BRAINZZZ!!!

So. I'm 25 now...how 'bout that! This weekend was packed full of exciting things...including a trip to Philadelphia to see the Bruins kick some major Flyers ass. It was an exciting game...and honestly...I was torn on which jersey to wear...but ended up picking the right one ;) We even made it on TV back in Boston. Check out a screen shot from NESN:

Anyway...I know you only care about t-shirts so here we go. I picked this one up yesterday from TeeFury. Zombies are totally hip...and so are these Obama campaign looking pictures. What an awesome combination.

I also had a little bit of fun tooling around on the internetz today...as evidenced by the following:

Peace out, homies.

To the Stars!

Teextile is a relatively new t-shirt company. They feature 5 designs a week (one a week day) based on your votes. I regret not buying an awesome one last Monday, but have sort of made up for it with today's t-shirt.

To the Stars!

Rock. Today is my last full day in Austin, TX and I plan on getting a haircut at a punk rock barbershop on E. 6th street. We'll see how well they can butcher my hair into something more manageable and awesome.

Flatstock 2009

So, these are obviously not t-shirts, but wicked sweet none-the-less. I picked up some awesome posters at Flatstock this year:

There were some pretty cool shirts at Flatstock, too but I had already spent all of my money on sweet posters. This week has been really awesome. Tonight I get to see Explosions in the Sky at some outdoor venue by the lake. Should be monumental.

Spring Cleaning - Threadless Style

Threadless is having a "spring cleaning" sale, letting you get a whole bunch of tees for either $5 or $10. Here's what I picked up from them today:

Good stuff! Also: I have like absolutely no time to write this entry because I still need to make my schedule for SXSW. I also totally need to get a haircut today and I'm not sure if that's going to happen because I have hockey tonight and need to be ready to go by 8:15pm. AWESOME.

Maybe I'll pick up some quality tees in Texas.

Until then,
Brooke

More unicorns and ridiculousness in MA

Thursday must be t-shirt day, as I have found some other awesome shirts to procure today. Without even having to peruse the Cotton Factory website to find this amazing unicorn shirt, I instantly added it to my cart. It's even ON SALE (add $3.00 if you're a lady, though...ugh)!

I believe...

I remembered that there was another shirt on this site I was looking at a while ago, but never purchased because I didn't want to pay $8.50 for the shipment of one shirt.

After living in Massachusetts for almost 3 years now, I now fully understand the absolute ridiculousness of the names and pronunciations of towns. This lake is actually really close to where my BFF from work grew up and she says the name flawlessly. I make her say it at least once a day now. Anyway...this lake is totally real:

I'm pretty happy with these purchases...especially the magical beast one! Also, Cotton Factory is having a sale until March 9th celebrating Daylight Savings Time. They're offering 10% off your order if you use promotional code "snooze". It's not much, but if you're planning on buying a tee or two anyway, go for it.

GRRRRR.

Today's design win goes to TeeFury.com. There was something that made my eyes sparkle the first time I looked at this tee. This isn't a typical "Brooke" shirt...but for some reason...I love it to pieces. From what I understand, this fine gem of a shirt was designed and drawn entirely on a tablet in black & white and color was added for the final shirt design. It's gorgeous. I cannot wait to sport this when it finally gets to me.

The other thing that makes me want to make out with TeeFury is the fact that their shirts are 100% affordable and shipping is totally cheap. The shirts end up costing a total of $11 for FedEx SmartPost shipping (which takes kind of a long time...oh well) or you could splurge and spend $17 for probably faster, trackable shipping. I don't think it's worth it to spend almost as much on shipping as you do for the shirt, haha.
