Dr. Frank's What's-it

Trivial Info, Paraphernalia, Badges, and Regalia

Interpunk is doing a couple of MTX shirts. It has been quite a while since any shirts have been available commercially, so this is, by any conceivable measure, a big, big deal.

We tried making Love is Dead shirts once before. They were supposed to be the tour shirt for the ill-fated Euro-tour with Green Day in 1996, the sole piece of merchandise we were allowed to sell at the merch stands. As it happened though, there was a two-week delay in the delivery of the shirts. And as it also happened, the tour was cancelled after just about exactly two weeks of shows. The result was that these shirts were only available for sale to the public on a single night, in Berlin, on what turned out to be the final date of the tour.

If I remember this correctly, we sold exactly three of them that night. And what's more, we met all three purchasers, three German girls, the next day when we were scrambling around the streets of Berlin looking for our equipment. They were nice. The rest of those shirts had to be destroyed because we couldn't afford to pay to have them shipped back.

Anyway, now they're back baby.

They're also doing a variation on the semi-classic MTX Songs about Girls design, white on red with black lettering underneath.

Check 'em out and buy some. If they do well, we may be able to do an additional design or two.
