Before I went to Philly I didn’t have any understanding of why people would watch baseball. It just looked so slow, I would put it on TV in my apartment whilst I was working away and it was as if nothing was happening, it was like white noise on the TV. Yes, there were moments of interest, but otherwise even the commentators didn’t seem that interested.
However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so me, my main man Tigg and my BPFF (Best Philly Friend Forever) Hillary headed down to Citizens Bank Park to watch the Phillies play some loser team since it was 2-for-1 tickets. We ate hot dogs and drank overpriced Yeungling beer, and shook hands with the old dude next to me when the Phillies hit a homer. Going to watch baseball is not about watching baseball, it’s about hanging out with your friends and having a good time.
Oh, and then there was the time I was invited tail-gating, but didn’t know it so I turned up with nothing, and people were offering me beers and food at every opportunity and being damn friendly, it was awesome, everyone should try being the British guy hanging out in a car park drinking light beer at least once.
Pretty sweet print, too.

This tee is actually sold out so if you liked it and weren’t happy before… maybe you should go play with a kitten or something to cheer yourself up.
This is actually a quote from Louis C.K., the hilarious comedian that I saw perform in Philly about a year ago, and regular readers will be well aware by now of how much I enjoy reminiscing about my three-month skint in the city of brotherly love. Louis makes a fair point, we have loads of awesome stuff nowadays, and people are happier than ever to complain. I think one of the examples he gave was about wifi on airplanes and some guy he was sat next to complaining that it was slow or didn’t work, as if he shouldn’t be amazed that he was flying (flying!) in the air. I have the same thing about mobile phones, people will just casually say “my phone sucks.” Really? You have something that goes in your pocket that can make a call to someone else on the other side of the planet in an instant, if you showed that to someone from the 18th century they’d probably execute you for being a witch.

No idea what the name is about, I would assume that it’s a personal reference, but I certialny do like the logo-type and colour palette of this logo tee. Yes, I like a logo tee.
