The show in Zanesville went great last week. It is so cool to have an audience of people who made a conscious choice to leave the comfort of their homes and pay money to watch me perform. So much of my work is for captive audiences: corporate events where people are expected to show up. It is hard to express how amazing it feels that these people last week chose to attend the show.
It became clear early on that I missed an opportunity while I was there. Several people asked me whether I had anything to sell. T-shirts, DVDs, anything. Both of these are in the works, but not quite ready. Actually, the DVD will quite likely incorporate footage from this very show.
How many other shows have I done where I could have made a few extra bucks – and distributed promotional materials at the same time! – but missed the opportunity for lack of product to offer? Well, stay tuned, because I hope to never miss this particular opportunity again.
I’d love suggestions and comments on possible T-shirt designs. Eugene and Jose’ are the most likely characters to have their own shirts. And, of course, there will be some playing around with “I’m No Dummy” text. What kind of shirt would YOU buy? Let me know. Heck, shoot me a design! If I use your design, I’ll send you a free shirt.

Hey David,
I realize you’ll probably use someone in your area for T-shirt production, but if you wanna shop prices, give Jim Folse at http://www.gcsports.net/ a call. He’s a life-long friend of mine that does my shirts.
He’s out of Texas, and doesn’t mind brainstorming production and shipping options.
Tell him I sent ya…prolly won’t help. ;D
