Today we start Shirts Make The Guy "Overtime." Size: XL | Fabric: 100% Cotton | Made by / in: Fruit of the Loom / Honduras Had Since: 2/24/2013 | Price: FREE! | Times Worn: 0 I did all this every day for over a year...What was I thinking? I spent the entire morning doing listening and reading research to write this post, then spent the better part of an hour this afternoon taking the picture and struggling with technology to get the images transfered into my laptop. And I still have to Write It. I miss getting the chance to be part of your reading routine, yes, but I certainly don't miss the time suck of this project. Enough complaining - It's good to be back, and I'm glad to see you again. It's been just over a month since I wore my final shirt, and since then I've acquired three more to tell you about, including this one. I told you about folding and sorting the original collection, and am pleased to report that I've got the Rush and Smashing Pumpkins shirts hung in the closet, and big stacks of Fangamer and band shirts on my table, but the overflow stacks have once again found their way onto my couch. That's a bummer, but until I figure out Somewhere Else for them to live it will have to do. I've seperated out a pile of garments to donate, so I'll have a total update to mention soon...hopefully I can keep myself from buying more shirts while I'm making my delivery (no promises). In the real world - outside of fanatical T-shirt collecting - since the end of my project, I got a haircut and played a musical at a local high school, have started calorie counting and successfully shed a few pounds, and have completed/continued a number of video games the blogging pre-empted last year. ...So, yeah, nothing much. Today's first "Overtime" shirt (and next week's) came to me the weekend directly after I concluded this business, when the sun was shining and the birds were singing and I was relieved to be done and never never wanted to type another word about shirts ever ever again. This one and its companion were hesitantly given to me at church by Todd - at the exuberant urging of his wife, Laura - with the specific instruction that I was under no obligation to write about them. He didn't want to force me into continuing against my will, which I appreciated...though I can't honestly say Laura felt the same ("What will I read now!?"). Part of me cried on the inside, but the pesky part of me that loves new shirts and loves writing laughed and said "Of course I'm going to write about them!" And now here we are, though as you can see, it took me over a month to work up the nerve to start doing this again. Apparently some people - we'll call them "normal" - occasionally look in their closets and decide it's time to get rid of some of thier shirts. Or so the legend goes. Some of these normal people don't even own Hundreds of shirts, yet knowlingly part with some of them to "thin out" their already anorexic wardrobes. This all sounds very strange, I know, but it happens. And when you're very lucky, or very good (...or both, like someone I know) you can benefit from this bizarre habit of normal folk by aqcuiring their old threads. Such is the tale of how this shirt, featuring a portrait of jazz guitar legend Django Reinhardt, found its way to me! A Huge THANK YOU! goes out to Todd for being normal, and one more goes to Laura for pressuring him into sending it my way!
I didn't know anything about Django Reinhardt (that's a lot of weird letters...I'ma copy & paste it from here on to ensure accuracy) when he gave me this, so I spent the morning on YouTube and Wikipedia getting acquainted with the man and his music, and found the whole process quite enjoyable. Django was a Romani guitar virtuoso active in the first half of the 20th century, mainly in France and thereabouts in Europe, and has been a major influence on practically everyone who's played six strings since. He's esteemed as one of the greatest players of all time, not least of all because of a crippling handicap he overcame: Two of his fingers on his left hand were partially paralysed in a fire in his late teens, but he relearned to play and became a jazz pioneer and legend. He was apparently quite a character during his short life, but was sadly taken from us too early at only 43 years old. 60 years later, though, you can jump on your computer and be thrilled by his wonderful musicianship and delightful sound, just by following some of these links! Check out "Minor Swing," "Nuages," and "Daphne," for a start. Then move on to my favorites of the morning, "Brasil" and an exceptional recording of "Honeysuckle Rose" with Duke Ellington. You can hear a lot of where B.B King's awesome sound came from in these recordings of Django, and I'm sure I'll start hearing the roots of a bunch of my other favorites as I pursue more of Mr. Reinhardt's music. I'm looking forward to hearing more of his hot tunes, and I'll owe it to this sweet shirt! This shirt is quite comfortable, with a well-cut neckline (little throwback comment for Todd...I see what I did there) and ample sleeve lengths. The print itself is soft and undamaged, and the low-contrast, monochromatic nature of the graphic gives the garment an appropriate look of class and dignity. The picture is perhaps the most iconic of Django, but most of the results on Google are Very similar in composition (guitar, cigarette, thin moustache), so almost any shot of him would be immediately recognizable by a fan. I dig this shirt, so I'll probably keep it around for a while, and thank Todd once again for the threads and introducing me to yet another incredible artist!
