The insanely long wait is finally over. After absorbing months of cat calls and heckling, the first, official Decatur Metro t-shirt is finally here!
As any DM-addict can tell you, the brilliant catch-phrase “Decatur: There’s a Festival for That” comes from the minds of the first-name wunderkinds “Russ” and “Dave” in a moment of random collaboration way back in late 2009 during the “Describe Decatur in 6 Words” discussion.
And it was all uphill from there!
Lauren and Marcia at Lampe-Farley brought my vague concept of festival line drawings to life in design and Patrick at Decatur Screenprint turned the whole dang thing into tangible, organic objects ready for your discretionary consumption.
Now I imagine one or two of you are thinking “I like festivals and tolerate this website. How do I get one!?”
Good question, disgruntled reader! Your easiest option is to get yourself over to our BRAND-NEW WEBSTORE, where you can purchase the Men’s/Unisex tee online for just $18 (w/free shipping for a limited time!).
But if you’d like to try it on first or you’re looking for a more fitted look OR want to flaunt your festi-love during the dead of winter, our fitted “Ladies” and “Kid” tees along with long-sleeve versions are currently on display and available for you to try-on and purchase at Decatur Screenprint (located at 340 West Ponce de Leon Ave, Decatur, GA). We plan to make these other options available for online purchase, but it’ll be a few weeks. I’ll keep you updated.)
All details and joking aside, I hope you like it. This shirt was a long-time in the making and wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Marcia, Lauren, Patrick and my wife (who continually endures and responds to a never-ending, unfiltered list of my “ideas”).
