[NewMusic] T-shirt question

So, as some of you know, 21 Grand's landlord does not want to let us out of
our lease (which expires at the end of next February), even though he
doesn't want to pay to renovate the building. So, faced with the option of
leaving and being liable for a year's worth of rent or staying in the space
and being liable for a year's worth of rent, we chose the latter.
Our plan is to move at the end of our lease to a space that is more or less
up to code or would require less expensive building modifications.
In the meantime, in order to pay said rent, we have no choice but to resume
having shows (sad, I know) and try to mitigate the risk of getting caught
and getting busted again. These "mitigation" methods include only doing a
couple shows a week, not having shows that go super late, and avoiding
Friday and Saturday nights when statistically the cops that bust illegal
venues are out and about.
We are also looking to do raise funds by other means, including the subject
of this post - t-shirts. So besides, an fyi this is also a bit of market
research. Would you be interested in purchasing a 21 Grand t-shirt? If so,
do you wear a size other than medium or large?
Thanks,
sl
