About The Skwat! T-Shirts...

I've been getting quite a few emails from people interested in buying the Skwat! t-shirts. I'm very flattered but, honestly, I don't know if I'll be "selling" them again - they don't make money and I don't like the feeling of thinking I'm somehow "entitled" to make money from them anyway. I made the shirt because I loved squatting and I wanted to share them with friends - once I started selling them, it became "about the money".


Since I've started fund-raising for the Red Cross and Japanese disaster relief, I've been eating the cost of making the shirts and donating proceeds and I'm much happier. I don't know if that makes any sense, but that's where things are right now.

Our raffle raised over $300 for disaster relief in Japan and here at the site and through a drive at school, we've raised well over $2000 total. All proceeds were donated to Red Cross America and Red Cross Japan. I would like to do another raffle sometime in the near future.

Disappointing to say the least. I have several people who keep asking me when is Boris going to sell shirts again? I tell them to check your blog but now I'll have to give them the bad news.....

Boris, if you can pay for the blank t's, I'll print them for free. Email me if you're interested. tshirts@nauticom.net
I'm a poster on the DD forum (geoplaten), not a spammer or someone looking to sponge off you. I own a t shirt printing company. I'd donate everything if I could, I just can't donate the t's right now.
Thanks for all your informing posts.

You could charge a few bucks more, and donate the proceeds to disaster relief in Japan.
