To our fans in the areas affected by Sandy: stay strong. Our thoughts are with you. To those that aren’t, please help if you can. Canned goods are great, but they’re generally not accepted as legal tender in exchange for blankets & such. You know things are rough when we’re operating within a soup-based economy. I mean, it could be worse…but you don’t wanna know about it.
• Kudos for the sly nod to NOT drinking and driving
• Beer > heist money
• That’s a lot of off-duty cops in that bar
• “Made From Beer” is a slogan straight out of Idiocracy
In other drinking-related news:
I’ll be selling my wares this weekend (Saturday AND Sunday) at the Baltimore Comic Convention in the Baltimore Convention Center. Our good friend John at Ex-Boyfriend’s unofficial “sponsor bar” Bad Decisions is knocking a whopping 10% off the tab of anyone who comes in Saturday or Sunday wearing Ex-Boyfriend gear! A pretty sweet deal from the best bar and lifestyle label Charm City has to offer!
Admission to the con is super-cheap — just $25 for Saturday, $20 for Sunday, or $40 for both! If you’re a panicking Yankees fan, come out for the nerds during the day, catch the game across the street with us in the evening, and then get crunk at Bad Decisions to drown your sorrows after the O’s win! Just hop in the closest cab and say “Fells Point, corner of Fleet & Washington”!
Finally, if you’ve been itching to get a Fuzz Aldrin, Catnip Freakout, or Fidel Catro shirt for yourself or a friend, September is the month to do it. Why? Because Ex-Boyfriend has teamed with Jackson Galaxy and Spirit Essences to support the worthy cat rescue group Kitten Associates! Throughout the month of September, Ex-Boyfriend is donating $5 from the sale of tees & hoodies featuring these three designs to Kitten Associates, so snap ‘em up yourself, or help us spread the word!
Full disclosure: my friends Adrienne & Tony like to send blog fodder my way because they know *gasp* that I need help finding stuff to share with you guys. I would scour the interwebz myself, but no one else is designing epically awesome t-shirts & stuff, so I get busy.
Anyway, Adrienne sent me the link to MakeUpAndBeautyBlog.com a couple weeks ago — you know, because of my well-known liquid eyeliner addiction.
So I met Tabs, a MALE cat being forced to wear chunky jewelry. I would almost want this sort of thing classified as animal abuse…but he looks so fetching!
I also am somewhat perturbed by the lack of Ex-Boyfriend cat-themed gear in this post, but given the plethora of pics featuring Tabs, I figure I’ll let Karen slide. She seems like good people.
Black-footed cats Godiva & Wyatt of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo just welcomed two new kittens into the world earlier this month, and they. Are. Awesome.
Also, not to sound all broken record-y, but if you’re in the mid-Atlantic this weekend and would like to stretch your legs and see some cute critters up-close, please come support the Maryland SPCA at their 17th annual March for the Animals at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, Maryland this Sunday morning (4/29/2012) from 10am to 2pm! There’ll be food vendors, demonstrations, training classes, plus the Maryland SPCA’s mobile adoption center for those of you who might want to welcome a new member into your family!
Oh, right — I’ll be there too! I’ll be selling the usual suspects: tees, messenger bags, art prints, belts, etc, plus handing out TONS of free swag!
