projects!
You know that scene in Clueless where Cher looks at a (then surprisingly hot) Britney Murphy and squeals "PROJECT!"?
That's me, a lot. Finding projects. I'm a fan of planning and carrying out plans. And. Lucky you, I have two projects that I could use some help on.
1. Our very tiny theatre company is writing a play this summer. We think we'd like to take the base text from a variety of people's personal sites & blogs, in a small way incorporating new media into very very old media. I'm looking for people to send me text from their journals/blogs/whatever. Each submission can be a compilation of several dates and subjects, whatever you like; my only stipulation is that each person who wants to participate in this project a) send me at least 1000 words (no upper limit) of text and b) you're willing to let us edit your text however we like. What you get out of it is credit, if you want it, and my love and appreciation.
2. It's really hard to find fitted t-shirts in large sizes with political messages (or, in fact, with much of anything printed on them). I'd like to do something about this, or find someone else who already has. Any ideas about what I could do? I've thought about making iron-on transfers that people could use with the shirt of their choice, or finding someone to make shirts (who? I don't know), or even getting an amateur's at-home silk-screener.

http://www.northernsun.com/ has t-shirts to size 4x with left/liberal political messages.
http://www.cafepress.com/ has t-shirts to size 4x. people design their own graphics for the shirts and sell them in their own "shops," and there's a cafepress shop for just about anything you can imagine.
http://cat-and-dragon.com/stef/fatfaqs/ has links to some clothing faqs that list some companies that sell large t-shirts with messages/graphics printed on them. there are also a few companies listed that will print your message/graphic on shirts larger than 4x.
http://www.torrid.com/ sells babydoll-type t-shirts in sizes up to women's 26 with graphics on them (but they don't have particularly controversial messages).

By fitted, I mean the babydoll-style top (a la Torrid, but with more political edge). A t-shirt that someone 5' tall could wear without the shoulders coming to her elbows and the shirt coming to her knees.
Northern Sun has great messages on their shirts. They're actually one of the companies that made me think how much I'd like to have some of these messages on a shirt that would be more fitted.
