WHAT IS THIS?

I have a lot of t-shirts. I mean A LOT. And I usually wear a t-shirt every day.

At the end of 2005 I had the idea for this blog - starting January 1st, 2006 I would wear a different t-shirt from my collection every day until I ran out of shirts. Shirts could not be repeated. Each day I was to take a photo of that particular day's shirt, tell everyone a little bit about it, and then post it all on this blog. I also encouraged my readers to send me shirts to keep my streak going, but that didn't work out so well. I think I got two or three in the mail. The rest of the shirts were mine.

The SASHDISH experiment lasted from January 1st, 2006 to June 5th, 2006, or something like 152 shirts! Was this pointless? Probably. But so is most of the stuff on the internet.

After SASHDISH ended, I got lazy and stopped checking in on it. Then the company that owned the server that stored all of my images went out of business, and all of the photos were lost. Someday, when I'm bored, I'll go back and repost the images. Until then, I still have all of the individual shirt descriptions up, so you can read about each one. And here's a photo of the first 100 shirts: SASHDISH 100.

In case you're wondering, I got rid of most of these shirts. However, I'm still a t-shirt-a-holic and now own just as many (if not more) than I used to.

A-1 Pump


Front: A-1 Pump, Rolla, Mo. 364-3568
Back: Larger version of text on front

Alright, first off I'm changing the format of my posts. I will no longer post about a shirt on the same day that I'm wearing it. Instead, each day I will post about the previous day's shirt. It's just easier that way. For both of us. I'm sorry it has to be that way. It's not you. It's me. Can we still be friends?

My A-1 Pump shirt was obtained through my friend and bandmate Mike Heeley. His parents live near Rolla, and bought a bunch of shirts for a dollar at some auction. This is one of them. I've never been to A-1 Pump. But I have worn this shirt at many of our shows. I think it's funny because of the veiled sexual reference, implying that I work or support a company that is ranked #1 due to their pumping skills.
