Potlatch (wikipedia) was a “small literary speculative fiction” con in the Pacific Northwest, typically alternating between the Bay Area and points northern, held from 1992-2016 (a solid 25 years). Freddie was a reliable attendee & con-member, and frequently contributed art for posters and silk-screened t-shirts. We do not have a comprehensive collection of these! If you have some, please send photos & info.

For instance, a con-report by Eric Lindsay (in Gegenschein, his fanzine) about Potlatch 9 (2000) references “The otherwise excellent and inexpensive Freddie Baer T shirt was basically black. Dark colours just don’t go with our tropical climate, so although tempted by the design, I didn’t buy one. Jean did.” Please share a copy of this design!
