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. :-)

Here's an idea. Give a shirt to the first commenter! :D

 

Ooops, guess I was 2nd. So give'em to the first and second commenter!

09/03/2008 05:42 PM by Matt Muelver (Famous Homes Realty)


YEA AR staffers!  I love it!  How cute!  The swag completely confused me yesterday...thanks for the follow-up.  Have any of ya'll gotten calls from modeling agencies yet???  Kristin

09/03/2008 05:44 PM by Kristin Moran ~ San Antonio, Texas ~ Real Estate (RE/MAX Access )


How about a shirt with a Rain Theme of some sort...real rain...the second commentor can have my free t-shirt

09/03/2008 05:47 PM by Jay Valento - Long Beach Real Estate


"It's yet to be determined how the new Localism shirts will be distributed!"

Why am I not surprised? I like "I survived the localism, land rush". That should get a few questions at the gym.

09/03/2008 05:53 PM by Missy Caulk-Ann Arbor- Realtor(R)- Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams-Ann Arbor)


Wait do you guys have one that says

I wrote hundreds of blog entries and commented on thousands of blogs and all I got was this lousy Active Rain T-Shirt??

09/03/2008 05:53 PM by Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Agent & e-PRO® Realtor® Shane O'Gorman (Eau Claire Realty, Inc.)


Claire, what a great idea and why am I not surprised! How about "Featured" t-shirts, and soon to come the new radio with Superman Brad...he needs a special t-shirt, too!

09/03/2008 06:01 PM by Sacramento Real Estate and Luxury Homes, Assoc. Real Estate Broker,Gena Riede (Remax Gold, Assoc Broker)


Claire, Did you get any in my size? I wear JUMBO!!! I please get out in the sun tomorrow. The pics are great.

09/03/2008 06:08 PM by Bryant Tutas-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc


Claire ~ I can just hear the background music "I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt . . ."  Neat idea; would love to see regular Active Rain shirts too.  "Yeah, on the catwalk, on the catwalk".  ; )

09/03/2008 06:29 PM by Kathy Passarette, L.I. Staging/Decorating (Creative Home Expressions)


Kathy, that was bad...on the catwalk, really.

09/03/2008 06:45 PM by Jason Roebuck (None)


Claire, YIPPEEEEEE!  How a model in each city?  I'll take Huntsville, lol...I'll gladly wear it ALL over. I also go to Nashville often, so I can cover 2 states at once:)  I can't wait until they let us all get our bodies hands on these!  Thanks for teasing sharing with us!

09/03/2008 06:46 PM by Huntsville, Alabama Real Estate Agent Elizabeth Ramsey Cooper-Golden (Remax Huntsville/Madison)


Hey, how about a free T-shirt to everyone that gets a feature? Or #1 in a state or WHAT? OK...I'm off to make some dinner...I'm starving here.

09/03/2008 07:01 PM by Lizette Fitzpatrick, Lexington KY Real Estate (Central Kentucky - Prudential Don Foster - Richmond KY)


Is this like Monopoly?  All the owners of Railroads and Utilities will get a free shirt to help them get out of jail.  Wait that doesn't even make sense to me.  To much time with my two year old granddaughter this week has turned my brain to mush.

09/03/2008 07:02 PM by Cindy Jones-Northern Virginia Real Estate & Military Relocation Services (RE/MAX Allegiance #1 RE/MAX Company in the World)


Heard a rumer the guys were swiping shirts today, better check the inventory, (haha) then save me a large~  :-)))

09/03/2008 07:19 PM by Brad Andersohn ~ Community Builder (ActiveRain)


Hmmmm...and the more you print the cheaper it is...what happened to my AR store with profits to go to THEM THEM week so we can really help THEM THEM and do a great big bunch to help realtors images nationally !

09/03/2008 08:06 PM by Sally & David Hanson Realtors WI Residential-Commercial-Short Sale (First Weber Group)


Too cool!  I was wondering just how long it would take y'all to have some sort of swag!

09/03/2008 09:01 PM by Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (Agent Owned Realty)


I had no idea what that SWAG post yesterday was all about!!!! Duhhhh. Thanks for the update. I love them, I love them , I love them. I want one, I want one, I want one. :0)

09/03/2008 09:11 PM by Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (Beach View Real Estate)


Is that what $9/month gets ya?

I wondered...now close the loopholes on how Localism works so I don't have to cancel my own land rush! :)

They are really cool shirts, but I think the jacket is the best...just simple.

09/03/2008 09:21 PM by Ron Tarvin's Katy Agent Team-- Katy Texas Real Estate Agent (Real Estate Agent in Katy Texas with RE/MAX Grand)


I really like that they are not WHITE!  I hate white T-shirts.

