So living moneys not involved right now (im lucky) but all the money im making from my cleaning job is going into my brand (which is yet to launch). One of the reasons which my shirts havent been seen around yet is because of im raising money so that when i launch im immeaditely giving out the right ideas about my brand. Soo am i distibuting my money in the right way. Im intrested in the smaller details and im quite determined to sell my shirts with custom printed tags to give them a bit more identity. Im planning on selling each one at around 12-13.50, possibly the with free shipping around the U.K... is this the right thing for a starting brand to do? 2009-11-20T16:43:49-05:00 14 2009-11-19T17:39:06-05:00 true 0 100201 false false 11937 56511 1 2009-11-20T17:10:02-05:00 288 My 'Blood Diamond' design is for sale today, for ONE DAY ONLY! <a href="http://s602.photobucket.com/albums/tt110/thedeekin/?action=view&current=tee-091120.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt110/thedeekin/tee-091120.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Here's the link:http://riptapparel.com/ Go an get you one for yourself and your bestest friend. 2009-11-20T16:40:54-05:00 9 2009-11-19T00:38:35-05:00 true 0 100001 false false 8980 8980 2 2009-11-20T17:10:06-05:00 232 Coming this Friday... <img src="http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/93/l_4b111288aaab4294b1b16b2bf79bc549.jpg" /> <img src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/107/l_e7a5c1c13a8b450dac2f2c3e65ac4c4c.jpg" /> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/olisarus/newrangew09.jpg" /> heard they're now printing everything in turkey and china, so no AA anymore? 2009-11-20T16:39:01-05:00 146 2009-11-17T20:38:58-05:00 true 0 99701 false false 1249 11090 1 2009-11-20T17:09:45-05:00 2789 <img src="http://favoniangamers.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/modern-warfare-2.jpg" /> This is the official Modern Warfare 2 PS3, 360 and PC thread. <b>Post your gamertags if you are playing the new MW2.

Hey Everyone. We as a label are really excited to announce that we've started a <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/topshelfrecords/repress-defeaters-travels-on-vinyl">Kickstarter campaign</a> to raise funds to re-press Defeater's Travels on vinyl. With the record having been sold out on vinyl for some time now, the band having upcoming tours in the works and ourselves and Bridge Nine both having financial obligations in other areas at the moment, going this route seems to make the most sense. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Kickstarter, it's basically a service that allows for communal funding of projects. There is a minimum financial goal that must be met within a certain time period for the project to succeed. We've set a goal of $1,200.00 by Midnight on December 31, 2009. This means that at the time of my writing this, we have 55 days to raise $1,200.00. That's where you come in. We've assembled some awesome package deals for this including exclusive vinyl colors, test presses, Defeater's new EP Lost Ground and even a healthy chunk of our back catalog including My Heart To Joy (Dobi can attest is good times) and other assorted merch. So head on over and pledge your support. You'll help us and the band re-press the album and score some awesome deals in the process. Click <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/topshelfrecords/repress-defeaters-travels-on-vinyl">HERE</a> to check it out. OH, and PLEASE, spread the word and tell your friends!

People seem to be queuing up to crit on designs logos and branding and the flag option seems like a great idea. Sure there are a few trolls around but hey this is the internet and I think emptees has taken a big step forward. I hope I didnt sound too patronizing keep up the good work :) 2009-11-20T15:25:51-05:00 13 2009-11-20T08:05:29-05:00 true 0 100371 false false 87481 18421 1 2009-11-20T17:06:15-05:00 329 after watching dobi's channing vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM_UtrUXPPc i decided we need to bring in some fresh stuff to watch and make our days a bit better. lets see what you got emptees.
