The Great Geek T-Shirt Quest of 2004

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Fri, 04/30/2004 - 2:00am

I need more geek t-shirts. I used to get pick up a new shirt or two every year at GenCon, but it's been three years since I last visited that holy geek mecca, and the shirts happily purchased there are starting to show signs of wear. Their once-fine blacks are fading to a dull, flat dark gray, while others have acquired stains and rips from years of hard use.

What's a geek to do? Well, since a road-trip to GenCon or Origins is out this year, there is the Internet, and it's always open.
