I’m super excited about these! Kelly Towles does not disappoint! Kelly used some photos of old signs I’ve taken over the last 20 years and came up with this great shirt. Do you recognize any of the signs? Simply a small sample but some of my favorites. These shirts are VERY limited. I only ordered a bunch to bring in person to our 20th anniversary party which will be this August 27th at Moreland’s Tavern. AND there will be a new PoPville beer from our friends at Atlas Brew Works unveiled that night. AND my friend Austin Graff will be hosting a 45 minute chat/Q&A with me before we start quaffing those beers! Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to August 27th but definitely save that date!!
