5 MORE G's TO HELP FLOOD RELIEF, WOOT! L33T TALK IS FUN. ROFLAMO LOL. I'm such a n00b.
So, just incase if you can’t tell by the above image, Shopify® threw a contest and we almost won $100 G’s. {The “WE” meaning the royal “WE” of Nashville Flood Tees.} We were a very close runner up to DodoCase® but managed to still win $5,000 dollars. {Personally I thought we won a pizza party for the whole class room, but $5 G’s is cool.} The winnings are being directed back towards the heart of NashvilleFloodTees, the charities helping with the clean up efforts. The contest consisted of who can sell the most product within a 2 month period of a 6 month gap. We narrowly made the contest in time to compete, but due to Nashvillians being so amazing, flood tees almost won the whole shebang. Many thanks go out to all who bought t-shirts and helped rebuild our wonderful city nestled in the heart of Tennessee.
There’s a nice little write up in the blog of Tim Ferris (Author of the 4 hour work week). If interested you can read that here: fourhourworkweek.com/blog
The NY times also does a way better job than me explaining about the whole thing, Check it out: here
So in this years annual “You are so Nashville if…” issue of the the Scene, the winner David Anthony won with this little piece of gold; “Your city flooded and all you got was a lousy T-shirt.” While we might be the butt of that joke, we know it’s simply a joke, and WE THINK IT’S AWESOME! The top entries we’re all illustrated by SF CA’s Fred Noland, and the winner’s made the cover! So go snag up a copy, and make sure you let everyone know that those “lousy shirts” were able to donate $120,000 thus far to aid Nashville flood relief.
Oh, and thanks to Fred for putting one of our designs on what looks to be Elvis Costello carrying a stand up bass! Our aim was true after all!
“You’re so Nashville if… you’d rather pay a guy from California to draw your illustrations instead of the countless local talent.” Don’t get us wrong, we think ole Fred is awesome and a master of his craft. But how bout stimulate the local economy a little.
WE’VE GOT FOOTBALL FEVER! The only cure for the fever is going to be a US Victory! We play Ghana on Saturday, June 26th – 1:30pm, tune in! In the mean time, check out some of the awesome World Cup posters from over the past 60 years + this killer logo for the England’s WC 2018 Bid.
Don’t be swindled by that logo though – you can sign the petition to get the World Cup back to the USA here: http://www.gousabid.com
Tonight is the CMT Music Awards celebrating the best country music videos of 2010. Check out the work we had the privilege to do for CMT Red Carpet that starts at 7PM central time tonight.
So, I’m currently interning here at ST8MNT and wanted to share this. Consider this a guest post i’m Josh Shearon…get stoked. Rick K & The Allnighters are going to take over the world.
Josh’s good friend at texaSUS design had a sweet idea to use her design skills for good and not evil. Since floods suck, texaSUS is donating 100% of the profit to help Nashville’s rehabilitation from the flood. St8mnt helped make the online store and decided to throw some designs up to help the cause. You can find her and our shirts for sale at the link below. Be sure to friend the effort on the ole’ facebook too. Keep on the look out for the ‘Piranha Survival’ and ‘Nashville-Noah’s Ark’ kid’s shirt.
Fridays here at ST8MNT we like to shake things up musically with a little European inspired Heart pounding EuroBeat Techno. Gotta love that synth Distortion. ¡Makes me wanna go play some Fütböl!
We think you to should have a EuroTrashTechno Friday too:
I love this packaging that was design by hip hop album designer legend Brent Rollins. This package proves that this isn’t Brent’s first rodeo. In fact, ole Brent merits “legend” status solely for the fact that he created the Mos Def / Talib Kweli Blackstar cover. This Freeway and Jake One album package is so sick, maybe there’s a reason to literally purchase music again? Check the cheesy presentaion video above.
I’m heading to store to buy this right after work.
