My brother has a website.

This in itself is not news. Most people’s brothers have a website, as do their mothers, fathers, third cousins and pets. My brother’s one *is* very good though. It’s called tshrt.com, and is going to be a community for designers to swap t-shirt designs. Since changing employers & becoming 30, I’ve taken to wearing a lot less t-shirts of late, which is a ‘bad thing’. Properly done, a tshirt is the finest of garments. Which puts me in mind of the Kerouac book, Big Sur, that I’m spending my train journeys on at the moment: “And it’s almost tearful to realise and remember the old T-shirt I’d found, mind you, eight years ago, mind you, on the DUMP in Watsonville California mind you, and got fantastic use and comfort from it… On my deathbed, I could be… remembering the old lost green dump T-shirt and forgetting the sapphire robes - Mebbe the best way to get into heaven“.
So I for one will be doing a bit of shopping on the best designs and cutting down the collar-count of my wardrobe. If you’ve got a good idea for a t-shirt, get it printed here, and you might see me wearing it!
