#88 I'd wear a Back to the Future shirt if I had one

This is another shirt that I thought was funny in high school and quickly got over. It roughly translates to "looking for a Japanese girlfriend". A Japanese student that I knew actually did read it once and became slightly confused but then laughed. The weird thing about it is that Asian girls aren't normally my thing. It's probably because I'm an Asian person who grew up surrounded by Asians and currently lives in a place with a high Asian population. I just needs me some strange.

Perhaps that's why I never wear it these days. It sends the wrong message, haha.

#87 Oh Broken-Hearted-Hoover-Fixer-Sucker Guy...

It's time to hop in the 'ol wayback machine as this shirt is one that I got in high school. It was one of the first designs at the launch of the Atticus Clothing Line which was founded in part by Tom and Mark of Blink 182. The clothing line is named after the father in To Kill a Mockingbird and rather appropriately their logo is a bird lying on its back. They also used to have a women's line under the name Scout after the young girl narrator in that same book (so there's a bunch of shit you didn't need to know about a book that you probably dislike and a clothing line that is barely relevant. You're welcome!).

Um, anywho they apparently still make clothing so you can find their store here.

My very first concert tee

This is the very first shirt that I ever got at a concert. I went to see Saves the Day in concert with my friend Monica. They were my favorite band in high school and for about my first year or two in college. I don't remember who else was playing but I remember it was held at Canes which is this Bar and Grill in the Belmont Park Boardwalk in San Diego. It was a pretty cool venue. Afterward I think we walked along the beach for a bit while we waited for our parents to come pick us up (shut up. we were 16 and didn't have our licenses or cars at this point). I don't remember too much of the concert though I do recall chanting the word "coconuts" at some point because the lead singer was trying to see what sorts of crazy things he could get us to chant since we were all excited.

If you can't read the text underneath it says UBR: Urban Bike Renegades. I don't really know why. Saves the Day's official merch store is here. I've still got at least one other Saves the Day shirt to go so I'll save my favorite concert story of theirs for that one. In my youth (because I'm all old and shit now I guess) I think I saw them four times. Janice just saw them last weekend (with a couple of other bands that I either have loved or still love) and I declined to go. I'm just not into the whole getting shoved around by sweaty kids that I could have babysat-scene.
