First things first: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I realize that it is just a few days before Christmas but its never too late to send out our Seasons Greetings. For everyone who has come by and left messages and especially those of you who have already purchased shirts, thank you-thank you- thank you.  Yes-  most of your holiday shopping is probably finished and good for you, but just in case, don't forget to look through our online store and pick out something nice and original from us!

Just a quick update: very very soon we will be updating our store and adding two new items our hoodies and our pistol panties!!! These are both designs from the old days and each item has been hand pulled personally by either Rob, Mark or myself.  We are very proud of these designs and want you to have the opportunity to buy them.

Another exciting thing to look out for is our new design coming early 2009! I can't wait for that.                                               

Before I end this quick little blog I would like to ask you a favor.   We really want this blog to build a nice community here for all of you, so you may get to know us better as well as get to know each other.  So since the holidays are upon us and I know that all of you will find yourself tired and lethargic sitting around the house in a pile of wrapping paper and full bellies from holiday dinners with nothing to do but sit around feeling warm and cozy.  While you cuddle up to your computer screen with a nice cup of hot tea, hot chocolate, or coffee browsing around seeing what all of your other bored friends are doing...(let me save you some time... they are doing exactly what you are doing) I want you to find some time to post here on our blog.  Post whatever you like, I think it would be fun to hear about your funniest Christmas/"Holiday" experience or maybe your worst or best present you can remember getting. 

For me, one of my most memorable presents was my first real skateboard. It was a "Flip"- Tom Penny classic "Shroom" deck.  I was in the seventh grade just learning how to skateboard and I will never forget the feeling of opening that present- it was IT! exactly what I wanted.  I remember being so proud of getting to bring it down to Houston to my Grandma's house, finding a place to pack it in the car somewhere on top of all of the luggage so that way when we stopped for gas or to pee I could hop out of the car and ride around for two seconds just to throw it back on top again when we left.  I would say I had that skateboard for about three days before my parents approached me and said "Son, what's the deal with the paint on the bottom of the board? It seems to be chipping off."  I had never had a skateboard before but I knew that the hope of keep the design printed under the board intact forever was like... IMPOSSIBLE.   So I tried to explain to them that once I got better I would be sliding across rails and curbs- and that stuff was going to be history.  But they still thought that there had to be some sort of defect in the paint and were determined to take it back when we arrived home.  After a little more convincing I talked my parents out of returning my board which above anything would have been one of the most embarrassing things to a 13 year old boy- walking into the mall with your mom and having her tell the guy at the skateboard shop that my skateboard was defective because the paint was beginning to chip away.  So I dodged that bullet and later realized that you could buy "blank" decks that had nothing printed on the bottom to begin with for about half the price of a "Pro" printed deck.  And my life was even better. THE END.

Have some Happy Holidays everybody.