January 20, 2013 - Snarky Sunday
I'm joined today by fellow Willow Hill Praise Band members/role models/friends - Todd and Rudy! Size: XL | Fabric: 100% Combed Cotton | Made by / in: American Apparel / Downtown LA Had Since: 12/23/2012 | Price: FREE! | Times Worn: 0 Dear reader: Do your ears like music? Yes? Do they know about Snarky Puppy? No? Stop what you're doing, find some headphones, and open one of these links as fast as you can: Bent Nails, The Good Man Deliver And The Best Is Blessed, Thing of Gold, Young Stuff You're welcome. Snarky Puppy is a an awesome band of some of the most talented instrumentalists you're likely to find anywhere on planet Earth, as you now recognize from having listened to one or all of the above links (and a bunch of the "related videos," too, if you know what's good for you). Todd and I were introduced to this collective just recently by Rudy, Thane of Music, and I am so thankful that he shared them with us, and am so glad that I have this venue to share them with you. Todd was far wiser than I was - he found the time to open the links in Rudy's email long before I did, so he enjoyed Snarky Puppy for an extra month or so before I got around to it. Never again will I delay that long when someone tells me to check something out...because I might be missing out on something as wholly awesome and immensely fantastic as Snarky Puppy! A few days before Christmas there was a small gift bag waiting for me at church, perched on my stool on stage, and an excited Todd & Laura (his brilliant wife) were practicing their harmonica and keyboards (respectively) while impatiently waiting for me to arrive. When they finished their tune Laura turned and said something to the effect of, "Open it! Open it! Open it!" I laughed and stopped tuning, then reached into the bag and felt the familiar touch of beautiful combed cotton on my fingertips. Once I had pulled it out, smiled a silly I-just-got-a-sweet-present type smile, and started thanking them for this great shirt, Todd popped open his button-down shirt to reveal the exact same garment!
And then there was much more rejoicing when Rudy pulled out the same shirt from his gift bag! What a fantastic gift! Todd & Laura are two of the most excellent people I'm lucky enough to know, and it is a total blessing to play and worship with them each Sunday. They also happen to be some of my most loyal readers, and they were both so happy to now finally join the ranks of Shirts Make The Guy contributors, which means they're now entitled to all the honors and benefits occurring thereto...and a Huge THANK YOU! I'm gonna send an extra Huge THANK YOU! their way - That one's from Rudy. Playing with both of them (and everyone else in the praise band) is one of the most joyful parts of my life, and I can't thank them enough for the shining example they set as friends, parents, spouses, musicians - as Humans. If I had my selfish way they'd be a dozen years older, or a dozen years younger...so I suppose that means they're perfect just the way they are. They knew I'd love this shirt three-fold; Snarky Puppy is phenomenal, their logo is boss, and it's printed on an American Apparel garment. I mean, come on...a dog wearing headphones? Yes! Thanks go out to Ethan for taking today's photo, and an extra effort award goes to Rudy for driving back home before the service to change into his SP shirt! I can't encourage you hard enough to go check out Snarky Puppy, tell all your friends about them, and buy their music and swag. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, and I thank them for their inspiring new sounds and ultra-inspiring musicianship!
December 16, 2012 - Maybe Bob's Your Uncle
Raise a glass with me - To Bob! Size: XL | Fabric: 100% Cotton | Made by / in: Gildan / Haiti Had Since: 5/27/2012 | Price: FREE! | Times Worn: 0 We've reached the oddest shirt in my collection, so buckle up: It's time to celebrate Bob.
When Skylar gave me this shirt I laughed, I was puzzled, and then I was sad. I don't know this Bob, but assumed it was one of Sky's many, many friends, and that this was a silly prank shirt. But then I found out that, unbelievable as it is, Skylar did Not know Bob (re: Sky knows Everyone). Puzzling. Then I found out Bob is no longer with us. Sad. You've probably seen people wearing shirts honoring and depicting departed loved ones, a practice I really don't know how to feel about. This one, if I understand the story correctly, wasn't meant to be one of those. My prayers go out to Bob's family and friends, wherever and whomever they may be. Let me relate the story to you as I recall it...I might get some of it wrong, or forget something, so I apologize. Bob was struggling with medical issues, and a benefit was planned to help raise money for his expenses. Skylar's Dad, Tom (wonderful musician), and his band were hired to play the benefit. When the band arrived to play, they found out that Bob hadn't made it, so the benefit was turned into a remembrance celebration. They played, and then they were given these T-shirts, and everybody went home. Tom suggested that he might wear this shirt for pajamas, an idea that Sky's Mom shot down quite quickly. And so the shirt came to me. A Huge THANK YOU! goes out to Sky and his whole family, all of which played a part in this shirt coming my way. I didn't know him, but I'm glad I could help celebrate Bob's life. I don't think I'll be wearing this shirt again, as it's a bit awkward, but it is comfortable and well-made. Again, my sympathies to Bob's family - I hope you can continue to celebrate his life and remember him fondly.

November 19, 2012 - Bienvenidos!
...Welcome! Size: XL | Fabric: 100% Cotton | Made by / in: Sartex / Mexico Had Since: 1/15/2012 | Price: FREE! | Times Worn: 0 This is a souvenir shirt from a trip to the beautiful city of Monterrey in Mexico. It features a lot of colorful graphics that depict the local landmarks and attractions, and is dominated by Cerro de la Silla, just like the city itself. This shirt was designed to bring back fond memories of one's trip to Monterrey, and I'm sure it would do just that had I ever been to Monterrey. I've never been anywhere in Mexico, actually. Hey, this must not be my shirt!
