Bands in high school are a weird thing. One thing that unites nearly any band in existence is at one time they made t-shirts for their friends. I can recall being a ticket number behind winning a free Grey Larry shirt because I let major donor Brian go ahead of me in line. This is the brush with a shirt that was successful.

Ho-made consisted of Adam, Eric, and Donor Josh. Donor Josh is the crucial link to this shirt because it is he who had access to a silk-screening machine.

Anyway, ho-made were a party band that performed at parties that I never was at due to not having any idea. "Chemistry Bitch" was the flagship song that roused the spirits of anyone who was within earshot. The "'band' of rejects . . . has 'banned' itself from the band of bands that ruin music." Ho-made tends to be on extended hiatus due to the three members' lives branching off in different geographical directions.

At the time of acquisition, it could accurately be said that I was not really in the extended clique that made up most of the fans at school. High school can be an odd place where clothes matter more then they really should. Anyway, there was some puzzlement as to how someone not associated with an athletic team was able to acquire the cool shirt to have that season. Simple, treating people with respect allows one to cross boundaries that people who are not respectful think exist between people. We are all together in this world. The sooner you realize that the better off we will be.

The note that must be made about this shirt is that the shirt was not free, but the silkscreen was of no cost. Normally, I wouldn't put a shirt of this circumstance on the archive, but in this case I show respect to a group of friends.
