Seven Days article on Eat More Kale

Thanks SEVENDAYS, www.patricktimothymullikin.com., and Andy Duback for my SEVENDAYS of fame. Check it.

Me and my little ol’ micro biz were written about in SEVENDAYS, a cool culture paper out of Burlington, Vt.. Only one of these pics was pictured in the article. Andy Duback, the photographer, was really a pro, fast and easy. He didn’t suggest that I take off my pants even once. A real pro. Thanks SEVENDAYS.

My wife and I just bought an old/big Victorian home in downtown Montpelier. I just finished hanging our pictures, paintings and art on the walls. Problem is…..we have too many walls and not enough art! Here’s the deal, if you have a painting, picture, drawing or any other sort of wall art that you’d like to trade for a t-shirt contact me please. You might be a photographer with extra prints, or you might be a painter with a small painting that you’d love for me to have in exchange for one of my t-shirts. You could look in your attic or studio or storage space and dig up something cool for me. Hell, you could sit down tonight in your studio and bang something out for me. I’ll then bang a shirt out for you. Art for Art ( t-shirts are sort of
art……….right?) Don’t be shy, I’m up for an adventurous trade are you? If you are not up for this, forward this message to your “artsy” friends. Thanks

I sent 5x of my “Backin’ Barack” shirts to Iowa early last month to some campaign officials. Based on the primary results from Iowa, I’d have to say……my shirts must have helped. I’m glad to have been such a HUGE part of Obama’s win. It feels good to help. I may send 6x to New Hampshire. I’ll make you one if you want to help usher in some real change for our Grand Nation.

Did you just get an “Eat More Kale” shirt for the Holidays? I hope you like your hand-printed shirt. I appreciate all of you who purchased shirts from me this past year. I like printing t-shirts ( one at a time) and I hope ya’ll like wearing them. Have a nice Holiday Season, Happy New Year and Eat More Kale.

Have you heard? Led Zeppelin will play it’s first US date since ‘77 this coming summer in Tenn.. John Paul Jones has played at Bonnaroo before and must have had some influence on his mates. Although it can be a little overwhelming and I swore I couldn’t do it again…..I just may have to make the trek once again. The Song Remains The Same.

To those of you who have been meaning to order a shirt for the holidays but keep spacing…….GET ON IT!!!! Every year @ Dec. 19th I get a flood of emails asking ” is it too late to order?”. The answer will be ….”Yes you Dope, it’s too late”. I’m playing of coarse, I may not call you a Dope, but you know what I mean.
For the mean time we have PLENTY of time. Get your orders in SOON. Delivery time is @1.5 weeks lately. Keep in mind, I print these as you order. These shirts are not pulled off of a shelf and packaged like at AMAZON.com or Walmart.com.
I can’t thank you all enough for all of the interest and all of the orders all ready. I hope you like my shirts, because I love printing them for you. We have plenty of time, let’s GET ON IT. YEHAWWWW.

You can find my adult short sleeve organic Eat More Kale shirts at Riverwalk Records in lovely downtown Montpelier, Vt.. Also, if you are in Shelburne Falls, Mass., check out my shirts at my in-laws leather shop…DICK MULLER AND Co.. It’s a fancy shop, but don’t be intimidated…the folks inside are easy ( and their handmade leather goods are too nice for me to describe, you’ll have to check it out). Look for them soon in Birmingham, Alabama @ Nomad Supply. Contact me if you want these in your store too.

I saw Alejandro Escoveda and his group last night at The HigherGround in Burlington, Vt.. It was the most rocking “sit down” show I’ve ever seen. So rocking that I actually could not sit during the whole show. He’s lived in Ca. and Texas and has been playing music since the 70’s. I could go on and on, but I won’t. Just do yourself a favor……..Listen to some Alejandro. Download it, buy it, youtube it, borrow it…..whatever….just do it. Later you’ll come back to me and say something like ” Dude, how could I have gone so long without listening to that?” Or maybe you’ll say.. “Duh…Dude, I’ve been listening to him since the 70’s”. Whatever. Run along now, get some new music. Thank me later.

Here’s the deal: I really want your opinion. Do you think it is cool for other people to print their own “Eat More Kale” shirts to sell or promote online? Do you think it would be cool of me to make shirts that say “Life Is Good”? ( I’m not going to of coarse, just wondering) Please take the time to get back with me on this if you have an opinion. Of coarse I have my own, but I need to hear from wide array of people. Please leave a comment, or email me. Thanks for your time and I value your opinion ( possibly). Bo, the “Eat More Kale” guy
