Welcome!

I dont really have any ideas for a spot or activities......what do you guys have in mind for the first get together? Personally, I would wait till spring after we get many more members and the weather isnt so gloomy (its raining today! ARGH!)

I was wondering about that. Damn! being edited already :'(
CFW is Camp far West in Nor. cal. Awesome place. No speed limit no noise restrictions. Fast boats all over the place. Although camping is year round, the two biggest days are New Years and fathers day.
I'm making the trip!

I'm just a few miles north of yah.
For the good places in So Cal, your best bet is the River. For quick afternoon jaunts there is always Elsinore. For the weekends when you want to really let it loose, head up to Northern Cal's CFW. Just a little N.E. of Sac. Well worth the drive.

It's about 8 hours. It would be cool if on one of the big weekends we all caravanned up there. Be a neat little convoy of boats headin up the 5.  ;D

I'm interested in stickers and shirts. Heck, with it as cold as it is it would be cool to have sweatshirts as well. Great for camping and stuff. I know it's expensive to do, but maybe we could buy in with some pre-orders to get them started. Atleast enough to pay for initial screenings n such.

I will be getting pricing tomorrow for shirts.....I need to come up with some new art work for them. I figure once I get the screens made, I can pretty much do t-shirts, long sleeved shirts, sweat shirts, baby t's, etc....then put them online for sale.

I already have a killer sticker guy who can make 2 color 3"x6" vinyl stickers for real cheap and those will be free-bee's with each order :)

Any ideas for artwork? or should I just stick to the logo i have for the header?
Title: Re: Another "newbie"
Post by: beerjet on November 30, 2006, 04:24:38 AM
I think the logo you have is a great start . I will be interested in both.
maybe I can tag along and do an article on this event for the website :)
I'll have room for ya in either boat . All I have to do now is get my ass up there.

I like the logo you have. It'll look great on clothing (and of course as stickers too)

Post by: Brad @ SCJB on November 30, 2006, 11:11:53 AM
Here is the current sticker I have....I have 2 available. I know I said I had 3 before, but I am going to relocate mine to the center of the window.

I tell ya what....I will give these to the first 2 people to donate $10 or more to the website HERE (http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?action=paypal).

The reason for the donation minimum is because they cost me $9 each to have made.

-30F are you crazy. You could give me a better job than I have in Cali and a mansion on a lake with any boat of my choice and I still would not live there. Kudos to you buddy. O0
