Bigwig

Artist: Bigwig

Purchased:  Show

Bigwig was/is such a huge part of my life.  This band was the soundtrack to everything for me in high school.  From meeting my high school girlfriend by asking her if she heard Girl In The Green Jacket to late night drives listening to Invitation To Tragedy.  Everything this band has done has been pure gold IMO.  Check Em Out!

Welcome!

There is a lot to say here but I'm going to start with a little bit about myself.  Kind of like one of those get to know your classmate exercises everyone did on the first day of school.  My name is Brian and I am 29 years old.  I am straight edge but not vegan or vegetarian.  I have many times humored the idea of giving up meat but it isn't for me at this point in time.  I play drums in a hardcore punk band called Entropy NY.  You can buy our 7" record from Say-10 Records. I work in a school and I sometimes explore abandoned buildings.  I also have a pretty sweet girlfriend too.  Anyways, my friends have been telling me to do some sort of documentation of all my t-shirts so I guess this is more for my friends.  What I am going to do is wear one shirt a day until and try not to repeat any until I reach the end of my collection.  I will post a little blurb about the band, maybe post a music video or something, tell where the shirt came from, ect…  I am super excited about this because it give me something to do besides sit on my bed, eat cookies and watch netflix all night. Take care!
Brian
