better late than never
here is a shirt i just custom-upgraded today. it's a tribute to hunter s. thompson blowing his brains out. the buttonholes were hard to figure out. and i don't know how long the cotton decal paper is going to last. which makes me think it might be time to finally look into screenprinting. i was walking around the neighborhood today - looking for a black t-shirt to cut up and sew on another black t-shirt to cover the current graphics, which i found, by the way, at goodwill - and i saw a screenprinting shop. which just reinforces my opinion that every normally-out-of-the-way shop we need is within a few blocks of our house. there are two record player repair/retail shops, two typewriter repair/retail shops, a mac repair shop, a few fabric shops, an auto parts store, a cheap oil change place, a respectible auto repair garage, a gilded-age second-hand store, goodwill, the AAA store, a second-hand bookstore, a massive copy/fax center (they have a couple printing presses, too), a day spa, a post office, an art supply store, and certainly some others i'm not thinking of because these are the types of places you never think of. and all this is in addition to the de-facto neighborhood assortment of restaurants, cafes, gas stations, laundromats, parks and grocery stores.

I love book, consignment, and antique stores also flea & outdoor markets. Maybe you'll create your own business? Sell indoor compost appliances, natural soaps...earth quake beds. G :)

dude that is a pretty sewing machine. it looks fancy. i am jealous that you have several fabric stores in your neighborhood. do know of any good ones in chicago? all i can find is joanne's and that vogue fabrics on roosevelt. did hunter s. thompson blow his brains out? i don't think i knew that.
