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.

Parties At The Plaza


Front: Parties At The Plaza
Back: numerous sponsor logos

"Parties At The Plaza" is a, well, party held every third Thursday of the month, from April to October. "The Plaza" is Westport Plaza, a mall/hotel/restaurant/business complex near where I live. Right after work, tons of twentysomethings and thirtysomethings and fortysomethings head over to Westport Plaza to stand in the parking lot and drink beer and look at each other. You're probably saying to yourself "That sounds dumb, why would he go to that?" Well, here's the kicker:

I know a guy that works at a bank, and that bank is one of the sponsors of these events. The bank usually has employees 'volunteering' to work the beer tent, so you know what that means: free beer for me. I have helped 'volunteer' at the beer tent a few times too, and once I got this shirt for my efforts.

It's not a very interesting shirt, but because of the free beer thing, I felt I had to honor it in SASHDISH valhalla.
