I'm Sorry / Tickle Pickle / Do the Robot!

Sorry for the lack of updates this week, as it has been an awesome week for shirts! I am currently in Toronto for a hockey tournament and it's awesome here. I got to see the Stanley Cup yesterday and a bunch of old school hockey paraphernalia. I'll be here until Monday and I hope no one else asks me if I want "gravy on my fries" or "cheese on my toast". All three of these were woot purchases; from Tuesday, Wednesday, and today (Saturday)!

Shirt #1 for this week: "I'm Sorry" from Tuesday's shirt.woot:

I'm Sorry

This shirt rules for various reasons. The main reason being this photo that was taken between my freshman and sophomore years of college when I escorted a friend of mine around Philadelphia:

sorry, philly edition

Shirt #2 for this week: "Tickle Pickle" from Wednesday's shirt.woot:

It took me all day to figure out if I wanted this one (mostly because of the Lemon Yellow tee), but after I realized that I smiled every time I looked at it, I got it. Totally cute...and...I totally love pickles. The bird on top is super cute, too. Rock and Roll. Two Woot! purchases in a row!

Shirt #3 for this week: "Do the Robot!" from today's shirt.woot (Saturday):

These guys look like the dudes from DEVO, which is hilarious. This design won 2nd place in Woot's "Dance" derby and I love the crap out of it.

There were a couple Threadless shirts I wanted to get this week, but I may hold off until they have a sale...I'm not exactly a fan of paying $18 for a t-shirt...we'll see.

Love is Simple

So, after deciding to buy pretty much every Akron/Family album on vinyl from their online store in honor of the release of their 4th full length album "Set 'em Wild, Set 'em Free" today, I snagged a sweet tee as well. I was mostly stoked that they stocked xs American Apparel shirts...and these are those super soft tri-blend track shirts (50/50 mmmmm).

Also note: it's not gray...if you know me, gray is a problematic color when a) it's summer or b) I'm drinking. Sweet. They're playing a show tonight in Cambridge...and in about 30 minutes they're doing a "special acoustic set" at Newbury Comics at the Newbury street location downtown. Buy the new album! It sounds awesome :)

Starving for a Hug!

I'm starving for some lunch right now...but will hold on that for a much needed update. Nothing last week in the t-shirt department tickled my fancy, but this week seems to be starting out just fine with this cute tee from teextile.

Other than the ridiculous amount of time it takes for one to receive a tee from teextile (which they so conveniently decided to explain when you check out now...kudos!) I have no other issues with this place. And here's a plus: if you vote for the design, they ship it to you free! I actually voted for this one a while back, so I get to save a couple dollars on the shipment....awesome. Not too shabby for a Monday...especially since I'm suffering from some sort of allergy / cold combination. ROCK AND ROLL.
