“Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in.”
-Michael Corleone
Well, the TJ hasn’t officially gone into retirement just yet. Just been on a bit of a hiatus I guess. But getting a free t-shirt in the mail the other day kinda says at least someone doesn’t want me to just go away. So stick around, I’ll get motivated again soon. Maybe my slogan should be “will work for free tees” or something…
okay. Andre from London says:
“I just used the email address to contact Alex at Born Clothing. He sent me the total cost with shipping and i sent him the money via PayPal. shirts arrived a few days later .. .and they are brilliant”
so there you have it. if you want that stormtrooper crossbones shirt or anything else, go ahead and contact them.
Well, I had planned on keeping the Star Wars theme going for a couple of days with the cool Walker with one of those bell colar things on it’s head that keeps dogs from biting their feet or whatever from Go Ape Shirts, but Preshrunk beat me to the punch on it. Oh well. So even though Oddica doesn’t officially open until 12:01 a.m. on Friday, May 19, I figured I better jump right on this bad boy. As you can see, it’s the world’s dumbest stormtrooper hammering a ping pong ball past Vader. But what you can’t see is that, down in the corner (back corner I think), there is a little pic of Vader’s foot, the tip of his lightsaber and that poor, foolish stormtrooper’s hand chopped off, laying on the ground. So I apologize for jumping the gun a bit, but don’t forget to slam them with orders on the 19th, okay? I’ll try to remind you.
And speaking of Preshrunk, have you all noticed how many, I won’t say copycats, but… t-shirt blogs are out here in the blogosphere? Some of you might’ve said the same about the TJ, and I don’t blame you, but I started this site after seeing the massive list of links on iloveyourtshirt.com, but no way of knowing what was what without going there. Then somebody called me the copycat… and was introduced to Preshrunk. I had actually seen a tee guide by a dude “jamespo” way back when, but has since gone away I think. Now there’s teees (who just posted Oddica I see. Bastards! just kidding), addicteed (whose name seems to have a somewhat familiar ring to it. Fuck! They posted Oddica too!), plenty of shareasale and other affiliate posts at tshirtreview and I can’t forget apieceofshirt. I think that’s all. For today anyway. Probably more soon. WTF?! Totally uncalled for. I think the TJ might retire and focus on JustAddNoise.
Alright, I’ll stop pimpin’ Threadless after this for a while, but the sale is almost over and they added 11 new and reprints to the shop today. Thought you might like to know.
So I realize it’s been a little quiet around here for the last week. Sorry ’bout that, but I told you it would happen again didn’t I? Well, I’d like to say thanks for not bustin’ my balls about it. In looking at how many of you read this everyday, it’s got me curious as to how many tees the average person owns. Maybe it’s time to put another poll up…
Anyway, let’s start this week off with the little Aussie brand Valaa by me bloke Paul. I came across these quite some time ago when he just had photos of a few one offs and some images of other designs he had in the works. Well, now they’re printed up and ready to go, but there’s only 20 of each so get yer ass on over there before they’re gone.
It was brought up that Born (stormtrooper tee below) was a wholesale only kind of site, but the folks there say it’s not and that you can order one through the contact form. Well… actually they said:
“in writing an email. its very simple when you use the contact-formular.”
So, if you were wanting to get one but got disappointed. Go give it a try and see what happens. And let us know what happens please.
That’s right, it’s Threadless $10 Sale again! Get ‘em while the gettin’s good!
I think I’ll be getting the Chinese Peaches, Honest Tee and maybe Blog. Maybe more, depending on how many of you go buy some and hook the TJ up with street team points. So, you know… clickety, click and feed my habit.
Sale ends May 8th at midnight, by which time pretty much everything will be sold out anyway.
