

but do please keep us posted. as it gets close i may ask you to drop-ship to someone local to the FFC instead of me ...

We'll see what happens, but wifey might like that idea too.

What does FFC mean? Far Flung Country?

Fall Foliage Classic


Andrew

Ah yes, of course, sorry

autocrossing chicks...very appealing. i hope my next girlfriend can appreciate the beauty of a mid engine sportscar. i think im gonna make one of those double billed hats. one side: porsche 914 other side: vw 914.

Your cooperation is appreciated!

Cheers,

PS- It is helpful if you also include your club alias with your payment so I can match it with my pre-order spreadsheet.

PayPal to gteener@yahoo.com
OR

I'm going to pass on this one so you can take my name off the list. Thanks.

I just sent payment, I meant to do it the other day but a client with a SQL server crash took priority. I just made the payment but didnt include my alias with it. Guess I should have read here first. It should be obvious, first initial and last name. I look forward to getting them and giving them to my girls.

PAID

via paypal

What name would I have received payment under?

I am Chris DeRango. Thought I put my club ID on the PayPal. Sorry.

Ah ha! Great. Thanks for the clairification.

~GG

My wife is disapointed that the "Got Cones" isnt on the hat.....Maybe on the back?

Nope...

Maybe next hat endeavor I won't restrict my design to "gurls" only

I need to finish selling the 914 GURL hats first!

I could look into having my avitar design made into an embroidered iron-on patch maybe...

Would that be of interest to anyone? It would allow for more flexible application (shirts, bags, hats, towels, pants, cloth upholstery, etc...)

My wife doesn't do hats, but she would be interested in a Tee or a tote. Particularly if in
Purple

Harvey

Your avatars are very creative and I have liked all of the ones I have seen.
You should go ahead and promote them, even though you do not have all of the 914 gurl hats sold. Heck, get out of control and do a bunch at once.

I do like the idea of the patches. Good way to start out. Then you would be able to see what people use them on and get marketing ideas from there. (shirts, tanks, totes, ties, panties , ect.)

LOL

When I was a kid I always wanted a purple Porsche.

I'm afeerd that purple would not be my 1st choice for product marketing though. I'm more apt to stick to traditional 914 colors. Red is on the top of my list. Orange probably 2nd (to match the cone), White 3rd.

A patch in orange with the 'got cones' would be kool.
hint hint

Thanks for the encouragement. It all takes money and time

I also have a pesky day job that I need to keep the teener rolling, along with the other expenses of life

OK ya'll,

As of this morning, the hat shipment is still scheduled to ship to me from the factory tomorrow. It will take 5-7 days to get to me, so October 13 is still the ETA to me.

I have discussed the possibility of having a few hats drop shipped for FFC (per request by some of you).

I need to know TODAY how many hats fall in to this category...

...AND is there one trustworthy person in the FFC area willing to accept the drop shipment and distribute the orders for me. Let me know ASAP and include a shipping address.

~Gwen

seems like if you can turn them right around on the 14th they'll still have a full 7-day week to get where they're going. if you were thinking of Priority (not Express...) Mail that should be plenty of time even for coast-to-coast. USPS has actually been running pretty smoothly lately ...

so - if you can get it to me not later than Oct 21, send it directly. i think of the FFC people, we're the farthest East, so if you can get it here in time, it should work for others -- except maybe the people who are leaving on Thursday...

Yes, I was already planning to send them Priority Post.

I won't be able to turn everyone's hats around on the 14th, I do have a "real" job.

How many hats are intended for FFC?

Anyone know? I'm aware of 2 definites.

~Gwen

I know I will be there (Garold Shaffer) and so will aircooledboy (Chris DeRango), qa1142 (William Lutman), and ArtechnikA (Rich Herzog). That's all I see so far.
You can mail them to me if you want and I will pass them out for you. Just let me know.

- Garold

i'm good with this plan too; whatever's gonna work...

Thanks for the offer. That count alone represents 8 hats.

I think Dave Monk (hi ho silber) is part of yer group too.

~G

Dave was planning on attending the FFC.

You can send them to me as well, if Garold has too much to bring down.

OK.

How about I send the 9 hats to you Sean?

You sure you don't mind distributing them?

OK FFC people:

Garold Shaffer
Chris DeRango
William Lutman
Rich Herzog
Dave Monk

I'm sending your 9 hats to Sean, since I'm fairly confident he'll also be dealing with the club hats then too.

Hope all yer GURLs like 'em

Thanks, Gwen !

Beauty eh.

Take off.

Thanks Gwen, Thanks Sean.

Perfect
Thanks again Gwen

Crap!!!!

Why can't anything go smoothly!



Apparently the factory shipped the hats to me a day earlier than expected by the vendor.

No factory drop shipping happening. I should get the factory shipment on the 12th or 13th...

Would you FFC people prefer I send your hats individually or to Sean?

Don't sweat it, Gwen. Getting them early is a GOOD thing. If it'd be easier for you to ship them to Sean, I'm sure the FFC attendees won't mind..

Jen

i think they should go to someplace where they can be received on Friday or Saturday - i don't know Sean's plans for certain but i expect he'd be in Columbus rather than Indy those days...

maybe they can go to the site of the "work on a 914 day" event (Doug?) or to the HQ hotel ...
