T-Shirts related to the early Online 3D Virtual Worlds Industry

Following my time with Elixir yours truly DigiBarn Curator Bruce Damer entered the then nascent Internet and online 3D virtual worlds movement and founded the Contact Consortium, Biota, DigitalSpace, held conferences and wrote a book on Avatars.
