I'm really flattered to be able to announce this: Neighborhoodies approached me to contribute to their new Think Ups program. The way it works, per the press release, is that "the Neighborhoodies staff chooses one blogger, writer, artist, or all-around cool person a week, and asks them to come up with one pop culture-referencing t-shirt idea a day, for one week." And so, everyday this week, a new T-shirt concept born of my brain will be unveiled. (I'm not taking credit for the actual design work, btw -- that's all Neighborhoodies. I just came up with the ideas.)
I made each of them relevant to this blog (and, by extension my interests: seriously, the biggest reason I agreed to take part is that I'm brimming with T-shirt ideas and it's time I made some a reality). There's no one better, in my opinion to help launch this initiative than Swan Brooner. Here's the first design:
You can order it here in whatever color, on whatever color. And you can check back to the Think Ups fourfour page everyday this week for a new design. But don't worry if you can't keep up. I'll do a roundup of them all at the end of the week, because I'm annoying like that.
Awesome! Keeping my fingers crossed for a Jesus Camp one, but I will certainly have to buy the Swan t-shirt!

If there's a Valerie Cherish blouse, I will seriously write you a fan letter. Complete with lip stick kiss on the back.

Dude, seriously! This is awesome! Maybe you can make a Jersey shore tribute that's like Taz on top of a dream catcher in front of a pot leaf before a rebel flag ensconced in a swastika with Calvin pissing on the whole thing!
Wait...that's _my_ dream!

Excited to see further developments!
Relatedly (but not so much), until about three months ago, I knew the lyrics to "Some Enchanted Evening" only through the voice of Fudge, and not as a component of South Pacific.

As a regular Neighborhoodies visitor, I saw the Swan shirt and immediately thought "Rich would love that!" I should have known better.
I'm restless at the possibility of a clever ANTM or BVD t-shirt!

Love that the ANTM shirt was unveiled on Wednesday. Coincidence, I think not.
Posted by: bell | August 22, 2008 at 05:51 AM
Yes! Yesss! Thank you so much for the Winston shirt. I read about this last week and just came back to see all the designs. I almost burst with happiness and bought the winston shirt immediately - I cannot wait to get it!!

Lying disguises our mortality, our inadequacies, our fears and anxieties, our loneliness in the midst of the crowd. We yearn for the comfort of familiar lies to create a more amenable reality.What do you think?

There was no reason to lecture a room full of educated, middle class people about the importance of their involvement in their child's education. I thanked Cliff afterwards for being on the panel and representing the views of every single parent that I've spoken with.
