I have a lot of t-shirts. I mean A LOT.
And I usually wear a t-shirt every day.On January 1st, 2006 I started wearing a different
t-shirt from my collection every day. Each day I will take a photo of the shirt I'm wearing,
tell you a little bit about the shirt, and then post the pictures on this blog.
Pointless, yes. But so is most of the stuff on the internet.
How long will this last? Beats me. I guess I'll keep doing it as long as there are shirts in my collection that I haven't
worn yet. And that's where you come in.
Send me a t-shirt! Bands, companies, products -- whatever. I’ll accept donations of t-shirts
(men's shirts, size Large, preferrably new. If used, make sure they're in good shape, please) to keep the streak alive.
Donate your shirt(s) to me at:
SASHDISH
546 White Birch Way
Hazelwood, MO 63042
You get free advertising, I get a free shirt, we all win.
PLEASE NOTE: If you're one of my friends, and you're thinking "I've got some old t-shirts that
I can send him", just FORGET IT. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not doing this to get shirts from my pals. I'm doing this to get shirts from people I don't
know.

THE END
Well friends, after scouring my closets and drawers for another t-shirt, I have come back empty handed. I am officially out of shirts.
Thanks to those who donated shirts to the cause, and thanks to all the people who visited me on my journey.
The final tally is 152 shirts, lasting from January 1st, 2006 to June 2nd, 2006. I'm pretty proud that I managed to make it to June -- at the beginning I didn't think I'd make it halfway through April.
Once again, check back over the course of this week. I'll be posting information on what shirts are available and how you can purchase them if you are so inclined.
Thanks again for visiting!

Back: names of the cast
One of these friends,
E-Liz gave me this shirt. She was in this production of The Crucible. Though I wasn't involved in theatre in high school, I hung out with the theatre kids. And the band kids. Us nerds have to stick together.
Scissorfight
Front: Scissorfight - The Wild Northeast
Back: Most Dangerous Animal
Scissorfight is a band from New Hampshire that plays really loud rock and roll music. Their lead singer has a beard that can only be described as "epic". He also goes by the name of Ironlung
(he's second from the left). I met him a few weeks ago and he's a really nice guy.
Marines
Front: Marines
Back: nothing
My pal Ron went to the US Naval Academy, then he became a Marine. My nephew also wants to become a Marine. Fortunately, I have never had the desire to become a Marine. I'm a lover not a fighter.
Humuhumunukunukukuapua'a
Front: HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA'A
Back: nothing
A coworker of mine bought this shirt for me while on vacation in Hawaii. The Humuhumunukunukukuapua'a is the state fish of Hawaii, and "humuhumunukunukukuapua'a" is the longest word in the Hawaiian language.
Let's Go Bowling
Front: Let's Go Bowling - Rude 69
Back: nothing
Remember ska music? I do. I still love it. Let's Go Bowling is a ska band from California. Some friends and I saw them back in '97, and at the show my pal Matt bought this shirt. Years later he gave it to me.
Clutch - Okinawa & Hawaii
Front: Clutch - Okinawa & Hawaii March 2006
Back: sponsors of the show
My buddy Matt is serving in the Air Force over in beautiful Hawaii. He loves Clutch too, and he was lucky enough to see them on a USO tour that went straight through his military base. He was kind enough to get me a commemorative t-shirt.
