Happy Jazz Fest Y’All

The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival is one of the best music and food events in the world. Also tshirt heaven. We start with memorial shirts and then will share some from the literally hundreds of thousands of shirts to be seen here.

Carts, Carts, Carts and More Carts

Tom posted that he has literally hundreds of carts in his shop and he means hundreds. I posted that I waited way too long to make more carts. Here is another cart story. My friend’s shop is in a poor part of town and there are lots of industrious types, so to speak, as in…
