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.

Clutch -- Elephant Riders Tour Shirt

Let the journey begin.



Front: Clutch logo. Caption: "On the higher ground you will find..."
Back: Elephant head. Caption: "The Elephant Riders World Tour 97-98"

This is probably my favorite shirt. Yeah, that's a Napoleon Dynamite reference. Get over it.

I got it in 1997 at Mississippi Nights when I saw Clutch on their Elephant Riders Tour. I've worn it countless times since then. It's weathered and worn and I love it. That's why it's first.

Clutch is one of my favorite, if not my all-time favorite band. And I like a lot of different types of music, a lot of different bands, so that's saying something. You'll see a lot of band t-shirts on this site. Each time I post one, I'll link to their page (if it exists). Maybe you'll discover some new music. Visit Clutch here.
