I think Mercy Rule spent more time designing and screening t-shirts than we did working on songs. Prior to tours, the whole house would be covered in shirts waiting for ink to dry. We usually did two-color fronts with one-color backs, so 100 shirts took forever.
One of our best ideas was to screen a t-shirt/merch “menu board” so we didn’t have to use half a roll of duct tape every show to display all the goods.
The next best idea (finally) was to have other people screen shirts for us.