09/03/2008 09:34 PM by ARDELL DellaLoggia (Coldwell Banker Bain)


Boy you guys at Activerain sure do work hard! :D I would so rock an Activerain Shirt....I want one that says "I would rather be blogging"!

09/03/2008 10:55 PM by Justin Williams - Loan Officer (Prosperity Mortgage)


Sounds great !  Would love to have one too.. Keep us posted on how to get them.

09/03/2008 11:22 PM by Roland Woodworth "Clarksville-Fort Campbell Area Realtor" (Exit Realty Clarksville)


Hmm, I wonder if any of the AR swag will make the trip to REBlogWolrd in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. Might be a good way to catch the attention of others in the blogosphere.

09/03/2008 11:28 PM by John Novak - Las Vegas and Henderson NV Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace)


Now that's cool stuff!  Ya know... those folks who wanted a free shirt for posting right after this blog was posted really oughta get some work done during the day... LOL!  (Maybe I'm just jealous)

09/03/2008 11:44 PM by Kent Simpson REALTOR®, CNS®, AHS®, RECS® (with The Pepper Group™ Diversified Real Estate)


Very cute shirts (and good looking models). Will anxiously await how they are going to be distributed.

09/04/2008 02:23 AM by Bob & Carolin Benjamin - E Phoenix Arizona Real Estate (Benjamin Realty LLC)


Claire, you're so funny!!! We ALL look albino in the pics, hehehe!

I LOVE my new shirt!!!!!! WOW!!!! And the jackets are awesome too!!!!! :)

09/04/2008 03:31 AM by Sara Washburn (Realty Executives Brio)


Love the long-sleeve gray one with teal writing...how do we get one?

09/04/2008 05:17 AM by Lisa Schlitz Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties & Investments Inc.)


Ok Claire,

You guys might have dibs on AR shirts but I had the first blog shirt on this network...so there.

Cute Neal!  Shirts are a great idea I think everyone will want one!

09/04/2008 07:35 AM by Allison Stewart REALTOR ®St. Cloud Florida (Florida Pines Realty, Inc)


HI CLAIRE!

Those are cool, but how about something with AR on it?  Someone has probably suggested that already, but just in case no one has!

Great idea!

09/04/2008 07:51 AM by YVETTE SMITH REALTOR IN WILLIAMSBURG VA WILLIAMSBURG VIRGINIA HOMES FOR SALE (LIZ MOORE & ASSOCIATES)


Claire- I will be checking my mailbox daily from now on waiting on mine!

09/04/2008 08:20 AM by Jeremy Blanton Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Coldwell Banker Chicora Real Estate)


Genius to announce the shirts band create buzz! When I am not waering a tie, I am a T-shirt kind of guy!

09/04/2008 09:11 AM by Russell Lewis, Broker,CLHMS,GRI (AvenueOne Properties, Inc.)


Claire - love the shirts and the pics. Reminds of of fun in my last corporate job at an Internet start-up company. Looking forward to hearing more.

Neal - great shirt, dude!

09/04/2008 09:20 AM by Jeff Dowler ~ Carlsbad Real Estate ~ 760-840-1360 (RE/MAX Associates)


Whew! Lots to look at here - I'm glad y'all like the shirts ;) And no, my purpose of blogging was not to cause a buzz, but to show 'em off!  They's beautiful (and not white!).  To answer questions: YES, that's Sara in her new short 'do.  YES, they're definitely not white shirts.  NO, I don't have the official proclamation of how they'll be distributed to the masses.   Neal - Awesome shirt.  And lastly, NO, Rich does not get a shirt cause he's big doo-doo head for tellin' -me- (ME!) to get back to work.

09/04/2008 11:26 AM by Claire C. (ActiveRain Corporation)


Hi Claire,

Great photos and great looking shirts! And yes of course I want one too! ;)

09/04/2008 12:17 PM by Suzanne Sands-Somerset, MA Real Estate (Century 21 Associates Realty)

09/04/2008 12:42 PM by Rebecca @ Schrader Inc. - Mobile Home Financing Specialists


Looks like some great gear and thanks for the preview!  Looks like everyone is doing well in AR ville.

09/04/2008 01:16 PM by Joan Whitebook, ABR,e-Pro,CEBA Southern New Hampshire (Buyer's Option Realty Services)


Sorry Claire,

I never hijack a post but I guess my shirt hijacked it...don't worry...mine isn't for sale:)

09/04/2008 01:23 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Claire, I love the first one! The long sleeve with the Teal print! I do like the zip up also though! It'll be great for those cold days! All three of them in Texas! Again, send the first one!

Later in the rain~Deb

09/04/2008 07:41 PM by Deb at Brooks Prime Properties


Can you add some nice bright frills with pink pompoms on mine...maybe a few sequins and bow? How about wiring for night lights when I walk the streets in the dark.

09/05/2008 03:33 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Can  I get a pink one?  Thanks for not making them white!!!
