MAIL ORDER MADNESS! -- (AKA -- PIMPIN' THE PAST ONE ITEM AT A TIME) We've been hearing rumblings here and there that some of you can't find WBSTYN at your local book or record store. To circumvent this problem, you can order the book straight from us (OK...me...the author) along with some other pretty great stuff we've whipped up that was only supposed to be sold at the book release parties. Mail order is first come, first serve and once it's gone, it's gone and all that crap. Let's take a look at this stuff, shall we?

If you don't know, Davo was the guy who shot the photos on the Negative Approach 7" and he took some classic shots back then. There's 4 prints to choose from (see above) BUT YOU ONLY GET ONE IN THE FUN PACK! The fun pack is stuffed in a polybag,stamped and numbered and limited to 100. Buy now or pay later! SHIRTS!!! - $12.00 ppd Please specify size!!!(Potential buyers from other countries,please get in touch for shipping rates)

You got it! Two (count 'em, TWO!) designs and we think they look sweet as shizz.

First off, we got this classic Freezer Theatre flyer on a ice grey shirt. Pretty spiffy, no? On the right sleeve, we put the title of the book ala Wishingwell Records stylee.

The second design is the flyer for the Process of Elimination tour show in Boston on a black shirt with the WBSTYN title on the sleeve as well. Check it...
