Ha. I like looking at it, too, truth be told. Not sure where that snap came from. Probably some inner guilt from some recent ridiculous purchase of my own.
:) I bid on an old barbour jacket and was stoked to get it for like $15. Yeah, two months later, it’s still being shipped from Taiwan and I paid $30 shipping. Awesome.
How ’bout scanning that sweet distressed logo on the bag and screen printing a limited run of tees for yr ACL shop—or the next pop up. ACL + Random eBay finds. I do like the carrying ice idea as well but let’s take it to the next level shall we? Use it to carry Ice and Beers!
If anybody wants those lamps, I bought a few over at office max, they still have them. They are called Catalina Pharmacy desk lamps.
MW, I am getting married in Cleveland this June. I just found your Q&A on selectism. It was a help, some great leads. Seriously. I just booked 3 of your suggestions. Any suggestions for local bands? My fiance just nixed Gil Mantera.
Looks to me like you got ripped off. That bag finna fall apart the minute you put your hand lotion in there! Hey Michael William! I got an old burlap sack you can buy offa me for $100! LOL
baffling, some of these comments. the bag has transcended the 20th century and been transformed by it into an artifact, however plebian its origin. it’s a piece of art to some, me included, trash to those who stuff the landfills with good things in favor of disposable trash-culture flotsam. there’s a term for what it vibrates with: beausage, i.e., beau[ty from u]sage. this is a resurrection.
oh, look, there are buds on the tree out the window…

20% of the shit I buy on eBay goes right in the trash because I don’t look at shit clearly I just bid. Pretty dumb.

At least the head on the drywall screw isnt stripped out. Someone knows how to use a screw gun!
Nice bag. T-shirts are great, but what about a line of vintage looking shopping bags?
