Swag
NOW OPEN: the Buster Wants To Fish store at Zazzle.com! W00T! Let the world know what you want, or failing that, at least let em wonder.
Ever since we built this monkey house we’ve wanted to offer Buster shirts, but the conversation always seemed to wander off into the bushes. Doing it ourselves was a cool thought, but there’s a cash outlay to consider and then handling, etc, all of which gets in the way of fishing, dammit. So what the hell, we’re going to try Zazzle and see how it goes. Cafepress was a bit cheaper, but one of the things we gathered while reading a BAZILLION GODDAM OPINIONS JEEBUS KILL ME NOW about these on-demand services was that Cafepress had some quality control issues, so we’re going with a slightly higher cost for a service with a rep for better quality.
Here’s the thing: assuming of course that you’re willing to drop 20-some clams on a (admittedly sweet ass) shirt, we’re depending on you to tell us if the print or garment quality disappoints. Design changes are quick and easy, so feel free to suggest them too, but if Zazzle is the wrong choice then we want to know it, and fast. If they step up, we’ve got more design ideas to roll out (probably the coolest thing about these services is the ability to quickly offer new designs).
Yeah we know, the shirts are a bit pricey after tax and shipping. Sorry, that’s just how it is. Buster’s not getting rich on this (or anything else, for that matter).
We’re starting simple. Right now there’s just a couple of designs, and one color per shirt style. The only reason they aren’t all black is because the ladies’ styles aren’t currently available in black. Which is wrong. Anyway, we can make more colors available if you want, just holler. Also, there’s a sweet bumper sticker.
No, the graffiti design doesn’t have the Buster URL on it, because we think it says all it needs to say. Let em google it if they’re so inclined.
The hoodies are STUPID expensive, but they look great from here. We wants them, precious.
CUIDADO, CHIQUITAS! The ladies’ shirts run small, according to Zazzle, and should be ordered two sizes up. No, we don’t get it either.
Also also, we want to see photos of you in your Buster gear (well, no guys in spaghetti straps, por favor). Preferably in some interesting locale, maybe also reading Gaper’s book. Because we know that Buster has the best looking and most intelligent readers in Blogtopia. It’s true.
Thee Originoo Stickers!
The stickers are here and they turned out pretty effing sweet. Thanks to our black background, you can’t really see the borders of the BWTF “prison tat” design, but it’s the same size as the “crass” design, just flipped on its side. They measure 5.5×2.75. They are printed on weather-proof vinyl by punk rockers toiling in Charlotte, NC. Creative by thee and Banknote, bitches.
a matched set of 2 awesome stickers = $2
six badass stickers (3 of each) = $3
WTF would yuo do with 12 laser-etched BWTF stickers? Dunno, but it’s only $5!
Cash money only to:
