Concert T-Shirts = Evil

I've been to my share of concerts and I've shelled out hundreds of dollars in merchandise too. What pisses me off is how poorly made some of the shirts are, and we all know how much those puppies cost at a show, right?

Some cost $30.00 or more. For a fucking t-shirt!!

Well I was going through my cabinets and I found my Elvis Costello shirt from The Delivery Man Tour. "The Monkey speaks his mind!"

Guess what?

There was a hole in the shirt.

WTF!

There are no moths in my bedroom dresser drawers. I've only worn the shirt once or twice. WTF! A hole!

I know this shirt cost a small fortune too, because:

1. Its a ladies baby doll shirt.

2. All the shirts at the show were ridiculously priced.

I have shirts from The Monkees' 20th Anniversary tour that don't have holes in them and they are over 20 years old! (And were worn EVERYWHERE!)

I'm seriously angry about this. And its not as if Elvis Costello is one of the overpriced concerts coming to the Burgh this summer.

The only shirt I've ever worn out is one from a local band that I did wear a lot, & slept in on a few occasions. The seams along the arms came undone pretty bad, so it's sitting in my room as my next project - I'm going to modify it in some way, haven't decided how yet. I need to finish the skirt I'm making out of an old pair of jeans first.
