Space Cadet Geoff

I feel like a total space cadet this morning... It's just one of those days where I don't really have my head together at all. Last night I was podcasting with Devon, it was a really good episode I think (ep033), check it out if you get a chance. But so anyhow, as always when we podcast I was drinking. And I accidentally got a bit drunk. but it really wasn't my fault. I was at the store with Devon and I decided that I wanted something other than just beer, so I was looking for one of those pre-mixed cocktails. You know, like a Jack and coke in a can or whatnot, but they didn't have any at the Safeway. Instead, all I had to choose from was the cooler section :( So I figured on a compromise and got one of those big bottles of Mike's Hard Lemonade, which is probably the most manly of girly drinks so at least I can live with myself.

Cut to like 45 minutes later and I'm about 2/3s of the way through the bottle. Oh the bottle is 1 pint, like 9.5 fluid ounces in size. So I'm like 2/3s through and I realize wow, this is kind of really hitting me, seems a bit much. And I finally actually read what the bottle says. It was a CONCENTRATE! D'oh! It was supposed to make 8 drinks! and I'd just tossed back most of it over the course of 10 minutes. So as you might imagine I had an interesting podcast after that...

Good times... good time... so this morning I haven't really got much together yet. Just trying to keep my head straight. Oh, but some awesome news. Yesterday I got my Threadless shirts in the mail. Remember I mentioned them back a few posts ago. They are a great store. So I'm wearing my Strangers with Candy shirt today, even though its probably not dressy enough for work. That's ok, it's Friday. Woot for the weekend. :)

Back in a bit with my thoughts on the new Spidey trailer.

I endorse Threadless

Over at Threadless.com, which if you don't know is the coolest online t-shirt store, they've got a sale going on until Wednesday that you should really check out. T-shirts normally priced at $20 a piece are now all, or almost all, priced at $10. These are super cool shirts, that are really great quality, and I can't recommend the store enough.

I've only ever gotten one shirt from them before and I love it. It's called Dark Side of the Garden, and I swear it's only just now after months and months of heavy rotation slipping from my top spot as #1 favorite tee.

The cool thing about Threadless is that it works like a co-op, ok not exactly, but close. Actually its an ongoing design contest. Basically, any artist can submit t-shirt designs to Threadless, of all the weekly submissions 4 to 6 of the best are picked and then printed by the company. All of these winning designers are compensated with a $2000 prize. Obviously Threadless makes out the best, but its still a great forum for designers and artists to get their work out there. Its got a pretty active community and a really fun atmosphere. I think the best part about it though is that because there are so many different artists contributing designs to the site the range of shirt designs is extremely varied. If you could categorize it at all you might use the words original, and interesting.

The shirts I ordered today are Damn Scientists, I Like Trees Too, Strangers With Candy, and Pandamonium, $10 each plus 7 bucks shipping that comes out to $47 total. Really a great deal on 4 super awesome shirts. Go check out what they've got that you might like.
