Scott's Year in Shirts #127 - "I Love Didi"

Someone used to love someone named Didi so much so that someone created a hastily thrown-together and poorly design shirt to express this love. Considering this shirt ended up at a Salvation Army store in Van Nuys, CA, one can only assume that "someone" and "Didi" are no more. Your loss is my gain, someone.

Scott's Year in Shirts #126 - "Duffy's Tavern"


I've never heard of Duffy's Tavern before, but their shirt features Jesus and an 18-wheeler, and that's good enough for me. Those dudes behind me are available for rental according to the sign in the window.

Scott's Year In Shirts #125 - "Henry's Tacos"


In honor of Cinco de Mayo I thought I would wear a shirt from my third favorite taco joint in the valley, Henry's Tacos! Located on the corner of Moorpark and Tujunga, it's just a stone's throw from Vitello's where Robert Blake shot his wife back in the day. Henry's has mighty tasty, slightly overpriced tacos and they also make a pretty good taco burger. Cash only (it is a stand, after all) and closed on Sunday! For the record, my favorite taco joint in the valley is La Fogata.

Scott's Year in Shirts #124 - "John Vanderslice - Pixel Revolt"


John Vanderslice, composer, uber producer and all around awesome dude. Big fan of the man's music, especially "Time Travel Is Lonely," "Cellar Door" and "Pixel Revolt." Haven't quite wrapped my brain around the newest record yet. Looking back, I wish I had brushed the Nilla Wafer crumbs off of the shirt before I took the photo. I certainly meant no disrespect to Vanderslice.

Scott's Year in Shirts #123 - "A Nightmare on Elm Street"


I was going to wear this shirt on Friday, but it just fell through the cracks. No literally, there's a crack between my dresser and the wall and I have so many shirts stacked up that this one took a tumble off the side. I'm not sure how old this is or which version of Freddy is featured on the shirt, but at least he has clear facial features like a nose and ears, unlike the current version.

Scott's Year in Shirts #122 - "The Swell Season"


The Swell Season is the band with the Irish dude from that movie who meets that Czech chick and then they make music and fall in love but don't end up together because she's married or something. The movie was made for like $5 and was a big indie hit. The band is pretty good too. I saw 'em at that venue in Hollywood where they have a big bowl and like 20,000 seats. Whatever that place is called. Yeah.

Scott's Year in Shirts #121 - "Griffith Observatory"


I've been in L.A. for over 4 years now and it took me until tonight to finally go and check out the Griffith Observatory. Carol and I had a nice dinner with some friends at Ca Del Sol and then decided to check out the night views of the city from the observatory. I was really blown away at how beautiful the city looks from so high up. Being sort of drunk helped, I think.
