Take a look at:
http://forum2.aimoo.com/ffxi/Other-Games/CoH-The-5th-Anniversary-T-Shirt-Contest-Winners-Announced-1-529588.html

Not sure where they got the images. I'll keep looking. :)

[update]
Ouch. No joy on other, more official links. I hate to swipe somebody's bandwidth to link them here. Is there a good spot for these on Paragonwiki?
Ooh. It's Psyche, not Numi. (My tshirt was in the laundry so I couldn't remember and the pic I found was terrible, obviously.) That makes it even better, because fuck you SSA1!

For those who haven't heard it...
The Ballad of Tony V
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

HA!  I'd forgotten about that.   ;D

 :o Where can I download this magnificent piece of work? (And no, I had not heard it until now).

That was singularly the most awesome thing anyone has ever done for me.  It was written and performed by Joel "Mr. Wentworth" Garcia, and he did it right in the middle of a whole ton of frenetic activity going on.  I've gotta say, it helped get through some hard days, a LOT.  If you want to download it, just right-click on it and pick "Save link as..."

Thanks, Tony. I wish I had made a better recording for you.

I've been in a bit of a funk the past couple of weeks and am starting to think that this anniversary might have been playing some unconscious part. Around this time every year, for the past several years, Mrs. W and I would begin contacting charities and making arrangements for the coming Real World Hero drive. Much of my creative energy would be focused on that for the last quarter of the year, so I've got this itch and am trying to work it out but I can't do it the way I would prefer. I'm an idea guy, so I know I can be creative and come up with a solution for myself, but at the moment it just doesn't feel like it will be satisfying. My favorite flavor of ice cream is chocolate and there isn't any more chocolate ice cream in the world. There's plenty of other flavors and I can enjoy them, too, but it's still not chocolate.

I've been absent from forum activity for awhile, waiting not wandering, but I'm glad I popped in again. Thanks for the optimism!

Hey man, no. I just listened to that and (for what my opinion's worth at least) it's perfect just as it is. Great job on it!

Reminds me of another MP3 I have of Townes van Zandt singing in a bar.  I wouldn't change a thing about it.  :)

Personally that recording sounds utterly fantastic to me. It may just be because it reminds me fiercely of "The hero of Canton" but with a subject matter that is far more dear to me, but I thought it was of professional quality. You are truly talented, it was a wonderful piece of work. Thank you for it. (I now have it on my iPod)

You have always been the best of people for your work on this. I truly appreciate every year you ran the drive, it helped me feel like a hero. If there is anything at all I can do to reciprocate, just say the word. I feel like I owe you (And Tony, and Codewalker, and so many others) so much. You guys made City of Heroes what it was to me.

Thank you.

I'll blast that song for my whole neighborhood to hear once we get the client running again!
