How about VIOL wristbands?

I like wearing my forum tee shirt and carrying my forum beach bag, but not everyday / everywhere when on STJ. How about a silicone wristband that we could wear all the time when we're there? They're very inexpensive (here's the first link I found by Google: http://24hourwristbands.com/?mysrc=google)

Several of us forumites are doing 8 TUFF next Feb., and it would be fun to find each other on the route (but the tee shirt is too heavy to run in, at least for me.)

I'd also wear a wristband in the water, out to dinner, etc., when I wouldn't be wearing my tee shirt.

Anthony, what do you think?

Anyone else interested?

Anthony you are the best! I realized after posting that I might be creating more work for you... thanks for being open to the idea!

What do you think it should say on the wrist band? And how much do people usually pay for these things???

I just did a quick check at the link I posted above. It looks like you get a max of 25 characters for front (and optionally back.) Unfortunately this URL is 26 characters with .com and "Haven't I Seen You..." is too long (even if substituting "VIOL" for "The Forum". So you could do something like:
Virgin Islands On Line (front) Forumite (back)
VIOL Forumite (front)
You Can Find Me On VIOL (front)

and I'm sure others can come up with other ideas! (Also other sites might let you do more letters.)

Regarding cost: these things are usually only a few dollars each. (Less than $5, I'd say.) But obviously you need to make it work so that your costs are covered and then some. (None of us work for free!) Luckily these should be really cheap to mail.

I'd love to hear other ideas too.

Anthony the site linked also has an option for neoprene wristbands (1/2" or 3/4") that let you use your own artwork and/or allow many more characters. That might be a good option -- I'd wear one of those.

The silicone wristbands can be solid color or two tone (and some other options).
