Here is the latest news for the upcoming California Extreme Arcade and Pinball show to be held at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara on July 17-18, 2010.
T-Shirts
The final designs for the t-shirts to be sold at the show have been posted in the forum (click here). While these will be the ones for sale at the show, we realize some of you may want to have the design on the other side or reverse the sides or only print on one side. If you have a special request, you may send us an e-mail to info@caextreme.org to request one. Please note the following:
· Make sure to be specific in your request and include the size (and color if ordering a BOP version) of the t-shirt wanted and exactly how you want the graphics to appear.
· Please place an order only if you intend to pay for it and pick it up at the show (you can pay for it at the show or through pre-registration).
· We reserve the right to refuse a request.
· You must send the request by Monday, July 12 at 9:00 am PST in order to be included.
Questions? E-mail us and we can answer them.
