I'm struggling with how incredibly badly I want this shirt, and how I just got $3 of street team points, and I don't know where from.

See, I don't post my link out there. I hate promoting. Therefore, these street team points probably came directly from heaven. Of course I can't be sure...

So, is it predestination? Should I buy this shirt, despite having dropped $500 (I've been saving all summer) on a digital camera (needed for my shop--no more borrowing)?

I think you should keep the good karma rolling, and buy it for me. I wear a medium. Thanks!

:) I'm glad you like it so much.



The shirt seems to be selling the fastest this week, so don't wait too long!



I bought three already.

well i know threadless say not to say when you're getting printed, but they never said when to say you're not getting printed. So I'll say im never getting printed here probably.

I think you should wear the shirt and hand out pamphlets with little testimonials in them.

mid august huh? I m glad i got one of these a few days ago, because they are almost lal sold out in guys sizes. mmmmm... first edition hah. when i was unsure of wheter or not to buy it, i just looked down at the "you rated this a 5" and i knew i couldnt substitute another for this. I may actually even wear this one out. prolly not tho, rare occasions.



and there have been 2 sales this summer already! Im glad they came, but ever since i ran outta hangers, I havent been able to take my last 2 orders or so out of the package. those 5-7 shirts will make a weeks worth of fresh impressions someday.



and good job on this one, threadless needs more origional prints like these. altough i do really like wearing my diabolical hotdog.

i can't imagine this lasting more than another week or two. i think you should buy it now if you love it. you shouldn't think of the $500 as a reason not to buy the shirt; you should think, wow, now that my bar for a big purchase is $500, spending $12 on a shirt seems like almost nothing....

I dont understand, why did they print a shirt that says Kill everyone?

I got more random street team points last night (whoever that was, sincere thanks. You clothed me! Provided a basic human need!), so I went for it. Those plus a coupon code made it affordable. And I followed steve's philosophy. What's another $10 or so?



This is the kind of print of which I've been wanting to see more (c.f. my comments here http://www.threadless.com/profile/209003/starr226/blog/56061/Threadless_Loves_Threadless_New_Trends). Thank you spires!



Also, my stp from my purchase went to king_slug as previously agreed upon. I stand by my words!

That was stupid.

I don't think anybody else should buy this shirt because there are only three left...and I want one, but the funds are low.

banana, how soon after scoring ends, do you get notified from Threadles when they want to print your design?
C20Percent
C20Percent on Jul 12 '06 at 9:26pm
Okay, fuck it, I just bought one. Only two Medium Mens left.

pyromaniac, when's the next sale?



your guess is as good as mine. =)
spires
   spires on Jul 12 '06 at 10:11pm
Mindrenew, I'm pretty sure that I was notified at least a few weeks after it was done scoring.



It depends on when they need your stuff for a run, I think. It took like 3 weeks to print, so they must plan at least a few weeks ahead.

Ah, the way you posted that comment earlier led me to believe you might have known something.

I want it too. but I like just bought 2 shirts. and i do have SOME money. but i'm a saver. eek. and you like cant wait for the sale. it's already almost sold out.
spires
   spires on Jul 12 '06 at 11:43pm
I'm surprised how quick it's going!



It has out sold quicker than designs released over a month ago, which is insane! The sales rival Decay's sales, which is amazing.



I hope this ends up in retail and I see it in a store somewhere. That would make my f*cking year.

You make any money at etsy or w/e?! :)

I would love a reprint on asphalt/dakota slate, forrest green for girls, pacific or navy.



The dark grey looks fantastic, but the blacks may drop out a little, because on my decay asphalt, the black sort of gets lost in dim light.

alsosara on Jul 13 '06 at 9:10pm
Hey 5115, lately I make more from financial services on Etsy than jewelry! Ironic and amusing, but not surprising (I'm preparing to go into i-banking).



Most of my jewelry sales are off site, for now. Hoping to change that this school year.



But yeah, it's all gone into that digicam and the all-important "survive college next semester" fund. Must fulfill those basic human needs!

awesome job on the design, I put it on yesterday and went upstairs to have 4 ppl say how dope it looks. Im suprised to see that it already sold out on many sizes, but im glad so then i can get this on another color. Not htat the color its at right now is not good, because it is, its distinct from my other more regular colored shirts which causes me to wonder how the next incarnation will be shaded.
spires
   spires on Jul 17 '06 at 12:21am
I'm pretty sure it will be reprinted, and I wonder what they will choose next, because I'd definitely buy the shirt in a variety of colors.



I'm also glad to hear about the postive feedback you have received!

if you like this, i'd snap it up now. you can never count on a reprint. you can always buy another if it comes out in a better color.
