Burn it up!

I just discovered People Like Us, and I feel like I've been under a rock or something. Their site is so totally the coolest. Love the 'What's in Stock' feature, even if it is complete BS (who knows?), and their Artist and Design tabs for each shirt are hilarious. Here's a little snippet of the designer's comments about this t-shirt:

It could be a moving tribute to Lt. Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw who died a top gun. RIP Goose. It could also be a showcase of one of the most excellent paper airplane designs of this century or last. Perhaps just the best t-shirt on the planet... You decide.

Awesome.

On Blogging Vacation

You know how when you start doing 'important' stuff in your real life, blogging gets a seat on the backburner. That's been me lately, obviously. Met a girl. Went to Hawaii. Bought some t-shirts. Didn't have a whole lot of time to write.

I finally took advantage of all my saved-up vacation time and went over to Kona for a little sunshine. This winter in Seattle has been beyond brutal. So, I'm sitting in my hotel room, flippin' channels with a cup of coffee (can you believe the hotel gives you Starbucks with the coffeemaker--unbelieveable), and what do I see? An ad for Desteenation Shirt Co. in Kailua. WTF? As I've said before, I'm totally into this t-shirt company, and now it seems like they're following me or something.

Anyway, I walked down to the Kona Inn shopping center (very touristy, by the way), and couldn't believe all the cool places on their wall. I pretty much planned my entire Big Island exploration right there in that t-shirt shop. I'll give you a shirt/place rundown after I unpack and do my pile 'o laundry this weekend.

Oh yeah, turns out the little hottie in this video works at the Kona store (and she's jailbait).

Lebowski

Best movie ever. Seriously. If you didn't like The Big Lebowski then we will never be friends. I have no patience for you. The Dude is one of the greatest characters ever put on film, and anyone who knows me in the real world (and I guess now, online) can attest to my man-crush on Sam Elliot. His scenes in this movie are beyond brilliant.

I plan to get me one of these Dude Abides t-shirts and wear it around my apartment . In my bathrobe.

Make your own adventure

I just lost the last hour screwing around over at Innertee. It's my favorite new time-suck. I spent ages picking out three different designs, agonized over the placement and color and then happened to click back to the homepage and fell in love with this shirt done by another customer. Typical.

Bookish

Ian Leino's Voyage to Discovery tee over at Threadless is right up my alley. Love the design. The obscured book spines and the ripped pages--the pop-up effect is original and something I just want to wear. Add to that the fact that I can get it in a brown, long-sleeved shirt, and I am sold.

Bauhaus T-shirt

Desteenation just launched the Bauhaus t-shirt, which is from my local coffeehouse where I stop almost every day to load up on my first quad americano of the day (I know, my addiction is out of control). The coffee at this place is awesome, and it just has that perfect neighborbood hangout feel. As for the shirt, I'm loving that Desteenation is offering this one on American Apparel, and those colors are calling my name. I can't wait to get it (ordered it online this time 'cuz I won't be down in Fremont this week, and plus they've got Free Shipping) and wear it in when I pick up my morning buzz this week.

Rapture's a bitch

One of my all-time favorite shirt designs that I can't bring myself to buy because I can't imagine myself wearing is this one by Sack Wear. Whenever I look at their site, I imagine a bunch of people sitting around coming up with this shit, and I wish I were a fly on the wall. Most of my day is spent surrounded by geeks talking about code. No humor whatsoever.

I'm off to get drilled this afternoon. So I set myself up with five new Netflix movies (yes, I'm a five-at-a-timer, so what?) to get me through a potentially painful weekend on the couch, doped up on Vic0din. It's a good excuse to vegetate for days on end.
