When you earn enough to eat, let us know.

In 8 hours I earned enough to pay for 3 months rent. How's that?

That's pretty cool. I assume you have prior experience with the industry? Clothing and prints, I mean.

Definitely a great way to capitalize on the moment. I wonder if anybody have a business that visits with a truck to melt all the snow. So much snow I don't know where to put it anymore.

I know this is not the norm for projects here on Hacker News and I realize that it may be seen as rather exploitive, so here's a very very brief background and my thought process: - Idea was conceived around 2am this morning. Saw a few events on facebook picking up speed (hundreds of thousands of attendees) so decided to leverage that instant-market - Wasn't sure whether or not it would work, but I didn't have too mu…

A non-relevant question, which one? St. Louis, Tulsa, Chicago, New York, etc... Since the shirt doesn't say, it won't make a difference from the sales point of view, just wondering which one was your inspiration?

Great landing page. I instantly get what's being sold and for how much, and the sale is a click away.

These costs are already factored into the price of the shirts, so you don't have to pay any additional costs for shipping

Nice touch -- both for including the shipping price in the advertised price and for not calling it "free".

I also thought it's a good idea that you de-emphasized the "2011" in the design, so the shirt remains mostly relevant if there's another "snowpocalypse" sometime :)
