“SLOSHFEST 2: Slosh Harder” is August 6th-7th. And now we have shirts! And more! Details inside.

We had so much fun with the first Sloshfest that we thought we’d do it again. But bigger and better. And so…

###“SLOSHFEST 2: Slosh Harder” is scheduled for 24 hours from 8:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time (UTC-6) August 6th to 8:00 a.m. CDT August 7th.

Be at the sesh, or be unfresh.

Confused what Sloshfest is?

It’s probably simplest if you just read the original post about it here to get the concept. Also here and here.

Your Discord server, which is continuously quite active and even does little mini events between Sloshfests as its denizens so desire, is still:

#https://discord.gg/0zQuQq56g171tWja

##A few changes from last time:

1. It’s 24 hours this time, not 30. I think that’s a little more reasonable.

2. Don’t drink but are over the drinking age in your country and would like to participate?

#Come on in!

We’re like a bar with an entry age, but you can have a virgin Sloshfest if you want. Just be aware that the spirit of Sloshfest is SAFE inebriation. There WILL be drunk people around you. No judging; just have fun, and watch out for each other.

##New things to know:

Voice chat was IMMENSELY SUCCESSFUL at the first Sloshfest. Easily, this was the star of the show. It was absolutely amazing to get to play matches while chatting with an Australian, a Brit, an Irishman, a Swede, an Austrian, Canadians, and Americans ALL IN ONE MATCH. Seriously. It’s brilliant. I HIGHLY SUGGEST you prepare yourself for voice chat if you’re coming, because it’s fun, and it breeds wonderful camaraderie.

That said, we’ll have rooms for non-voice chat as well. Everyone’s welcome, and we’re making the Discord server better all the time.

##And, now, what you’ve all been waiting for since you read the title:

#WE HAVE SHIRTS!

###Here!

The designs on the shirts were done by the well-known u/RaymieHumbert. He’s been around.

The Teespring campaign is going to run for 10 days, so that hopefully shirts can get made and be in your hands and on your body by Sloshfest. However, if you miss the deadline, and there’s sufficient interest, I’ll just start another campaign and you’ll have your shirts by Sloshtoberfest.

Teespring seems to be a good choice here. You can pick from three types of shirts. Pick your size (sizing chart here), pay, and when the campaign ends in 10 days, everyone’s shirts get made and shipped. They do international shipping as well. Everyone who wants one should be able to get one. I can’t guarantee WHEN it will arrive, but the shipping prices seem quite reasonable.

##But wait! There’s more!

I just felt like doing a little something extra on top of the little something extra that is the shirt campaign. Soooooooo…

I’m getting embroidered patches of the official Sloshfest logo by our own u/Rose94, lovely and helpful Sloshfest-coordinating partner of mine. They look like this. White background, black border, 3 inches by 3 inches (7.62x7.62 cm) square.

They will have a heat seal back, so you can iron them on to the shirt, your favorite bag, your sibling, whatever! Or you can sew them on.

#Everyone that orders a shirt will get a patch!

#If you don’t order a shirt, I’ll still sell you patches for $5 apiece. Depending on demand, I'll let you know if I need to get more made first.

---

Okay, the patches are a little more complicated, because they won’t ship with the shirts. I have to ship them out myself. Sooooooo….

#If you bought a shirt or want a patch, private message me.

At the very least, tell me you ordered a shirt or you want a patch. If you could, give me your shipping info (or at least where you basically live to start with), so I can start working out the best method of shipping these. They’ll probably all ship first class, including international. I may have some additional shipping charges for international. I don’t know. I’m not really trying to start a business here. Just thought patches would a be cool thing to do.

I will make a separate thread later regarding the patches with more details. Knowing where they’re going who’s getting them will be good to know ahead of that time for figuring that stuff out. Still working out the kinks of this, but, hey, PATCHES!

Ok, so we’ve got merch now. And a date.

###Are you ready for Sloshfest 2?!!!

I am!

#UPDATE: More info on merch here since I wrote this original thread.

#UPDATE 2: Running into a few problems with the second part of the merch equation, but shirts are still good to go and waiting to be bought by you.
