[If you're wondering why this post has come up just a few hours after this one for a
20% off coupon at Simplified Clothing, I actually wrote this post about two weeks ago and forgot to publish it, so here it is!]
When I was in Philly, I actually kind of looked forward to doing my laundry down in the depths of my building, there was something about the domesticity of it that made me feel more like I was living in America rather than just on an extended holiday. But, and here’s the thing, whilst I enjoyed it in one way, there was no way that I was going to do more than 1 washing session a week, so I’d load up two machines set them off on cold, and if I owned anything that didn’t get clean on that cycle, well, it was just going to have to wait until next week when I’d give it another go (well, in extreme circumstances I might soak something in the sink, but that was as far as I was willing to go). Basically, I took as little care over my garments as is possible, a situation that probably came from the attitude of “meh, if I ruin it I’m sure someone will send me a new tee at some point.”* Internet, you’ve made me lazy! (but please don’t stop sending tees)

*As I was typing that sentence my brother walked in and handed me a new t-shirt, seriously. [well, at the time it happened, but as I said, this post is a couple of weeks old now, so it's kind of not true now]
I feel like I may have asked this before but it bears repeating. Where can I buy
T-World (sometimes just called
T) magazine on the internet without it being a total ripoff?
I’m sure I’ve seen it for sale somewhere but the price was getting on for $40 for it to be delivered to my door, and whilst I’d like to get my hands on it, that seems a bit extreme. I’m going to try my favourite store in Manchester today since they had 1 copy of the 1st issue, but I’m not getting my hopes up. If anyone has any idea I’d really appreciate it because I really enjoyed the issues I’ve managed to buy. I believe that the picture above shows the latest issue, so keep a lookout!
I don’t know how many HYAers are located in the North West of England, but there’s probably one or two of you, and it’s entirely possible that you like rock music, and watching bands play live. If that’s the case, I wholeheartedly recommend that you check out my good friends
Decorate in Flames at
The Ritz in Manchester. I’ll be there, so if by some bizarre coincidence you’re there and you read this site, say “Hi” because it would make my
dayyear and then all my friends would think I was actually famous on the internet, and I might buy you a beer.
And if you can’t make it, listen to their songs anyway!
I was under the impression that the Black Rock Collective store only sold items that had been contributed to by every member of the collective, but clearly I am wrong, as this tee is by ‘just’ two designers. Of course, you don’t need lots of people to make a great tee (one is usually enough), and in this case two is the magic number because this is one damn fine tee.
