It has come to my attention that the readership of this fair web site has vaulted into the mid-teens (that’s on a biannual basis, not a daily one). To celebrate this milestone and quell my doubts that the figures have been exaggerated, I’m taking a page out of the craaayyyzeee-ideas chapter of the Marketing 101 textbook I never cracked.
To determine whether I have actual readers, I’ve decided to tempt them with free crap. And is there any better variety of free crap than a free t-shirt? A custom-designed, unworn t-shirt? That happens to be brown with orange lettering? I say no.
Two summers back, to commemorate the disposal of an unsightly and uncomfortable couch from a family house, I had a bunch of the above t-shirts made (design by the awesome Johanna). They proved a huge hit among the 13 people who had been subjected to its savage caress. I wear mine often. It never fails to generate a puzzled look, followed by swift withdrawal from the immediate vicinity.
When cleaning my apartment the other day, I noticed that I have exactly seven extras: one small, two mediums, two larges, two extra-larges. So if you’ve happened upon this site and want one, send me an email with your address and preferred size, and I’ll send it out to you.
Anybody who knows me well enough to have spent time at the house is disqualified. Good luck to all.
