SLPC's got cool stuff now :)

Yep, the Salt Lake Piping Club has opened a webstore at cafe press - the same site that hosts Dale and Chiff and Fipple:

There’s all sorts of things to get now. Back when they started it was just a few shirts and such. Now it includes steins, frisbees and thongs - and of course we’ve got one of each. :wink:

I wonder if Dale has thongs yet… :devil:

Bri~

I had to buy the baby shirt, good job guys. I might have to buy the thong next pay day :blush:

Good to hear Darren! Now I know you want that thong! :laughing: If ya let me know before you order it, I can customize it with your name and everything!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow! :astonished:

I am stunned by the variety of SLC Pipers’ Club merchandise.
Pretty impressive!

Hey! I just received my thong. What are these stains?

:smiley:

djm

Uhhh…good luck marks? :laughing: Perhaps someone was wearing them when they played their brand new full set for the first time and got a little too excited? Maybe they got sent back and then shipped out again??

Maybe uh…aw crud! ducks and runs

ROTFLOL

I like the coaster tiles. shnazzy.

Thanks for the post djm, I think I’ll cancel my thong order now.

Great stuff Brian!

The only thing I miss is a good close up top view of the chanter, reed cap off and the text
REED MY LIPS!

Cheers!

I may have to work up a graphic for one of the mugs that has the reed phrase on it - great stuff! My only real disappointment however was that the SLPC’s mascott, a cantankerous old llama named Baxter, wasn’t represented in the clothing or merchandising. I mean, would it have killed them to include a little stuffed llama that would spit when you squoze it? Or perhaps a genuine llama shirt? The make one for dogs…

I can see it now: Just like the dog shirt, except it would read:

Bagpipes make me SPIT!” and the little smiley face on the reed would of course then be updated to a llama face. It could work I tell ya! :laughing: :laughing:

I think you’re really on to something here, Brian. Probably a best seller. The cosmic connections between llamas and UPs may not be immediately apparent, but if t-shirt art can define our whole world, imagine the revelation of a plush llama toy that really spits! Incredible! :smiley:

djm

The choice of the mighty llama was no coincidence you understand. I mean, just watch any piper closely in a session and he’s spitting all the time - when the bar maid brings his Guinness with two inches of foam for a head, when the new banjo player wants to run through Kesh Jig twenty times at 20 beats per minute, whenever the other session players ask him/her to tune!

The connection seemed very natural to us. Maybe Cafépress could at least offer a llama water dish, or perhaps a llama muzzle bag??? Are we really asking that much here??

Oh my God! :astonished: There is actually a thong available! I thought you guys were joking! :laughing: :laughing: Nice stuff Brian!

Joking?? Hell no! We’re the real deal man! :smiling_imp: :laughing: How piping clubs of the world ever got this far withOUT thongs before completely escapes me!

G-strings perhaps? :smiley:

djm

Yeah but have you seen those with your local piping club logo either? I haven’t. I think we’re filling a very serious void in the world of piping and for fashion in general. The world is ready - now is the time! Wear your thongs proudly men! Stand tall! Let the wedgies commence!!

I understand there will be a film crew at North Hero this summer.

I dares ya. I double dares ya. :laughing:

Dare I say it?


very CHEEKY, Brian. Very CHEEKY indeed…

We just added a new photo and ‘logo’ to several items inspired by Dale here who was inspired by Charelton Heston and the NRA if I recall correctly. Look for the cranky old piper-

Bri~

so I have the thong here…uh…which side goes in front and which in back? Oh, wait a minute, I got it now…yikes!!! That’s snug.

Okay, I figured out what the stains on my new SLPC thong are. Apparently Joseph’s dog got a hold of them (see his avatar). Is dog-drool supposed to be good luck or something? :boggle:
