Day 103



I don't remember my 10th birthday.
It was a long time ago, and I've been pretty busy since then. I'm sure if you really think about it, you can't recall much of yours either.
Perhaps there was jelly and ice cream?
Perhaps I got some neat toys?
Perhaps if I'd have taken a cue from Vfestival's 10th birthday and sold commemorative T-shirts, the memories would have been richer?

As you know, I'm a sucker for gig and festival tees, so the purchase of today's THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge garment was virtually mandatory.
The range of festival-centric merch was a little broader that year owing to it being the 10th anniversary of the annual music proceedings over at Chelmsford. The crowds had turned out in their masses to see the likes of Oasis, The Chemical Brothers and Scissor Sisters. I on the other hand had turned out for the decent music. OK OK, the Chemical Brothers weren't bad, though some jackass wearing a fishing hat did slap me whilst executing a freestyle dance manoeuvre during the set.

The T-shirt I bought makes use of both canvases; on the front right breast there is an emblem sized graphic of an old school set of speakers with protruding angel wings.
Covering the back is a full run down of the entire festival billing, printed in a couple of different colours, signed off by the same flying speaker graphic.

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
