about Et Cetera
So I went to one of my friend's graduation party today and I wore this shirt. After being there for about two hours one of his family members comes over to me and asked me where I got my shirt because it seemed familiar. I happily said Threadless and gave my little spiel about Threadless and how great it is and all of the independent designers. And then she asked about this designer and since I live in the area I knew where Skipper lived and I had mentioned that it was just a young kid from Shelbyville.

Then she went on about how she actually is from Shelbyville herself and how they featured Skip and this shirt in their local newspaper and just thought about how small of a world it is. I thought it was really awesome that some random lady recognized this shirt. And she was obviously really impressed by the design and I also talked about the whole sweatshirt venture.

Anyways I'm not really sure what the point of this was except to just say congratulations for the exposure.

Hahaha, wtf!? I actually live in the little city of Rockford. I put in the wrong zip code for my Myspace a long time ago, and it came up as Shelbyville.

Haha. I should really fix that zip code.

But that is really cool! I really wish I had that newspaper article! I mean, really, this is one of the coolest things I've heard in recent times. Thanks for posting this!

Haha yeah you're welcome, I think that's where I saw it. And I guess that is where they are from, apparently her kids go to the same school district as you. She had me show the shirt to her mom and everything.

You are definitely quite the local celebrity.
