Does anyone have any experience silk screening?

I'm kinda interested in trying some silk screening, for t-shirts mainly. Anyone have any experience? I'm getting some fairly mixed messages about what works and what doesn't, etc, and am looking for some advice.

i've thought about it a few times, myself, but i always lose interest when i start thinking about the cost, and effort required to assemble the frames and whatnot.

a more realistic alternative might be multi-step stencils and spraypaint.

I looked into that, but then I'm stuck with only LIGHT colored shirts. I want to be able to do light lettering on dark shirts. Everyone knows black shirts look the coolest.
