5 - Just Kickin' It

If you know me, you've probably seen me wear this shirt. I got this at a work picnic for my team winning the annual kickball game. I dont think there has been a picnic since that I haven't gotten a tshirt for doing so. I play hard.

4 - Mountain Asleep

Mountain Asleep are some totally sweet dudes from Louisville who play an interesting mix of mathy music, emotional lyrics, and fun times. I've had the privilege to play shows, tour, and do some guest spots on their records. I think they're probably one of the best bands from Louisville ever and I firmly believe they are bringing back fun shows for the kids. I think this shirt is one of the first runs of them, I got it at "This is Ours Fest" in Peoria, IL when Nice People and Mountain Asleep played. It probably needed to be heat set more before I washed it as the print is kinda faded but whatever, it rules and makes people say "Is that NELLY on yr shirt?"

3 - The Locust

The Locust are one of the most insane bands ever, and pull off their schtick and awesome time and tempo changes live. I bought this shirt a long time ago and hate it on warm days because the white circle is thickly screened and it sticks to my chest. I have been so busy today I just got around to updating this.

2 - Lords

Lords are three piece from Louisville. This shirt is actually one, if not the first tshirt design they ever had. It's not as raunchy or as many colors as a lot of their current ones and its pretty simplistic. I'm sure a few of you figured I had already given up but I'll go ahead and admit on days that I have to get up early I tend to wear whatever shirt I slept in until I come home and shower. Whatever, judge if you will.

1 - They and the Children

They and the Children were are loud and heavy hardcore band from Connecticut. It started with me booking a show for them and another band from CT, and ended up with them staying at our house for I think 4 days total. This seemed to happen quite a bit with bands considering how centrally located Louisville is to most other cities they may be playing in. So we did some hanging out, threw some night bee (aka a frisbee with a glowing light in it) across the street we lived on and ate a whole lot of food. Really awesome guys and their band shreds too, its a shame they broke up last year.

pregame

I have amassed this large collection of t shirts over the years. Maybe close to 100. I have talked and talked a big game for a few years of seeing how long I can go without wearing the same one twice.

Well here is where I call my own bluff.

Starting April 1st, I will wear a different t shirt every day until I run out of ones to wear. I will be including in each post a picture of me in said shirt, a funny story involving the shirt or maybe where I got it from (most likely it's a band shirt) and other sorts of nonsense such as that.

So stay tuned, and add this shit to yr readers and all of that.
