OOO! A contest! YES, PLEASE, as I do not see myself getting to this place before the limited run is sold out.

Have a great trip!

What a cool blog report by The Hundreds about the signing! Some really neat pictures!

I'm glad it was a success.

So many Usagi fans out there. Excellent to see.

Nice pictures; it seems it has been a successful and fun day for all concerned.

@ Maka: Aren't these your kids (the two in The Hundreds blog)? I hope they found it worth their time waiting for Sensei to sign their books... And didn't I see my t-shirts in those bags?

Thank you for being so kind !

SOME OF THE TEES ARE UP @ THE HUNDREDS WEB SITE. ACT FAST IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE ALOT.

Nice spot MD, I had a look a few hours ago and they weren't there...

I only see "armor" in blue with all sizes listed though. And a search for Usagi or Yojimbo returns nothing. You have to search for armor. Very glad that I was able to secure the two black shirts through a fellow board member.

Thank you so much to the board!!!

Here's the direct links:

Samurai Armor: http://shop.thehundreds.com/p-680-armor-tee.aspx

Straw Cape: http://shop.thehundreds.com/p-679-rain-cape-tee.aspx

You can select the color you'd like as well. It seems Large and X-large are sold out for the samurai design in both colors. Large in the white straw cape, and X-large in the black straw cape are sold out too.

The armor one is out of stock and no more xl anymore for the straw cape... wait and see, perhaps they will reprint some...

Yes, those were/are my daughters. I love those pictures because they do capture some of the excitement they had that day.

I only bought 8 t-shirts for four different Usagi Yojimbo Dojo members who posted on this thread or contacted me directly saying they were interested in a shirt or two. The bill still came up to almost $300. That's the most I've ever spent on clothes, not to mention t-shirts.

But they fit in one bag, so those aren't your shirts.

Shipping to Germany was a little expensive. Sorry.

My students were talking about the difference between short term happiness and long term happiness yesterday. The main difference is short term happiness (food, material goods, drugs, etc.) isn't sustainable like long term happiness.

That made me think of this Usagi Yojimbo Dojo. Short term happiness is buying a new UY book, which is good and worthwhile. Long term happiness is being a part of this Dojo community, contributing and reading post, and having opportunities to show gratitude or help other collect something they want. I get a lot of happiness interacting with you all here. Thanks for contributing to my happiness.

Peace, maka

Is there any way to get this tshirt? [im thinking about shipping to Poland]

Post by **Mayhem** » Wed Nov 25, 2009 6:22 -0700

They were posted on their website yesterday but most of them have now gone (well, in the sizes people want I suppose).

I'm on vacation in Hawaii right now, then will be going on to Japan Friday. We'll have a contest to give away a couple of shirts when I return in mid-December.
