I'm not (shirts) going to say any(shirts)thing that will give(shirts) away the (shirts) actual surprise, but...these pictures may help you figure it out.
Figured it out yet? Maybe just a little? YES THAT IS RIGHT PEOPLE! We have SHIRTS! Otherwise known as swag, as I mentioned in my post yesterday, we have been in happy little fits for the last couple days since these started arriving. Designed by our own Glin, they are pretty in grey, white, and teal - Localism colors!
Aren't they beautimous?
The first says: I survived the Localism Land_Rush. This was, of course, Bob's idea. He wanted that SO BAD that he argued for it for what had to be at least fifteen minutes. What Bob wants, Bob gets!
The second says: The World's Most Complete Neighborpedia. Naturally, that's Localism's slogan, and HAD to be emblazoned across the chest of every AR Staffer today.
Finally, the last, which is my favorite for it's simplicity, says:
Localism. Straight, sweet, to the point. And O-M-G so warm! I told Glin I was taking both a Medium one (the one that actually fit) and then an XL that I'd had on throughout the day because it was like wearing a HUGE warm blanket.
Naturally, our AR Staffers couldn't POSSIBLY get shiney new toys without playing around with them a little bit. So, also naturally, we had great fun out in the hedges,
playing around and taking pictures. This one to the left is one I title, "Doublemint Twins", because it reminds me of those old-school commercials. From front to back, that's John Conner (our new Swiss Army Knife), me (washed out, of course - stupid albino skin), Sara Washburn (Jon's wife!) and Aaron Warner (new to sales).
We also managed to get a pretty car into one of our posts. To the right, here, with me washed out again, we have the same four goofy peeps hamming it up in front of the camera! We just couldn't let these pictures slip by without showing them off!
Directly after this minor photoshoot, of course, we had people from the neighbor real estate office over looking for shirts of their own! It's yet to be determined how the new Localism shirts will be distributed! But rest assured, we want these on as many backs as we can get them on.
Stay tuned! I will definitely keep you up to date on the new happenings, and of course, the new pictures out of AR HQ. New things seem to be coming at us left and right, and we would NOT leave you in the dark! For now, this redhead is signing out to snuggle down into her XL zipshirt and to get some paperwork done!
UPDATE!!! 9/8/08 Bob just wrote me to tell me this: Localism sponsors who have sponsored five or more communities will be contacted and sent a FREE Localism shirt of their choice! Woot!
Sure. Brag about the swag without an outlet for acquisition. I see ebay buzz building. :-)
