Shirt designs and making it all fit

Collin Brady and myself spent 4 hours spray painting logos on t-shirts last Saturday, it was actually a lot of fun. I made cardboard stencils based on the top soccer teams in the Ethiopian Primier League for the 2009/2010 season. To keep the over spray to a minimum I put a sheet of double sided tape on the bottom of the stencil after cutting it all out, seems to have worked pretty well. The teams that will be represented during the soccer camp are Ethiopian Coffee, Dedebit Football Club, Awassa City, and the reigning champions St. George Football Club. A little side note for anyone wanting to spray paint t-shirts... don't use dark shirts. After we were done spray painting the 108 shirts we set to making ourselves a few shirts of our own, you can see them in the background of the picture. Now that I have the shirts all made, let's see if I can fit them in with everything else I am packing...
It was a bit of a chore but I have now successfully packed two fifty pound bags for my checked luggage. Anything else I decide I need to bring like say my toothbrush will have to be squeezed into my medium sized backpack that fits as a carry on.
Might have to shift some stuff around so that I have a heavier carry on, hopefully it won't end up at 50 pounds as well. So if you're looking at this picture and wondering how in the world I am ever going to be able to catch a plane with all this stuff, the following might help. This is going to be my loading procedure to fit all of this stuff on my person: First that little green camera bag that will host my Nikon D90 and other camera essentials, I will put it on one shoulder and wear it across my body like a messenger bag. Next comes the large fifty pound pack that gets to ride on my back and gets strapped at the chest and at the waist. Next the small pack that I will wear like one of those fake belly's that you can get to simulate pregnancy strains, this one also will be strapped at the waist around my back and possibly at the "chest" if I can get my hands back there. Finally the roller bag. I will be dragging this behind me, as most roller bags will go. This will be quite the show, I'll try to get a picture up here for you so you can see just how ridiculous I will look. Off to work I go, more to come later, thanks for reading!
