As everyone can see, the shirts are in and quite beautiful in my opinion. The girls' ones are especially fetch. They're a baseball tee two-tone of deep heather and black.

The model pictured is the lovely Leslie, my good buddy.

I couldn't find a male model so I had to use myself. The guys' tees are straight up black. They're front pattern only and the artwork is a variation on the main logo.

flashback:

11 May 1994

We played poker and Jeremy lost his sense of humor the first night. I lost my sense of direction and my wit to Jake, so for a while he was really super funny.

I sort of incorporated the A Perfect Circle logo into it because I like the look (not necessarily the band). The good folks at Nightrider had to emulate the design I gave them and they pulled it off great.

Yes, the lettering is pink. Some complained when they heard about the coloring, but I think everybody took it ok when they discovered how it turned out. Anyway, you're not wearing yourself when you wear an official rexbasior.com t-shirt. you're wearing ME.

Fortunately and unfortunately they were extremely popular. So popular, in fact, the demand exceeded the supply. Therefore, I'm going to place another order. I have to hurry because Nightrider said they'd only keep the print film for a month. SO IF YOU WANT A SHIRT, EMAIL ME! You can reach me at jon@rexbasior.com or rexbasior@yahoo.com.

In case you're wondering, the shirts are free. Yep, pretty cool, huh? Why are they free? Because I expect you to wear them and therefore advertise for me. That way, I'll bring in more viewers and make more money (if I actually had a product or any kind of advertising).

You may ask how I can afford to be so benevolent. The only thing I can think of is karma. Since I'm nice to most people, I'm rewarded with the money necessary to pull this off. Of course if the people I hang around weren't as nice as they are, I'd probably be more of a jerk to them, so I guess the fact that I'm nice to people is really 'cuz they're nice to me. Hmm. I guess it's just a coincidence that I have the funds I need.

Things looked pretty bleak last week. I recently switched shifts at my job at Neways in Salem. Apparently the bigwigs wanted to more easily spy on the kind of performance I was putting in, so they asked me to temporarily switch from the night shift to the day. At first I was a little put off because of my bizarre sleeping schedule and ease of commute at unusual hours. But, since I wasn't in school and could use a change of pace, I gave in to their demands. A few days later they informed me that since I wasn't working nights anymore, I'd lose my 10% shift differential. In essence they DEMOTED me for doing what they asked. Someone please tell me if this is at all fair.

Anyway, karma. The next day I just happened to win a small fortune. CLICK HERE! It's almost as if the universe WANTS these shirts to be distributed throughout the world! So get one for you, get one for your friend and donate some money if you want. I'd like to see my shirts on our boys doing that bang-up job over there in Iraq.

...Oh my, I was gonna stop there, but as long as we're talkin' about shirts... I collected three new beauties today.

Some extreme stunt biker thing happened at the Gateway today and we hit up all sorts of sponsors. The Tylenol cheerleaders gave me this free shirt which was nice. It helps me identify the posers in the area.

The good people at Vans weren't quite as good. If I bought this ten dollar t-shirt I received a free cd or hat. I picked the cd and when I got home, I found a prop cd in the case. When I took it back to exchange it I told them they should give me a hat too, for my trouble. The cheapos didn't oblige and I paid them to advertise for Vans.
I didn't think I'd buy another shirt today, but I did. I actually enjoy advertising for MODified Music. My people live there. Plus I had a gift certificate there, so it was almost free.

Um... anyway, I guess I really like t-shirts.
