Fashion Police

I met last night with Ron and Margaret and their Irish Fest committee. Who are Ron and Margaret, you ask? Very important people. They, and their crack advisory staff, are the people who, even as we speak are deciding what you'll be wearing Irish Fest weekend.

Okay, to be more precise, they're not deciding what you'll be wearing when you leave the house to come to Irish Fest. We'll assume you can handle that little decision on your own. No, Ron and Margaret are deciding what sorts of T-shirts, caps, and other wearables we'll be selling in the official Irish Fest merchandise tents.

Last year, when Irish Fest closed, we'd pretty much sold out of everything. Which is great, because it means that this year we're starting from scratch. New inventory. New items. New designs. New colors. Last night, I saw a preview of all this new, new, new and you're going to like it. Our choices are expanding in some new directions and new options, so you can expand your shopping.

So when you come to Irish Fest, come naked. Or, alternately and less disruptively, wear something old and ratty. Head immediately to the nearest merch tent to buy official Kansas City Irish Fest garb and accessories. Throw out the old ratty clothes and change into the new ones. Believe me, you'll look great.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have some larger sizes - even if you have to charge more!! I've come in the past with $$ in my pocket and gone home shirtless (well, not in THAT exact way!) because there's no 2X or 3X available. :(

We'll take that into consideration when we're ordering. We certainly don't want you going home shirtless. Thanks for the input.

Just wanting to weigh in too - yes, please, larger sizes!

Good Lord Danny! You have people leaving the festival half dressed. Something needs to be done. Are there volunteer positions open to help dress and undress festival customers. I'll sign up.
