Weekly VH07V T-Shirt Update!

WOWZAS!!! The VH07V T-shirts have been "selling" like hotcakes! Mahalo for all of your support so far! I put "selling" in quotes because I'm not really in full blast mode yet, and I've also been doing a few giveaways here and there as well. But still, from my original order of 20 dozen (240), I'm down to only a handful of shirts... In just one week! I gotta re-order again awredde! But I guess that's a good thing! At least people are interested in buying da buggahs. Either that, or my friends and family (and extended friends and family) are just being nice to support. Haha, nah!

Eventually, when I get time, I'll build a shopping cart site so everyone can just order um direct dat way. I'm also thinking about doing a craft fair or two to get a feel for how the public (not just friends and family) reacts to it. And don't forget, there is also a limited supply of Ls and XLs at Novel-T World at Ward Warehouse.

Ho! Fulfillment is not easy I tell you! Of the 15 of you VH07V Free T-shirt Winners, I successfully delivered to 8 of you. Ova half way dea! But actually, I stay waiting for a response from 4 of you too (color preference) so once I get that, I can keep jammin'.

Here are the colors that I will be re-ordering. Click on each link to see what they look like:

• Light Blue on Black
• Light Green on Blue
• White on Black
• White on Blue

I'm also looking to do a new color combo and just posted a poll on the VH07V Facebook page. White on Green is in the lead so far. Whatchu tink? She go? Cast your vote if you want to see a different color combo next!

POLL:
What color combination would you
most like to see next for VH07V?

Also, what are your thoughts on a women's line? A keiki line? Hats? I've been getting a lot of requests for those three so far too. Annnnywaaaaay...

Have a happy VH07V Wednesday y'all! Shoooots!

Sorry peeps. Nevah had time fo' tally all da scores fo' last week's Where In Hawaii contest, but in the meantime, here's the news that you've all (all three of you have) been waiting for...

Our VH07V clothing line is now a reality!!!

Yay! It's been a long time coming, but I'm soooo stoked that the day is finally here... And the shirts came out pretty kick-butt too if you ask me! Check um out go check um goooo!

VH07V T-Shirt (White on Blue)

VH07V T-Shirt (White on Black)

VH07V T-Shirt (Light Green on Blue)

VH07V T-Shirt (Light Blue on Black)

Which is your favorite?
I personally like the Light Green on Blue action, but, although you can't really tell from the picture, the Light Blue on Black is pretty sick too. But like I said, they all came out awesome!

Like Order?
I'm still in soft-launch mode, so I haven't really told too many people. The online shop is not even ready yet. But if you no can wait, drop me a line at world.wide.ed (at) gmail.com! I have sizes S-3XL in all styles and can do after (work) hour deliveries. There's also a limited supply of Ls & XLs at Novel-T World at Ward Warehouse. (Mahalo to aunty Stephanie!) And yes, no worries, I still got shirts put aside for our FREE VH07V T-shirt Winners!

Let me know what you think!
I wanna hear from you! The term "VH07V" (spells "Aloha" upside down, but is pronounced "Volve" for this brand), is a part of this blog's culture, so I'm really interested in hearing what you guys think about the shirts in the comment area below. Also, if you have any suggestions on how to get the word out shmall kine, holla! Shoot den!

Weekly T-Shirt Update!

Woo hoo! The printing job is scheduled to start this Thursday so we are SUUUUUUUPER close! I'm going to visit them after work either today or tomorrow to finalize and approve the colors.

The stickers are still being passed out here and there, but I've kinda slowed down so I can bundle them together when I pass out the shirts.

Sorry so vague... Just don't want to jump the gun with everything before I'm ready. I promise to announce everything here when I go live.

Have a happy VH07V Wednesday y'all! Shoooots!

I need your help y'all!

The other day, I asked a question that I thought might be a good topic for da akamai WWE `ohana. In preparation for marketing for my new clothing line, I was thinking of taking photos of some models/regular folks, wearing da shirts, with a nice, "scenic Hawaii" kine backdrop in the background. I came up with a few ideas, but wanted to reach out to my homeys (YOU!) to see if you had any other suggestions. And of course... FREE shirts and stickers to all ideas I end up using! Who knows? Maybe you can even model in the shot (if you not shame)!?

Anyway, here are a few ideas that I thought might be cool. It should kinda answer the question, "When you think of Hawaii, what do you picture in your mind?" Add your ideas in the comment area below please. You da bes!

• Sunrise shot on Lanikai Beach
• Kids eating shave ice
• Kanikapila scene
• Fishermen/Fisherwomen fishing off a rocky shore

Speaking of models, if you have any connections to hotties (women and men), or even non-professional, everyday (cute) looking folks, holla! If you wanna be a model too, let a brutha know below. Shoots! Thanks guys!

Since last week's theme was pink, why don't we go with another color themed week? Hmmm... how 'bout GREEN!?

Douzo!

Weekly T-Shirt Update!

No T-shirt updates since Monday's post on the new Nico's Pier 38 Restaurant & Fish Market, so I'll just repeat what I wrote there in case ya missed it...

The graphic/screen designer suggested that the artwork on the front be 12" (instead of the original 9" or 10") so we went with what he suggested since he's the pro after all. Hopefully it turns out OK.

Stickers! I've been passing them out to my closer group of friends so you may start seeing them here and there (hopefully). If you see them, or, if you get one from me, please take a photo of it in action (where it's stuck on) for me. I'm collecting it for the Facebook page.
