"Opening Soon!"

I don't have any further details yet, but I was driving down Garland Road yesterday and spotted a new sign out front of the newly repainted Jupiter Lanes. So, keep your fingers crossed, your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. I hope to have some new news soon.

Save Jupiter Lanes - the T-shirt


Remember that TV commercial from the swinging '70s, where that Indian chief (Iron Eyes Cody, for those not in the know) would be walking along the highway and he'd notice all the litter along the highway, and a tear would come to his eye? Remember that?

Well, here's how I envision the "Save Jupiter Lanes" T-shirt: There's Cotton Schwabb in the foreground, with a littering Indian-like tear in his eye, and in the background you'd see, for sure, the neon Jupiter Lanes "BOWL" sign and, perhaps, even the image of the Jupiter Lanes building itself. Somewhere on the shirt, of course, it would say "Save Jupiter Lanes."

Now, whether Jupiter Lanes re-opens for business or not, whether it's next incarnation is a bowling alley, or not, this is a T-shirt that still needs to be made, I think. No. I demand. Actually, I ask for help. Your help. Anyone want to help me design a T-shirt? There's $500 and a baggie of pot in it for you if you do.

I thank you. Your children will thank you. The guy I'm going to buy the pot from will certainly thank you as well. Mark it 8.
