Long time customer Roscoe Johnson, Johnson Tattoo Studio, in Taylor Michigan was kind enough to let me know how the T-shirts we printed for him worked out at the 2008 Chopper Show in Detroit Michigan.
Below is the email I received from Roscoe (posted with permission of course) and a great picture of Roscoe and his Dad Gary, decked out in the t-shirts (designed by Roscoe himself).
What I Did Last Weekend:
Chopper Show Detroit 2008 – Corktown Tavern, Detroit – next door to Old Tiger Stadium on Michigan Avenue – which was being demolished even as the event progressed. Saturday, August 9th 2008.
The shirts I designed for the Chopper Show Detroit 2008 last Saturday (Printed by Bizarre Promotions) went over pretty well.
The event was a LOT of work: I had to pack, unpack, put up, tear down, pack and unpack the tent, tables, displays and everything – so today I feel like I’m recovering from having been beaten up;
When the torrential rain started, I made a comment to Dad that “Rain is one thing, but I take exception to torrential rain.” As if on cue, the HAIL and high winds started, and the tent kept trying to take flight like a kite!
It was on and off like that for the whole evening, but old gnarly bikers on beer are made of tough stuff – and mostly stuck around. Made a lot of contacts for the shop; Dad ran into some of his old bike club brothers he thought must have croaked years ago.
I gave a lot of the Johnson Tattoo Shirts away as promotional freebies along with my “Bird Flip” Chopper Show shirts, which got completely soaked several times over.
I should have known that a bunch of old bikers would need lots of 3XL’s and even 4XL’s – Ran out of those really fast!
Thanks Roscoe!!
