Day 355

Upon hearing about my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge for the first time, people’s faces will either drop with disinterest, or light up with intrigue. This is how they silently weigh up whether I'm an idiot or a genius.

For the past couple of months, the challenge has been coasting on fumes (or perhaps 'threads' would be a more appropriate metaphor) and T-shirt supplies have been draining quickly. I've barely had enough T-shirts to see me clear one week into the next; a tentative trickle of tees arriving in my Post Tube has proven to be essential lifeblood. There have been several close calls this month and now that there are only 10 days left to go the pressure is really on to complete the challenge successfully and secure the tees I need.

Back in November, I had a brief conversation with Max at Colorado-based retailer IdiotGenius. Max told me that he'd love to donate several tees, however, as a transatlantic enterprise, he was hesitant about shipping T-shirts internationally due to raising quite a postage bill that neither I nor he could satisfy.
I glanced over at the empty spot in my office where a bountiful stock of T-shirt donations once sat, now replaced by a bare patch of carpet. I was very much in trouble. I needed those T-shirts...
I replied to Max with a proposal; I told him that if he could send me as many T-shirts as he could I would feature them in my challenge back-to-back as an IdiotGenius marathon.

Nothing.
No email reply.
Silence.

Several weeks passed and the conversation was all but forgotten, but then, out of the blue, a package arrived...

So this is Day 1 of the IdiotGenius marathon and the first T-shirt I’ve pulled out of the bundle features the freshly resurrected Jesus Christ unleashing some holy flow in the church of dance, as MC JC, poised above the caption “Turnin' water in rhyme”.
Given that I rolled in at around 5am this morning after a heavy night of deep-house dance action, this design is incredibly appropriate.
