Temporarily delurking here...

I think I joined the cs.colorado.edu list circa 1996 ... and I've never seen this one before! I have the "bomb" design -- "there's two sticks in the powderworks, I think it's gonna blow today" -- but my shirt has a black background. That's OK, I tend to spill coffee on things!

I finally joined the iPod/iTunes universe, so I've been having fun loading my collection of Oils onto the wee little device and having everything ALL in one place.

Cheers,
Patty in Maryland

I've had two shirts from here over the years, the maroon one Todd mentioned, and before that the white one with the bomb on the front.  Never seen this one before though, and I've been here since 1997 some time.

Hmmmm, I have a Powderworks shirts (actually 2), but it has a much cooler design than this one. Mine are maroon with long sleeves and have some really cool artwork on it. Didn't know there was this other one and I got on the old cs.colorado.edu list around 1994.
 
Nice find Carolyn!!

About a year ago there were some posts about Midnight OIl memorabilia,
but I don't remember this Tshirt being mentioned. I knew I had it
somewhere, but didn't know where to look. I found it at the back of a
cupboard today - looking for something else of course!

For those who weren't on the list at the time, it was for designed for
list members. As there was no paypal etc, to make international
payments, one person in each area volunteered to collect the money and
then change it to Aus dollars to reduce the costs of converting from
one currency to another.

I can't remember how long ago it was - over ten years? The list
address is cs.colorado.edu. The names at the bottom right of the map
say "Walske Carnahan Marder".

According to the label, the fabric was made in the US and it was sewn
in Mexico. It was then sent to Aus and onto the UK, so it's better
travelled than I am.
