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.

The Library
Front: The Library
Back: Study Hard, Party Hard
I visited Gabe in Corvallis, Oregon during the summer of 2005. While there, we played pool and drank heavily at a bar called The Library. I remember stealing two or three pilsner glasses with The Library logo on them, and feeling kind of bad about it the next day. I would find out a few weeks later that the place went out of business, so they probably would have thrown the glasses out anyway. I didn’t feel so bad about it then. Now, all I have to remember my trip to The Library are those stolen glasses and this t-shirt.
And yes, before you ask, I did in fact pay for the t-shirt.

but... maybe the loss of the glasses forced them to go out of business.
One of the bars at Notre Dame got closed down (too many underage people) and then reopened as The Library. People my age, who loved Finnegans (what it was before) hated The Library, but all the younger kids thought it was awesome to have a bar (that let in 12 year olds) that they could tell their parents they were going to...
