Slowdown Virginia, Cursive and Don Gerard

Slowdown Virginia is reuniting tonight at Slowdown (the club was named after the band) for the first time in over 15 years. The band consisted of members of Cursive and Criteria. Also on the bill tonight is another 90's Omaha band Polecat, featuring Ted Stevens of Cursive and Lullaby for the Working Class. We made 2 new Slowdown shirts for the show.

 

Cursive is off to Chicago for New Years Eve to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Domestica. They will play it in its entirety, followed by a set of songs from their other records. Seems like just yesterday Ted and Tim were writing guitar parts for that record in our living room. We made 2 new shirts and a poster to commemorate the show.

We also made some shirts for Champaign, Ill mayoral candidate Don Gerard. Any candidate that puts a 7" record on their shirt has my vote. 

And finally, this is the last blog post of the year. We are taking next week off to decompress and reflect on all the things we've done this year. We made almost 44,000 prints this year using roughly 36 gallons of ink....give or take. Hoping 2011 will be a good year for us and we will meet some new bands to work with. Thanks to everyone who did business with us or read our blog. We hope its entertaining if nothing else.

Happy Holidays. Be Safe.
