TMBG Shirt #68: Black Hayseed Johns

Well, here it is. The final shirt. I guess when I started this I was not thinking about posting different versions of the same shirt in one entry, because I neglected to include the black version of my very first shirt, Hayseed Johns. But that's okay because it lends a kind of circularity to the whole thing. This blog is going to go on hiatus for a little while while I figure out what to do with it next. If you've enjoyed my t-shirt blog over the past fifteen and a half months, and/or you have an idea, I'd appreciate it if you would comment on this entry.
This one was acquired on eBay, and was worn by student security at Tufts University in Boston, MA on October 27, 1999. At the bottom is a quote from "How Can I Sing Like a Girl": "I want to raise my freak flag higher and higher."

TMBG Shirt #67: El Presidente

Not to be confused with "US Presidents", this tour shirt features Abraham Lincoln imagining They Might Be Giants Live on Stage on Tour. My shirt says '2002', and yet the "El Presidente on Red" that is currently available in the online merch store reads '2001'. Go figure..
The back of the shirt pictures Richard Nixon being blinded by a TMBG banner above the Dial-a-Song number and website as well as their "Brooklyn's Ambassadors of Love" moniker.
