Many of you have urged me through the "Comments" function to offer Repairman Jack merchandise - hats, shirts, etc. I never wanted this site to be commercial, but requests became so persistent that I asked Lisa and Susan, the Queens of the Forum, to see what they could come up with. Susan designed a neato-cool logo that they've put on everything from T-shirts to thongs. (Really.)
For you SF nuts and fans of my LaNague Federation series, Susan and Lisa have added a new line at the Repairman Jack store: the LaNague Federation logo on front and "KYFHO" on the back. [For those unfamiliar with the term, I invented the acronym way back when for AN ENEMY OF THE STATE (see "Pipeline" above) and now it pops up everywhere. Google it if you can't guess the meaning.]
And now, by popular demand from you gun nuts and fans of Abe Grossman, ISHER SPORTS SHOP shirts and stuff are available. A design by the inimitable Susan Lee with a clever logo created by members of the website's Forum.

Approximately once per year, members of the Repairman Jack Message Board get together for a long weekend of fun and debauchery. These meetings are known as Grand Unifications (or GU's), a term borrowed from F. Paul Wilson's oeuvre. Previous GU's have taken place in Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, and Walt Disney World. Keep your eye on the message board for more information on the latest GU plans. All message board members as well as their friends, spouses, children, pets, parasites, and other hangers-on are welcome to attend.
