"You should just make shirts that say "I Know Bob
Durstock."" This is the one sentence that started everything. Ever since my friend Brent said this I have been making "I Know Bob
Durstock" shirts.
I first made 50 and sold them for just enough for me to break even. Well, I kept getting request to make more and more. So I did. They ended up on the Fox19 Morning News a few times, and after that people were getting ahold of me in every way to try and get one of the shirts. During the beginning I would get emails for people wanting them for their kids as Christmas presents...so I delivered.
Some fun facts:
-Shirts can be found in over ten states
-A local restaurant has its employees wearing IKBD apparel
-A construction company in Indiana has bright safety green IKBD shirts
-I am trying to do a shirt a month in 2010 (I missed March so maybe I will just do two shirts in another month. You'll have to stay tuned to see what's up)
Everything is going very well right now. With the help of the guys at
RockitIM, I have a new online store that currently has four different shirts for sale ("The First One," "The Hullabaloo Concert Edition," "The Invasion," and "Show Some Love.") and more to come in the very near future. My April shirt is going to be titled "April Showers." I have designs being developed that will continue to make
IKBD apparel fun and enjoyable. Without you reading this post and spreading the news and buying some shirts, this fun idea would come to a standstill. So thank you very much for taking the time to check out www.iknowbobdurstock.com and keep checking back and why not buy a shirt or two while you're here? Peace.
