Week 7 is TONIGHT at Barcade!
Friends!
It is Week 7 TONIGHT at Barcade in Fishtown at 7:30pm.
You heard right, just two more weeks until Finals are upon us!
Big thanks to Kian for manning the operation while I was out last week! Also big boooo to the mystery stomach bug that took me (and last week's newsletter) out late in the in the game.
I'm back tonight though, and I've got shirt updates!
WE'RE GONNA COLLECT SHIRTS THROUGH FINALS NOW
I've still got a few design-related things that aren't ready to show yet, so instead of trying to rush everything to make sure we can deliver the goods in the next 3 weeks, we're gonna collect shirts every week through Finals.
You'll have the option of picking them up on a Monday night between seasons (date TBD, but likely a week or two after Finals), or having em hand-delivered by yours truly. We'll miss out on a glorious group unveiling, but this way we can build in some extra time to make sure everyone's covered.
So here's the plan:
BRING YOUR SHIRTS AND PRINTABLES
We will have 3 designs ready before Finals, one of which will be a reissue of the classic Perry Shall bell tee.
All of em will be bangers, but being that this is a backwards process of buying a shirt before seeing the designs, you'll have a chance to change your order once the designs are up.
Either bring me your stuff tonight, next week, or during Finals, along with $5 per piece.
When designs are ready, I'll reach out to everyone who brought stuff and collect details on which designs and colors (black or white) you want printed on which item.
If you're interested but can't get anything to me, just give me a shout — we'll have some blanks on hand and I'll make sure you're covered.
Sorry for rocky start, and thanks for hanging in there! It will absolutely be worth your while, and I suppose it wouldn't be a true PPC/DIY operation without a little chaos.

THE COMMUNITY PRIZE TABLE BECKONS
I'll devote some more space to this next week, but if you are unfamiliar with the fabled Community Prize Table, take a gander at last season's pitch for one of the best things about PPC Finals.
