Just quick brainstorming: - what are the things that Rudi likes, but doesn't necessarily share with Diana (football comes to mind as one thing) Other then this he likes: - golf - table tennis - video games - Star Wars - beer Doing T-shirts is doable. Rudi love's polos (the classical ITC ones he has in abundance) so maybe consider that. I have an access to 3D printer that can print 15 cm^3 objects, so if we come up with something geeky, fun and useful (at least for that one night) we could do that. That's my contribution for now.
