The Update on BurnTees

So BurnTees has been open for less than a month now, but we're doing pretty well so far. We've averaging about 85 unique visitors a day which I think is great. Just wanted to give you all an update on some of our latest ideas and plans for the site.

We'll definitely be adding a few New Jersey designs within the next few days that we think everyone will really like. Our New Jersey is for Guidos shirt (find it here) has actually been our top seller so far so we're hoping that these new New Jersey shirts will do well. We'll also be adding a new sports design in the near future for the upcoming football season that we know all you Giants fans will enjoy.

Since neither of us are really web designers, future plans for the website itself may take a while, but we have some great ideas in mind. I also wanted to try and get the word out that we'd love to see photos of you with our BurnTees products for our "customer picture" section that doesn't actually exist yet. I've received one picture so far (Thanks Sherly!!) and it looks great. I can't wait to get more so we can get that going.

We've also added a custom design section to our page. If you need shirts made, come to us! As soon as poser boy posts the pictures, we'll have some custom designs posted on the site that he's done in the past. You can email us the idea for the shirt at custom@burntees.com and we'll work with you to design a shirt that's perfect for you (don't forget we can put your design on all types of products. here's a full list).

I know I mentioned this in the newsletter (by the way, if you haven't signed up for the newsletter yet, make sure you do by going to the site and putting your email in the space provided on the left. you won't get any spam, just a newsletter from us ever few weeks)...but...if you can...PLEASE click on the links at the bottom of the page to vote for our shirts (Please!!). Every vote counts on those sites and we can really get a lot of exposure if we move up in the ranks. (feel free to click the google ads too cause we make money off of those :) ).

OK, enough about the website.

I'm a little worried to be quite honest. My roomate went to Amsterdam for work, and we haven't heard from him. As far as we know, this is what happened:

Upon arriving in Amsterdam, my roomate (we shall call him Mike) decided that he'd be a good boy since he was there on business and went straight to the hotel. Waking up the next morning, fully rested, Mike was ready to visit the client sites. Boy was he impressive! Mike worked for about 10 hours straight that day and finished a week's worth of work in one day.

The Clients were so impressed that they insisted on taking Mike out for dinner. Mike was reluctant, but in the end accepted the invitation. After a lovely dinner, they moved on to drinks. Mike knew he was in trouble, but tried to maintain his composure. This was, after all, a true test for him.

And boy did he fail. When the clients insisted that he'd had enough, Mike told them to "fuck off!" and preceded to drink by himself at the bar. After an hour by himself, Mike figured it was time to hit up the coffee shops. What better time than when you're wasted already? Mike walked down the street, found the nearest coffee shop, and took a seat.

Thirty five minutes, and 2 joints later, Mike was fucked. When he realized that he didnt' know how to get home, he devised a fool proof plan.

The homeless man's name was Vito and he promised Mike that if he paid him well, he would make sure he got Mike back to his hotel. Vito seemed nice enough, and Mike obliged. What difference did it make? Mike wouldn't even remember the rest of the night anyway.

Mike hasn't been seen since that night, but rumor has it that Mike is still in Amsterdam. After further investigation, authorities have discovered that Vito wasn't a homeless man, he was the most feared Pimp in Amsterdam. Word on the street has it that Mike is currently Vito's personal Man Whore....but doing quite well.

We'll miss you Mikey...and just remember: If you're ever really in trouble, just lock and twist.

Thanks for reading.....

NOW GO BUY STUFF!!!

P.S. - Today was my half birthday and I didn't receive cake, presents, or a single phone call. I'm quite depressed.
