Just got in my order of Alembic shirts.  Nice!  It isn't hard to support the Wickersham's and all of the good folks at Alembic on their works of art that double as basses!  
 
When are you guys going to get some baseball caps done up? ;)

Eagerly awaiting delivery of my order also, hope it arrives before my journey to Piere-Yves's Alembic center. :-)
 
+1 for the baseball caps!

I ordered three from Cafe Press sometime last year and one has already disappeared into the black hole that odd socks go to in washing machines.
 
I think Pierre-Yves European Alembic Centre of Excellence is more appropriate. :-)
 
I've  just emailed you.

Ah yes - now THAT looks familiar!
 
Strange but true story:
 
I have the same shirt and was wearing it when I went through a security check point in an airport last fall. After I was scanned, one of the TSA employees asked me to step into a special area so he could pat me down. He claimed the design on my shirt was creating difficulty with their scanner.
 
Apparently, the silkscreening process used (or the ink itself) is so dense and the graphics cover the cloth so completely that their body scanner was rendered useless for that portion of my body.
 
Now THAT'S quality!

Rock on!  5a, that is a very funny story!  You know a shirt is hardcore when it excites the TSA!

Got me a Dusty Sage XL coming... been meaning to order one for a while. Got to talk w/Mica for a minute, who was still quite gleeful at the success of her little April Fool's Custom prank. =)
