Day 60



Two whole months of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge down, ten more to go!

Yesterday's T-shirt promoted the concept of 'partying hard', but in lieu of the opportunity to do that, I had to settle for 'partying mildly in my imagination whilst actually developing an online data capture form'. The hangover was about the same.
Today on the other hand has proven to be the complete inverse - I'm wearing a T-shirt encouraging me to 'relax', when in actual fact I will be 'partying hard whilst wearing a handheld device strapped to my face'.
Before I take this post any further, please go and familiarise yourself with the current Internet craze known as The Harlem Shake, if you haven't already.

Understand?

Never one to shy away from dressing up in a ridiculous outfit and making a buffoon of myself, I persuaded the Dennis Publishing office to create a Harlem Shake video that effectively highlighted the brand and its magazines. My role in this grotesque disco production will be Shake Instigator, meaning that I dance solo for about 15 seconds wearing a helmet I'd fashioned out of cardboard, a belt and a tablet, and some snazzy outlandish graphics that I knocked up earlier. The T-shirt worn for the video (and indeed the rest of Day 60) was donated by Dennis title Mac User, though the advice it professes has been thoroughly ignored.

Now everybody, one last time, do the Harlem Shake.

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…
