Tea Party Tshirts

If you wanted a t-shirt yesterday, and weren't able to get one before they sold out, please email me ASAP to order. T-shirts are $10 for Adult S-XL and $12 for 2XL and 3XL. (I need 36 shirts to make an order)

Also, I have 18 shirts left over from yesterday - most of them are Kids Small and Medium, with a few Adult Small (might work as a Kid Large). I will sell those shirts, on a first-come first-served basis, for $5.

Can you believe the Tea Party is Tomorrow!?!?! `

Here is some final information about the event:

WEATHER: The weather looks to be cooperating – hopefully all of this rain today will move away and tomorrow will by drier and more “tea party friendly”. No matter what, rain or shine, we will party like it’s 1773!!!

PARKING: Below, you will see a map of available parking for the event. One request… If you are young, healthy, and don’t mind the walk, please park at the corner of Main Street and Charlotte Road, in the Fred’s/Courtside Parking lot. This will free up the areas closer to the courthouse for the elderly and people with small children.

Also, First Baptist Rutherfordton is letting us use their parking lots for Tea Party parking, including the field behind the church.

RADIO INTERVIEW: I will have a final pre-party radio interview tomorrow morning on WCAB 59 at approximately 8:15 AM. If you’re up that early, tune in….

COURIER: The Tea Party made the front page of the Daily Courier today! It was a great article - if you haven't seen it already, check it out! They will be covering the event tomorrow, as well.

PICTURES: Also, if you have one, please bring your camera tomorrow. I need between 400-600 pictures for a 3D photosynth that will be done of our Tea Party. If you are able to take pictures, please email them to rutherfordteaparty@gmail.com and put in the subject line: PICTURES. I will put them all together and email them to the group compiling our 3D photosynth. It’s a really cool concept that I had never heard of until yesterday!!! But it’s REALLY cool – and FREE!!!

PJTV: PJTV.com is still looking for Citizen Reporters for the Tea Party. If you are interested, check out their website and sign up. They can use people with cell phones, digital cameras, and/or video cameras. (www.pjtv.com)

Hope to see you tomorrow - Jennifer
