The Proton Charging-80s Tees Big Ass Contest
Posted on July 5, 2008
While the last contest here at PC was more for fun and to clear out our old stock of buttons (in order to make way for new ones) this one’s stepping things up a bit - 80sTees.com has graciously provided Proton Charging with a selection of shirts (and even a pair of boxer shorts) to give away, and I’ve gone one step further - I’ve done a little archive cleaning and dug up a whole lotta stuff I’m going to add to the pile. The end result is that I’m going to build a few prize packs, consisting of some portion of the following;
-80s Tees GB t-shirts
-80s Tees GB boxer shorts
-A copy of Ghostbusters: The Return (currently selling for $200US, used)
-A full set of Ghostbusters: Legion comics with the Dan Brereton covers
-A full set of the Ghostbusters: Legion Steve Kurth covers
-The Bulldog Collectibles alternate cover from Ghostbuster: Legion
-The Toyzz.com alternate cover from Ghostbusters: Legion
-A Hook and Ladder 8 station badge (featuring the No-Ghost)
-Issue #1 and 2 of The Real Ghostbusters
-The Ghostbusters Movie Storybook
-The Ghostbusters 2 Movie Storybook
-Various Starlog, MAD, Real Ghostbusters magzine
-A Ghostbusters 2 poster book
And that’s just the print archives combed - I haven’t gotten to the other boxes yet, so I’m hoping to be able to toss in some Ghostbusters 2 CDs and other GB/GB2/RGB knick-knacks. Not every prize pack will have each and every one of those items, but given all those items, each pack will still have lots in it.
How Can You Win?
Easy - Help more people find out about Proton Charging, so we can help them keep up to speed on all things Ghostbusters.
-Make a PC poster and take it to a con. Get it and your picture taken with someone famous. (5-10 points - photo evidence important.)
-Make some keen PC Live Journal, MSN, AIM icons and avatars, animated or still. Make a Proton Charging user bar for people to use in their messageboard signature. (1 point each, make as many as you want.)
-Tweet your follow-list on Twitter. (3 points per 100 followers - they don’t have to follow PC, you just have to tweet them and let me know.)
-Surprise me (I will be awarding arbitrary points based on awesomeness.)
And to help me keep track, when you send in your efforts, add “PC Big Ass Contest” to the subject line, so I won’t miss it.
THE CONTEST WILL RUN UNTIL AUGUST 5TH, MIDNIGHT PST!
Your Work
Your efforts are your work - Proton Charging retains its rights on the Fire No-Ghost logo - please do not alter the logo (other than taking out that yellow band in the fire - that was a mistake), or if you do alter it, it must be as part of a transition ending with the unaltered logo.
Of course Sony/Columbia-TriStar/etc. retain their individual rights as well, but the works you create are your own to reuse elsewhere as you like. Proton Charging will get to share your work with others. Your materials and the PC Ghost Logo are subject to a Creative Commons license;

In order to be attributed, please include the name you want attached (real or internet nick) in the file name.
In the event of dispute (such as a points tie or other) I flip a coin and everybody enjoys the swag they get.

Wow, such a great idea! I was the first one with 80s tees to give away, and it looks like I’ll be the last to announce my contest.
It certainly won’t be as creative as this. Bravo!
Ghostbusters: The Return is $200?! I guess accidentally ordering two copies wasn’t so bad.
I suspect the 80s Tees guy contacted a lot of us at the same time, I’ve just been dragging my heels. Once AJ went right to the source, I decided I’d better get this rolling before it became moot.
ok. so far I have made the PC logo my computer desktop, but that’s only because the logo rules more in high res. I asked this on GBF but will be more specific, would tagging the logo places be under jurisdiction?
No defacing public or private property, please.
I better get crackin’ to at least make up for my lack of a Con to go to (can’t get to SD and mine was in May)
hmmm, (strokes beard in a thinking manner) it seems like I should try and come up with a cool something or two… right now, my mind is blank. I shall go to a mountain and sit for days until I come up with something worthy…
I’ve started working on a few ideas…

I guess I’m the only one who DIDN’T get an e-mail from 80s Tees. Oh, well. It’s not like I don’t have my own stuff to provide that people will enjoy (albeit not in a contest).
[...] I wrote this days in advance, and set the timer to Midnight, August 5th - the closing date for the contest - so I’m not technically excited. I’m probably [...]
