Kelly over at Tee Gazette is putting together a very ambitious event in Boston this summer. Essentially, it’s a trade show, a networking event, a party, a chance to learn about the business, and a gig. Obviously I won’t be there, but hopefully a lot of t-shirt people that I’ve written about on HYA will be attending and it will be a great chance for people that have connected over the internet to connect in the real world, make some business contacts, and have a damn good time.
The specifics of the event haven’t been nailed down yet, but you can find Tee Gazette’s announcement about the event here, where you can also register your interest.
Apparently, this design is based upon a closed-down steak restaurant that used to be in the Boston Celtics stadium called Scotch n’ Sirloin. Talk about a shirt for locals!
Well, perhaps not just for locals, I like the design and I don’t care about the Celtics (76ers all the way, obviously), so perhaps it’s appeal is broader than the subject matter would suggest.

As someone who has never been to Boston, though would quite like to, it’s very hard for me to really associate with this designs in a meaningful way, but I can imagine that if I were from Boston I’d think these were pretty cool, and a way to show pride for my city without resorting to crappy, touristy designs. Boston Cream have freshened up their website too and it is looking mighty clean.
Hey look, I managed to write a post about Boston without saying wicked awesome!
I was lucky enough to be invited to T-shirt Day 2009 in Berlin and I had a really great time, meeting people that loved t-shirts and the Spreadshirt/LaFraise team, and from the looks of things the events planned for 2010 are going to be even better on June 21st 2010.
Tshirt Day events are being held bars in Berlin, Boston and New York will be following a similar format to last year with the Open Runway taking centre stage (literally), meaning if you turn up wearing a t-shirt (and why wouldn’t you?) you can join me in the “dubious claims club” by saying you’re a clothing model, because anyone can go down the Open Runway, that’s why it’s open. You are also encouraged to set up your own events.
There is also a competition to win “a year of t-shirts” which works out to 52 shirts, coming from Spreadshirt and laFraise. The winner will be crowd as the T-shirt Fan of 2010. How do you win? You just have to show them how much you love t-shirts, and presumably it’s going to have to be a lot to stand a chance of winning, but I like how open this competition is, there are so many possibilities for fun entires. Find out a lot more about how to enter at this page.
Are any of you guys planning on heading to any of the events? If so, take pictures and let me know about them, I want to hear about what goes down since I can’t be there this time around.
T-shirt Day
One of the things that I like about
Johnny Cupcakes is that whilst the rest of us are sat around saying “wouldn’t it be cool if…”, he actually goes out and does it, which is why when I hear that JC is hosting a dinner party on a boat for people that purchase a special limited edition shirt, my eyebrows don’t raise a single millimetre.
Here Ye Here Ye!! Attention all Landlubbers and scurvy mates, Johnny Cupcakes be presentin!
Join Johnny Cupcakes & JC friends and family as he presents Holy Ship!
