Best Conference T-Shirt Ever
Okay, you know how most conference t-shirts suck? They’re splashed with sponsor logos and no fun to wear on Casual Fridays. Who really cares that you were at “Fast Food Fest ‘99″?! I have a million and one of those types of t-shirts in my closet, and they all get thrown into the “donate to Goodwill” pile at the end of the year. Sorry, but I’m not interested in being a walking NASCAR chassis. Last year, we got a little geeky with the “Feed Me” shirt. This year, we’re totally stylin’ with a shirt that says it all without saying anything:
Cast a casual glance, and you’ll see nothing more than a hot paisley design on a black t-shirt. Look closer, and you’ll actually find a few alphanumeric characters spelling out the word G-N-O-M-E-D-E-X-6. There’s even a couple of unobtrusive Lockergnome logos thrown in there for good measure. That’s it – total black on the back. If you don’t think these are the best conference t-shirts ever, I’d like to see one less annoying (as in, completely devoid of sponsor logos). Our sponsors understand why we do this – and they all love us for it. My guess is that many Gnomedexers will wear the t-shirt well after the event. Oh, and we’ll have some extras for sale (including fitted t-shirts made for the female figure).

in the middle of a server move, so youÂ’ll have to pardon any hiccups you encounter over the next couple of days. The good news is: our new setup should be faster and a bit more stable. Knock on wood! IÂ’m busy prepping for Gnomedex – have you seen our t-shirt designs? ItÂ’s going to be awesome – and youÂ’ll be able to tune into the live stream on Friday and Saturday! Today, however, I wanted to share this bit of feedback submitted by Lockergnomie Reed Radcliffe on

s installment of the always-interesting conversation among industry influencers, entrepreneurs, thought leaders and generally engaged Web folks (yes, we hope to live up to at least one of those roles). And now, Gnomedex features the “best conference t-shirt ever.� While that’s self-proclaimed, it’s an assertion that’s pretty hard to argue with�even if the (CC-licensed) theme song scares the bejeezus out of us leaves something to be desired.  Among other treats, this year

a lawsuit over the claim, made by the UK’s Daily Mail. Can we resolve this peacefully so the slaves can crank out more toys? [Apple Insider]Props to Gnomedex organizer Chris Pirillo for designing conference tees that we’d pay good cash for (pictured).

The shirt looks good but I am even more impressed that you will have women’s sizes. I’m always surprised at tech shows when vendors force their female employees to look like lumberjacks…

Very cool shirt. Wish I could be there. I will buy one though when you are ready to sell them. Keep up the good work Chris.

Please let me know where I can buy one – I assume some will go on sale for non-Gnomedex attendees? Thanks! Chris
