I was a'wearing the green OK Go (oh no logo) shirt in school when I flipped out to a friend about the new merch. They took one look at my shirt and gave me a disappointed, "damn, you're addicted" look.
Ahhh, thank you Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore and Poison for your most excellent information.... You are the shiznits of today's future america. Congrats to you!!!! Yayyyy! You win. but not for long...
I do think that a contest on designing a T-shirt is a neat idea and maybe also a separate challenge that only uses puff paint...
Oh, I rule at puff paint. I used to make fabulous Quidditch tee-shirts for me and my friends using puff paint. It took me hours, but they were great.
wow that's neato...I didn't know who or what Quidditch was so I had to look it up but now I know! Amazing I say! That must have been one complicated and drawn out process!

You didn't know what Quidditch was??? Sorry, I'm such a Harry Potter nutter, I can't imagine not knowing about Quidditch! They did take quite a while. The last ones I made were red with a plain Gryffindor crest with "Gryffindor Quidditch" on the front, and the players' name and number on the back with the Hogwrats crest on the right sleeve.
All done by hand with paint, mind you.
I want to make more- I haven't made any in ages. Hopefully I will soon have access to a screenprinter which will make it a lot easier.

Screenprinting is alot of fun, I miss it alot, actually I am in the midst of looking for a home kit, I definitely wish I still had access to a screenprinting place...All I's know is you will definitely love it! Screenprinting is awesome! and yeah I'm kinda not in the loop on Harry Potter stuff, maybe I should start but then I would probably become addicted like the 10s of thousands of trillion people out there already are...
So I told my mom about these gift certificates, and she asked, "What do you use them for???" So I explained that they were for the online store.
And she was like, "Oh. I thought maybe you could use them to rent out one of the band members or something ?" And I was like, "Haha, no, they're just for merch, Mom."
To which she said, "Oh, come on, you know you wouldn't mind having what's-his-name for a few hours." ("What's-his-name" is my family's nickname for Damian. Long story.)
And then Christmas Eve, I was in the car with my parents, and my mom said to my dad, "Psst, did you remember to poke air holes in What's-his-name's box???" My parents are odd.

It is sooooooooooo addicting. Sooooooo addicting. Back at the beginning of the school year, it would seriously take me half an hour between when I said "I'm going to take a shower" and me going to the bathroom because, for some reason, my roommate and I inevitably got into discussions about Harry Potter.

So what happened? Was Damian actually in the box? And I don't care how long the story is, Why is Damian called What's-his-name in your family?

Well, see, Christmas morning my family and I woke up to the sounds of struggle, so we went downstairs to find the tree knocked over, the box all in shreads, and poor Damian frantically attempting to work the coffee maker. So we sat him down and gave him a few cups and all was good. I even managed to weasle out the secret of track 14 while he was still in his delirious, coffee-deprived state.
Haha. No, not really. I didn't get a member of OK Go for Christmas. I didn't even get a gift certificate. But I did get a bunch of nifty stuff, which I listed somewhere on this thread.
And now the story of why Damian is known as "What's-his-name":
My family came up to MA to visit me the day after I saw OK Go open for Rufus Wainwright in Northampton, so I was in a very "I <3 OK Go" state of mind. (This is also about the time that Damian the Pirate Apple Rockstar Grammarian was born, but that's an entirely different story.) So my family invaded my room (quite LOUDLY, I might add...) for the first time since I'd gone away to school this year. Now, over my computer, I had my "Wall of Pretty," which consists of pictures of all the pretty men that I love, and right smack-dab in the middle is the pic of Damian from the Jane summer issue (read: pic of 2/3 naked Damian on my wall).
Which my parents had never seen before.
So my mom takes one look at the wall and goes, "WHY IS THERE A NAKED MAN ON YOUR WALL???" So I had to explain that that was Damian of OK Go and why he was naked in the picture.
So then she's wandering around my room some more (which is difficult to do when there are seven people in the room, as it's quite tiny) and looking at the pictures of friends and family I have up all over the place, one of which is the pic of me and Damian from when I saw them back in March, 'cause I honestly think it's a really cute picture.
And my mom's like, "Wait! Who's this guy in the picture with you?!"
And I say, "That's Damian!"
And then, my dad was loading the pics from the concert the night before, and we find the HORRIBLE pic of me and Damian (eventually I will get around to posting these pics, and you will see how terrible of a photo this is of the both of us), and my mom, once again is like, "WAIT! Who's that guy?????"
And once again, I say, "THAT'S DAMIAN!"
So my brother starts going, "Wait, what's his name? Who is that? What's that guy's name????" and my mother starts chiming in, and for the rest of the night, they kept randomly asking me, "What's that guy's name???" which was slightly annoying but rather amusing.
So that's how Damian became "What's-his-name." I even got an Aeropostale tee-shirt from my mom for my birthday that says "I <3 what's his name."
my parents refer to them as the "ok whatever" guys or "ok leave" guys....
the bf likes them but is slightly jealous of my mad fan appreciate and calls them "ok...stop" But he can't deny the way he rocked out at the last 2 shows lol
nehoo that naked pic of damian didnt go over to well with him or my mother...

has anyone purchased the black w/ dandy logo zip hoodie?
The picture is so one-dimensional its hard to imagine the ways it must be fabulous in person/picture. A perfect pentagon hood does it no justice.
