AVENGE JONATHAN JOSS #KingOfTheHill

Literally the first PShrts sale ever! Thanks @jasonschneidermedia.com

We have a Facebook page, because... yes. www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

New Etsy Store has launched! www.etsy.com/shop/PShrts In the future I hope to be able to do more physical sales, but for now it's Etsy.

Not to get overly #OnPoli here, but this week I brought together a classic Rickyism and some total #DoFo bullshit.

If anybody is writing/producing Freddy Got Fingered: The Musical, please rest assured that you've just found your graphics person! #FreddyGotFingered #TomGreen #CheeseSandwich

4 new ones: 2 Kids In The Hall related, 1 Norm Macdonald, & 1 1987 UK film featuring Lemmy & Motorhead. An update: I haven't been able to acquire funding for actual printing quite yet, but hopefully soon-ish. Once that's achieved, it's on to online sales via panierdachat.com. Here's hoping!

Yes! @jasonschneidermedia.com suggested a Louis Del Grande/Seeing Things print, and now it exists. Thanks Jay! AND, @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social recently interviewed @mark-carney.bsky.social, bringing up the subject of Willie Dunn, whose early releases were on #CBC Records.

Finally, for #SaveTheCBC, 3 P-Shirts of classic #CBC shows from the West coast. The Nature Of Things is still on, but is now hosted by Sarika Cullis-Suzuki & Anthony Morgan.

I've been working on a small classic #CBC series of P-Shirts. @savethecbc.bsky.social is my inspiration. If you don't know who these 3 people & dog are, then please ask a parent, or someone over the age of 45! #SaveTheCBC

No #Toronto trip to Yonge/Dundas was complete without visiting Sams! (A&A optional, followed by HMV years later) Of course, the sign has been preserved several stories up at Y&D Square.

Down on Queen's Quay #Toronto, if you were having a wedding, bar mitzvah, dinner, or otherwise, Captain John's was the go-to floating restaurant. The 2nd pic is apparently what it looks like now, in Port Colborne, ON.

Every time I went to a show at Lee's Palace, I went early enough to visit #HonestEds, especially in the winter so I could buy a toque. Doing otherwise was not up for discussion.

On to some defunct #Toronto places, starting with every 80's kids favourite, The Organ Grinder, or as 8 year old me would've called it, "A lot better than Chuck E Cheese".

I borrowed the goose from Mervyn Sequieras' "Goose vs. Eagle" photograph from last week. Thank you Mervyn! New sweater logo for #TeamCanada for sure!

In 2009 #Kitchener lost their finest Blues Guitarist, Mel Brown. This print is based on his 2nd album, The Wizard (1968), released some 20ish years before moving to Kitchener from Jackson Mississippi. His memorial statue is now on Queen St South in Downtown Kitchener.

Back in 1985, #Waterloo had 5 high schoolers who wanted to start a punk band, and one of their parents apparently said "why not just call yourselves The Nunfuckers or something?". And so they did, and in 1987 they released this classic, which is now ready for a brand new P-Shirt print!

#UptownWaterloo, in what's now one of 2 fairly attractive condo buildings, Seagram's once stored & aged thousands of barrels of whisky. I assume the visible barrels were emptied for bottle processing & brought outside. No date for the original photo, but let's assume Al Capone is the buyer.

Of course I wasn't finished with that Dutch Boy one from last week. This may or may not be what is now Central Fresh (Meat) Market. Either way, it's where those KCI kids get their cans of whipped cream from. (at least they did in the 90's)

On my last visit to Harmony Lunch in #Waterloo, I overheard this conversation from 2 old men: Bill: Morning Ed, how are ya? Ed: Well, I woke up alive again! Bill: 👍 Older story from my Grandmother was that this was the first place my uncle went to upon his return from WWII. Must've been a good day!

Up to #Waterloo! Just like my Mom, this was a teenage hot spot for me. I always hoped they'd be able to add the #TorontoMapleLeafs with the Stanley Cup next to the 1967 Leafs pic on their wall, but then they closed & we're still waiting for that cup. 🙁 RIP #SonnysWaterloo

Years later, just before I turned 19, Club Abstract replaced The Texas Longhorn restaurant. It was a good start to the 1990's, ending some 20+ years later. Good times!

I remember when the #Kitchener Toys R Us opened, but I remember Hiway Market more! All I can recall is Lego & not food. Also, TRU promoted with David Hasselhoff to win points.

Before the Canadian grocery oligarchy & crapholes like "Dutchies", we had a charming grocery chain called Dutch Boy. My parents remember it better than I do because you didn't have to refrigerate the eggs & their stores just smelled better.

Moving over to highway 7/Victoria St. N, and before my time just like Lulu's, we would've found The Coronet; another wonderful music venue, and scene of countless crimes, most likely. This one is still a bit rough, but I like it that way.

Continuing along highway 8 into #Kitchener we have the new unofficial welcome to Kitchener logo. If it looks familiar for multiple reasons, then you're familiar with the area, and have had a hot dog or two at the #Toronto #BlueJays game.

Hello BSky! To start, here's my 1st future P-Shirt preview. It's of a coin token from #Kitchener 's legendary Lulu's Roadhouse, circa the 1980's. (Not unlike the old TTC tokens, I guess, but I was too young at the time. I did get to go a few times in the late 90's though, then it closed 🙁)
