GARETH'S GREAT T-SHIRT SALE, 2009.

THANK YOU LOADS TO EVERYBODY WHO BOUGHT A TEE FROM ME. THEY’RE ALL PACKAGED UP NOW AND WILL BE POSTED OUT TOMORROW MORNING, AND THEN I WILL GO TO THE TRAIN STATION AND BUY A RAILCARD AND I WILL THINK OF YOU ALL. THANKS A LOT!!

TOO MUCH!!

Basically, I have a ridiculous number of band t-shirts. This can be attributed to a number of different things, such as:

  • Period of years where I chose band t-shirts over having a personality.
  • Student loan.
  • Getting really drunk at gigs, and buying everything.

I would now like to get rid of some of these, for the following reason:

  • I kind of chilled out a bit.
  • Not as buff as I once was, and some are a bit smaller than I’d like now.
  • Lots of them never fit in the first place because (as previously mentioned) I was too drunk to check the size or something.
  • Some are different colours to what they looked at the time/on the internet.
  • Basically just don’t wear them anymore.

I was going to ebay them, but I thought I’d rather see if anyone here was interested in them first. I hope nobody has any objections to me re-selling these t-shirts. Please rest assured they were bought with love and I at one time or another (most still, actually) thought these bands were awesome.It’s just now I have too much junk and not enough space, and I need a new pair of jeans and a new Young Persons Rail Card. Want to get a three year one, like, so I can use it after I’m 25.

How does £5 a go, sound? Some are cheaper, but I’ll mention that if/when people buy stuff. Bulk discounts available. £1 postage, each?

ALSO, with every purchase, I will send a mix CD, based loosely around the theme of Shagging, or Dying. Your choice.

Thank you for reading. Any questions, please email ROMANCEISBORING@GMAIL.COM. More photographs available on request. Cheers!

Gxo

all the pictures are the wrong way round :O The polysics linked went to the sleater keany t-shirt

NickMay 19th, 2009 at 10:29 am

Some of the photos are mixxed up, yo. May very well be interested, will be in touch.

JohnMay 19th, 2009 at 10:29 am

The second Foals link goes to a Sleater-Kinney t-shirt, by the way. If I were a size smaller, I would buy many of these. Alas! Sure they will go to good homes, none the less.

HannahMay 19th, 2009 at 10:41 am

May I please have Neutral Milk Hotel and the CFTPA one? Email me with payment details and I’ll get back to you :)

TreesiepopsMay 19th, 2009 at 10:46 am

what happens if you’re someone who loves mix cds but never wears band t-shirts (mainly because boobs and hips would never fit into your skinny boy clothes), hmm? You should make a spotify playlist or something, cos you can share those, right?

GarethMay 19th, 2009 at 10:50 am

Thanks for the tip-offs, guys. Think it should be sorted now. I’m well shit at html.

SamuelMay 19th, 2009 at 11:33 am

The first Sleater-Kinney picture goes to a modest mouse tshirt.

SamuelMay 19th, 2009 at 11:34 am

Oh wait, it doesn’t anymore. Anyway, you sold the S-K one I wanted before I saw this :(

MilesMay 19th, 2009 at 12:54 pm

Argh, can’t believe I was asleep when you posted this. Ho hum, I’m sure all the ones I would’ve bought are going to good homes.

JuliaMay 19th, 2009 at 2:43 pm

ah, lookit! they’re mostly all gone! I think I missed out. The page loaded with a full list/nothing crossed out an hour ago.

edenMay 19th, 2009 at 4:18 pm

sMay 19th, 2009 at 5:15 pm

can you really get a three year rail card?

LynseyMay 19th, 2009 at 6:12 pm

The Adam Green shirt is not linked, apparently? I’m a bit traumatised that they’re all gone, but I’d appreciate if you could put up a picture of that one, or at least mail it to me?

vanessaMay 19th, 2009 at 8:31 pm

Do all the ones with a line through them mean they’ve been sold? :( I’d have loved a Foals one, or CTFTPA. I might buy one of the non sold ones just to get the CD :D
