Punk Patriot Shirt Review

Bonjour! Today I'm reviewing a set of three shirts I ordered from the wonderful Asher Platts, better known as The Punk Patriot or AsherP on Current. You probably didn't know, but I have a massive T-shirt addiction. It must be fed... And the best shirts to feed me are ones that make a statement about my ideals. This is where The Punk Patriot comes in!

This first shirt is HTML for "End War," an appropriate message for the person who's mindful of the unnecessary worldwide conflicts that result in suffering. You'll know when you're talking to another nerd when someone sees your shirt and smiles.

This shirt was created with Maine's struggle against the anti-gay marriage campaign in mind. Despite the No On One group coming out on the bottom, this shirt is appropriate for any time. Love is love, and should be allowed for everyone. Say it loud with Legalize It!

This shirt is a bit more cryptic. Binary for "I <3 You" No, I can't read binary, but I can appreciate its geek factor. And if you decide to get this shirt, I recommend hanging it. After leaving it folded for a while, some of the bigger white circles cracked a bit.



Ash has a wide variety in subjects, ranging from the very political:

To very witty and smile-worthy:

Prices range from $8 to $20 with most residing at $10 or $15. Very reasonable for original shirts.

LOOP at the KIVA

November 17th, 2009, 7:30pm, on a pleasantly chilly night. I enter the KIVA at Kent State University to see a small group of nerds standing around a plump man with a friendly smile. It's Peri!

Getting ready.

Look at that smile! Kawaii!

Yeah, my flash needs some work...

Peri gettin' attacked by nerds.

Mike Johnston and his lovely Lady Tara. Drove all the way from central PA to come to the screening-ay. I salute you!

Post-LOOP delirium kept my camera angles strange and unfocused.

After an amazing 14-hour sleep I remember to take pictures of the lovely swag I received.

I <3 bracelets.

And then I got an autographed copy of the infamous LOOP!

That signature is going to be famous, and when I'm old and broke and it's worth a fortune, I'm going to say, "Like HELL you're getting this!"

Mmmmm, Peri...

And here I ask Mr. Lewnes a brief and stupid question.

Thanks for reading and next time I tell you to go somewhere, you really ought to.
