We spent the afternoon making promotional T-shirts. Vince made three for Sourdough Labs, and I made three for SharableThings. We each made a cross-promotional shirt. Vince’s said that Sourdough Labs got three startups going this year: Chipped.In, PennyMinder, and SharableThings. Mine said Sourdough Labs #GSD (which apparently means “gets stuff done” in the bawdlerized version).

The Staples T-Shirt transfers worked pretty well. If you looked closely, there was yellowing around the letters, but who looks closely at a T-shirt? The T-shirts were from Costco. 100% cotton. XL.

Neither of us had experience as walking billboards, except, like most people, unconsciously for clothing brands. We went to Launch Party, a somewhat regular Vancouver event for newly launched companies. Walking around wearing the names of our own startups made us feel self-conscious. Starting conversations was easy, however.
