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.

St. Louis For Peace


Front: St. Louis For Peace
Back: sponsors and bands

Right after the attacks on 9/11, my good pal (and bandmate) Mike Heeley wanted to help out. He wanted to DO something. He had the idea to make a kind of "We Are The World" song and album with St. Louis musicians. So he did. There was a big CD release party, with all proceeds and album sales going to charity to benefit the people lost in the attacks. He organized all of St. Louis' premier bands at the time, and got some of St. Louis' best producers together. The album (and project) was called St. Louis For Peace, and this is the shirt to commemorate it all.
