Merchandising, merchandising...

This week I opened The Lineup Gift Shop at CafePress.com as another way for fans of our annual crime poetry anthology to show their support. Luckily we had a snazzy logo by John Collis to start with, but I still spent three days deciding how it should look against the backdrop of t-shirts, mugs, a messenger bag:


Next in our master plan is to book a live reading where we can actually wear the stuff. Also, I may not be in Indianapolis for Bouchercon in October, but organizer Jim Huang is interested in doing something with The Lineup, so the shirts may make an appearance there.

Great idea. The black one looks wicked sharp. Do they come in big fat guy size? I want to get one.