This is the fourth and final shirt that was generously donated to this cause by Gail & Charlie, a lovely couple I know from church. A huge THANK YOU! goes out to them for all the garments they sent my way, including this one that probably brings back fond memories of their trip to Mexico! I appreciate their help and their donations, and sincerely hope they won't mind that this is the one and only time I'll be wearing it! Gail told me she didn't want any of these back, so after I check to make sure that's still accurate I'll be sending this one off to Goodwill, to find a new home with someone who needs it more than I do. I'm sure Monterrey is a cool place, but this shirt has seen better days. The blue and greens in the print were done in such a thick layer of ink that they are now slightly sticky to the touch, and there's a whole collection of stains and marks near the bottom, the lasting scars of something that must have gone horribly awry while this was riding somebody's torso. The garment was made in Mexico, so that's nifty; so often you buy a souvenir and come to find out it was made in a completely different place, so it's cool that this one was born and raised where it was eventually sold. The fabric is a bit stiff, and it could stand to be a little longer in the back for my tastes. Thanks again to Charlie & Gail for all the shirts and support, and I hope this post has given them one more chance to smile at this shirt before it begins a new adventure with someone else!
October 7, 2012 - Three Strikes
...I am completely miserable, San Diego. Size: XL | Fabric: 100% Cotton | Made by / in: Gildan / Honduras Had Since: 3/30/2012 | Price: FREE! | Times Worn: 0 This shirt...*sigh* This shirt was a generous donation by my friends Brett and Gabby, whom custom dictates receive a Huge THANK YOU! When I started this project I was begging for shirts, because I honestly didn't think I could get to 366 on my own, and because I thought it would be fun for people to be able to give me shirts they wanted me to wear. You know...free advertising for their causes, or products...I assumed they might donate things they thought I might look good in, or that would appeal to one of my interests...something I could at least speak fondly of, both here and upon wearing them again in the future. But no. It unexpectedly turned into a somewhat revealing study of human nature, and I was fascinated; I very quickly realized that Most peoples' first thought when I made that plea for help was, "Can I give you a shirt you won't like!?" And, as I was begging, I couldn't very well turn down a free shirt. That brings us most of the way to this shirt. I mentioned yesterday that I specifically wear that terrifying Smashing Pumpkins shirt to torment my buddy, Brett. A big part of our relationship is lovingly tormenting each other, which - in my defence - I do only in response to him doing something to torment me. He tormented me, naturally, in response to something I did to torment him, which was obviously done in retaliation for him tormenting me. But it's okay, because he was only tormenting me because I tormented him first (which I never would have done had he not tormented me to begin with). And that, friends, brings us the rest of the way to this shirt.
I think Brett and Gabby were both delighted when they realized they could give this shirt to me, which they got from...Gabby's parents? Maybe? I don't remember the full story, but what I DO remember is that they knew full-well that I would not like it, hence their delight. Thanks again, kids. Let's have a look at this garment and its crimes against my torso. As I've mentioned, I'm no great drinker. I enjoy a few fingers of whiskey from time to time, but never developed much of a taste for alcoholic swill outside of that. As such, I've never had any desire to advertise for the beer companies...Strike one. And as I've mentioned, on multiple occasions, I'm no great sports fan. I enjoy watching football (soccer, to you) and a bit of ice soccer (hockey, to you), and anything to do with the Olympics (...the Olympics...to you...), and like to participate in disc golf, bowling, and kickball (...to you). You'll note that our national pastime is not included anywhere on that list, as I find baseball to be...let's just say I don't try to Find baseball, period. Yeah, that'll do. Anyway...Strike two. And strike three? The sleeves of this shirt are unlike any other in my collection; they're short-short sleeves! If you couldn't tell from the first picture, allow me further illustrate the problem:
The red shirt is one with what I would call "normal" sleeves. Notice that these sleeves are about two inches shorter than that, which is just...weird! What is this shirt? Did the baseball and beer people get them at a discount because they used less sleeve material? I certainly hope so. In fact, I hope this was the product of a mistake on the factory floor, and instead of destroying the garments they were donated and made into (what I assume was) a free give-away at a sporting event. I refused to wear the sleeveless shirts in my collection without a real shirt underneath, so this is probably the most uncomfortable I've been all year. The remains of my Postal tan are very exposed, and I feel exposed and self-conscious. So, yeah...Strike three, this one's out! "Out" to Goodwill, naturally. I wore this one to church today, at Brett's request, but didn't abide by All his unreasonable demands. He challenged me to wear it uncovered, for all the congregation to be subjected to it, but I couldn't bring myself to that. I wore a nice red button-down over it, and then applied a suit jacket over that...as an extra layer of protection against it. In case you were wondering, that ladybug Pillow Pet in the first picture was also a gift from Brett, meant to torment me (re: I'm afraid of ladybugs), and will also be going to Goodwill soon. Maybe I'll put this shirt on it when I send them away together! Thanks again to Brett and Gabby, no matter their malicious intent, and thanks to Leah for taking today's lovely picture. ...can I please take this shirt off now? Not until I go to bed? Man, I need a drink.
