T-Shirt Etiquette
« on: January 05, 2007, 11:37:42 AM »
I just noticed that I'm wearing my "Eat Flaming Death, Fascist Pigs!" WFMU T-shirt while listening to the Best Show. Is this like wearing a Band's T-shirt to the show, or am I okay?

Or

Is it okay to wear a band's T-shirt to the show?

I wore a WFMU tee shirt to the record fair. Is that gauche?

I dunno... I don't think that rule even applies anymore.

It's almost at the point where it's actually cool to do that:

2004: Trucker Hats
2005: Whistle Tips
2006: Crocs
2007: Wearing a T-Shirt of the band who's concert you are attending.
"Animals Tour" -  :-\

I don't know about listening and wearing, but I have so many wfmu t-shirts now (like 4 or 5) that it's inevitable.  I will say that I wore the "Eat Flaming Death" shirt while buying beer at the Korean liquor store by my place and the lady at the counter seemed transfixed and intrigued by it.  I was kind of afraid it might be offensive in some way or something, with the whole faux-Mao thing, but she said "I like your shirt", so that's cool.

I love the shirt design, but I wish it wasn't printed on that powder blue, Mary colored shirt.

I also finally managed to get me a Scharpling Landscaping shirt! Unfortunately, much like dating a horny mormon, it's a bittersweet acquisition because it's printed on American Apparel stock, which I've only recently found out prints it's shirt sizes 1 size smaller than normal.

It looks great hanging up in my closet though. That design would make a GREAT car magnet too.
