We Have A Winner!
A big thanks to the hundreds and hundreds of people who entered our  recent T-Shirt design contest! We were incredibly impressed by the  designs.

And the winner is...Brian Kaas of San Francisco, CA! His very elegant radio  design [below] seemed perfect for the next TAL pledge drive thank-you gift.



We also really love Jon Shkiele's weight-lifing snowman design (from Episode 323  ‘The Super’). We're planning to get those made too, to put in our  online store. I mean, look at that tank top the snowman is  wearing.
