I have many geeky T-shirts that I love, they remind me of the events and places I was enjoying - but I can not wear all of them any more. I want to keep them, as a reminder, as a souvenir, as a trophy. I have made the first T-shirts quilt in 2005, for "What the Hack" congress. (this flag have in the meantime traveled the world... [[T-shirts_Hacking#Hackers_flag_goes_places]] ) In 2013 I wanted to have a topic, and, since geeky T-shirts come mainly in black and white, but, with age and nonchalant washing practices, they end up in being in the *Fifty Shades of Gray*. Many people contributed their shirts, and I am grateful. It took a lot of work: choosing, cutting, combining, sewing. I am happy and proud with the result! Premiere was at "Observe Hack Make" festival, August 2013. =Status: FINISHED= [[File:OHM-50-shades_66A2135.png|400px]] Thanks to everyone who contributed the T-shirts: * Arnd * Philip * Dan * Bert * Randy * Tannie * Fransje * Azart * Nana * Shane * ... * (apologies if I forgot someone!) ==On Tour== ===At OHM2013=== The premiere showing of the flag was at OHM2013.nl , at NoisySquare.
