This November will mark the unusually numbered 52nd anniversary reunion for
Shakespeare@Winedale alumni. And of course the central question for so many of us will be
... what kind of T-shirt designs, quotable coffee cups, crowns, patches, and other items
of "swag" will we be able to bring home with us?
Well, there are some obvious choices. T-shirts with hand-drawn designs printed on them
have been favorites over the years, for example.
So we should ask ourselves if we want new designs. Or adaptations of old designs. Or
both. Those of us who've gotten a bit balder (yet also bolder!) in recent decades may
want decorative caps. Others may want patches they can sew on to favorite jackets and
vests. Will the swag items be just for full-reunion attendees, or just for alums, or will
anybody who wants some be able to buy some? How will we order appropriate sizes and
colors in advance, etc.?
Here I'm channeling both my own questions and Emily Ayres's questions, because we
both are interested in things we can buy and take home .... assuming that others are
interested as well.
So this note is meant to spark a discussion of swag we might wish for, ideally in time to
select a few good ideas and start producing items that capture something of our oddly
numbered 52nd-anniversary reunion.
What do you all think? Please feel free to respond to the mailing lists, but also feel
free to send suggestions privately to me and to @Emily Ayres

Em, do you have anything you want to add here?
Mike
