Hello everyone. This week has been a very interesting one. As you have read, we set up a booth at the Texas Pete Ribfest last weekend. A couple of days after the ribfest, there was a lady that left a comment on our website. This is what the comment read:
"Dear Sirs, I saw your booth this weekend at The ribfest, and I was appalled. As I strong black woman, I felt that most of your shirts had racist undertones. I will tell all of my friends and family about your site and tell them not to visit. The man in the booth was very friendly, but shirts like these should not me allowed. Cheryl M"
This comment was copied and pasted, so don't call me a dumbass, the typos are not mine. We always knew that there was going to be a time when we would start getting stuff like this, but we never expected it would be so soon. In a weird sadistic way, when I read this it I could not help but view it as some measure of success. All of the designs that we come up with are meant to be funny, I guess that not all people share the same sense of humor we do. The fact that the lady was willing to track us down and take the time to leave this comment is pretty funny. We welcome all criticism, both good and bad.
Our good friend Brian shared something he made with us last weekend, It is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Hopefully, soon, I can coax him into making some more for us to sell on our site. Can't say what it is, but it is going to make drinking beer much more convenient. Brian is a very manly dude, I did not know he could use a sewing machine. He continues to amaze. By the way, Happy 1st Fathers day to Brian and Pete.
In our continued search for venues to spread our disease to, we have found a few that we are applying for. We found a moonshine festival, a heavy metal festival, a battle of the bands, and a Oktoberfest celebration. The one thing in common: Beer. We will supply more information as it is received. If you have any suggestions on places to go, please let me know. On that note, hope everyone has a good week.
Happy Father's Day,
zac
