Tee Till Death

Congrats again to last month’s contest winner Mary. She has been hitting the gym hard, and is almost ready for power lifting competition.(Keep your eyes peeled Tumbusch.) Here at Tee Till Death headquarters, we were under the assumption that she was giving it to her man. OOPS! Sucks to be you dude!

Now onto the new contest. We still have a gaggle of shirts to give away, and this month we will be handing out 3 shirts. It is real easy to enter. All you need for entry is to add a picture of yourself wearing your favorite hardcore shirt to the March Photo Contest Album in the TeeTillDeath Facebook page

Bonus points awarded if you actually purchased the shirt after we featured it right here on Tee Till Death.

So simple a caveman can do it. Here is my pile of shirts you can pick through if you win.

Murphy’s pile is better.

JayBil’s pile consists solely of Schism, Wishingwell and Positive Force shirts and he said he’s not sharing. YET.

Is going to be a little different.

SPRINGFIELD – Firefighters have determined the cause of a fire that broke out in a duplex at 47-49 Willard Ave. early Saturday morning.

Fire Department spokesman Dennis G. Leger said the fire started in a power strip in the basement, causing the fire to break out at 49 Willard Ave.; the other side of the duplex was undamaged.

He said a 22-year-old man, Keith Freeman, smelled smoke and woke up his grandmother, Lula Griffin, 66, and got her outside. Leger said the first floor was gutted by fire and the second floor had heavy smoke damage. He estimated the damage at approximately $85,000. Griffin owns the duplex, Leger said.

Leger said 19 firefighters were on scene and were able to quickly put out the fire. The duplex had working smoke alarms, he said. The fire was reported at 4:37 a.m.

I don’t know if you know Keith, but I do. And he is seriously one of the chillest dudes out there. He’s posted comments here, and is always down for the core. You may recognize him from the band Alert. Great dude.

So, this week’s giveaway: you remember that bin of shirts? A healthy stack of shirts are headed his way (once I get an address for him). And you can help too. This is your chance to give something back to him.

Listen up guys, here is your chance to win your choice of Invasion shirts from the reunion show last month. Really easy this to enter this time as well. All you have to do is add yourself as a fan to our brand spanking new Facebook page.

Leave a comment after you join. We will pick a winner on Monday morning. If we have enough people sign up, we’ll give away both of them! If not, you’ll just have to wait for the next contest …

Feel free to retweet too (you never know what a retweeter or two could get …)

Winners are in!

On Monday, we announced a contest for free hardcore merch. The response was nearly overwhelming. There were over 120 comments and over 130 Retweets. In fact, the result was so overwhelming, that we picked TWO winners.

And they are:

@shanexedge

AND

Brady ****@sju.edu

Please contact me (teetilldeath @ gmail) with your size and mailing address.

If you didn’t win on this go around, don’t be too sad. As you can see, that bin is dumb big and stuffed full of gear. Keep looking because next week you may find a very similar post … As well as a possible flyer give away coming up. Stay tuned!

Over the weekend, I was clearing out some old bins of tees preparing for a massive ebay sale, when I decided it would be better to give the stuff to our loyal readers. Who doesn’t love free stuff?

Entering is easy. Real, real easy. We’ll even give you two options.

1. Press the “Retweet” link button up there on the right. If you don’t follow @teetilldeath, now is a good time to start.

OR

2. Leave a comment below. Only one comment per commenter, please.

Check the bin! Lots of goodies in there.

We’ll randomly select the winner in 48 hours. This person will win something (a shirt, maybe two) from this giant bin. We will then contact you for your address and shirt size. That’s it.

Easy right?

Everyone loves free stuff so get to it. As for the bin, you can tell it’s quite full of shirts so expect more contests as time goes on.

Read vinylnoize.com. Lots of great posts lately.

We wanted to thank you guys for browsing the site, leaving comments and generally making the site fun for us to create. 1000 posts came up quick, and we are excited to continue bringing you all the classics you might need for your collection.

We also wanted to take the time to announce the launch of 2 other sites.

vinylnoize.com
Showcases interesting pieces of wax, the more rare the better.

comicnoize.com
Showcases all things related to the comic world from original art to merchandising to great monthly trades.

You’ll notice a lot of similarities across the sites. We’re aiming to provide very familiar content even if the items discussed are vastly different than what you’ve seen before. We’re achieving this goal by gathering some of the best talent we could find. We look forward to building these into daily reads for you. All the sites are RSS enabled and can be easily added to your feed reader.

As we continue to grow, we plan on extending our scope. You can help. We are looking for people with a passion for collecting skate gear, sports cards, toys and other interesting things. Also, if you think you have the inside scoop on vinyl or comics, please get in touch.

Thanks again for all your support. Hopefully 2010 will bring some cool content.

If you don’t know, TeeTillDeath is on Twitter. Feel free to follow us for immediate site updates and discussion.

Also, if you come across a great ebay auction, go ahead and point it out.

Granted, we’re already being followed by the best, but go ahead and join in.

I just wanted to take a moment and clarify something that has recently come up. The term bootleg is used around here quite a bit, and I wanted to elaborate on it.

As far as I am concerned with MY blog posts(I think Murphy and JayBil agree but I won’t speak for them), a bootleg shirt does not just refer to a crust punk pumping out Youth of Today 4 sided shirts in his basement in Chile. As far as I am concerned, even if the shirt is “licensed” by the band years later, that does not make it official. It’s remake. A bootleg.

Questions, comments? Let’s hear them!

So I am just gonna throw it out there. We like free stuff. It happens. If you are proud of your bands new shirt design and wish us to post about where, when and how to get one; please drop us a line. We are open to taking bribes for promotion. Just sayin.
