My Theme This Year: Red and Black
All the shirts I ordered for DragonCon this year arrived today, which was kind of surprisingly fast. I’d ordered the red stripey Secret Society of Vegans one last Sunday, and the “Praise Seitan” one (which I’ve been coveting forever) and “All My Heroes Have FBI Files” from Herbivore on Wednesday. Neither place charged much at all for shipping, so I’d expected it to take quite a bit longer. It was a thoroughly pleasant surprise after a day spent largely in a sort of pseudoexistentialist funk, although I was rather annoyed that the postal carrier had jammed both packages into my little tiny mailbox, thus risking severe wrinkleage. (Or should that be wrinklage? Possibly.)
In addition, the nice folks at Herbivore included a handwritten thank-you note on my invoice (I’m always a sucker for that). The SSoV also include a free CD with each order — it’s apparently a promotional CD from a tour that took place last year, but, hey, I’m not proud.
So far, I’m extremely pleased with the shirts, and can’t wait to wear them outside the house. (Thus far, I’ve just tried them on and then pranced around the flat chanting “I’ve got cool shirts, I’ve got cool shirts” and confusing the poor dog.) Pity I can’t wear logo-type shirts to work. I wonder whether I could turn them around so the logos are on the back . . . or maybe wear lace overshirts over them, so only I know they’re there. Hmm. That last one might work. :)
