When I make a video that gets 3,500 views in a day, I guess I should post it here, too -
Here we see Syracuse men's Basketball coach Jim Boeheim picking his nose and immediately licking his finger.
His use of a mask in a pandemic leaves much to be desired as well. Terrible example for the 20 young men he leads.
All I can say, as I said in the video, is WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Uncle Sam's was a disco nightclub chain in several US cities from the mid 70s to the late 80s.
There were clubs in Houston, Detroit, Providence, Levittown, Minneapolis, Buffalo, Des Moines, and Syracuse. At least. There were probably more.
Uncle Sam's - "Let's Spend the Night Together"
Shiny Happy Customers Night in Buffalo looks like fun.
Shot of the Minneapolis merch table in 1977. T-shirts cost $3.99!
This 70s Uncle Sam's t-shirt seems to be from 1976. It's in great shape and ready to do the hustle. Check it out at Skippy Haha Vintage Etsy now!

When I saw this t-shirt graphic, I thought Amigos was a Mexican restaurant/bar in Denver celebrating some big wins by Elway in 1980, 1982, and 1984 with endless nachos.
I was way off.
The 3 Amigos were Elway's wide receivers, and those were their jersey numbers.
According to the Mile High Report: "For about two years starting in 1987, there was John Elway and then there were the Three Amigos - Vance Johnson (82), Mark Jackson (80), and Ricky Nattiel (84). They were larger than life for that short period of time and it was a fun ride."
No confirmation on whether they all fit under the same sombrero.
Check out the Amigos Say Olé Elway! t-shirt on SHV Etsy.

I watched the Pawn Stars episode this week, Season 18, Episode 9 "Raiders of the Lost Pawn", excited because "vintage t-shirts" were involved.
A man brings in 2 baseball raglan concert tees - one from 1982 The Who tour and 1981 Rolling Stones tour.
He said he bought them himself and hung them in his closet for the next 40 years, unworn. This is not the best idea. A better idea is to fold your t-shirts in a closet where the sun don't shine. Hanging t-shirts can stretch out the necklines, and if you use metal hangers (it appears this man thankfully used plastic), rust lines can transfer on the shoulders of the tees.
Chum Lee expressed how cool the tees were but he wasn't an expert so they called one in.
The expert did not appear to be an expert in my opinion. He didn't even look at the tags! The Rolling Stones dragon graphic has been reproduced thousands of times by places like Forever 21. I appreciate his mentioning "single stitch" on the hems, but you don't know what you have unless you LOOK AT THE TAGS.
The tags were not even mentioned. I take this as vintage t-shirt blasphemy.
What size are they? If they're Small or Medium, 90% of the population will never fit in them so their value is less than if they're Large or XL.
The expert called the Rolling Stones tee a "holy grail" and valued it at $500.
I have personally sold several vintage Rolling Stones tour tees, one from 1978 that said "Happy Birthday Mick" and had Peter Tosh on back for $420 in 2005,
and one from the Pontiac Silverdome for $50 (!!!) in 2011.
I think both of these are cooler and more rare and more valuable than the generic 1981 tour tee that doesn't even have the co-bill on back, it's a list of 20 tour stops.
There were thousands of these tees made for every stop of the tour. They're not a dime a dozen, but they're not a holy grail either, especially since big box retailers are reproducing the graphic. Rick pays $300 for this, he could have bought one, even cooler, for $125 any day of the week.
Rick ends up paying $100 for the Who tee. Rick got a decent deal on this - I would ask $200 for that tee.
I see on their website they're now selling the Rolling Stones tee for $525 UPDATE they jacked the price to $550 yesterday and there are no pics of the tag. Silly.
All in all, I'm disappointed there was no focus whatsoever on the TAGS of these t-shirts - that is the only way to gauge their authenticity. Very cool t-shirts, in mint condition which certainly adds value - Rick got a bad deal on one, and a good deal on the other. I give the episode B-.
Rick, if you need a t-shirt expert like Rare Books Rebecca, call me!

Here's a 70's t-shirt from Cap's Place Island Restaurant and Bar - Lighthouse Point, Florida
The back says it's been there for 100 years so I did some digging.
Their website claims they're Broward County's oldest restaurant - "with roots as a 1920's casino and rum-running speakeasy, it sits on an island off Lighthouse Point and can only be reached by Cap's motor launch.
Back
in the 20's in No-Man's Land Florida, Cap Knight, Lola Knight and Al Hasis
brought together a group of wooden shacks attached to an old barge which was
floated up the present day intracoastal waterway from Miami to its location on
Cap's Island near the fabled Hillsboro lighthouse north of Fort Lauderdale.
This was a rum-running restaurant and gambling casino, nestled on an island in
the coastal marsh."
"Among some of the notables who have enjoyed Cap’s creative cuisine are Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers, Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, Casey Stengel, George Harrison, Errol Flynn, the Temptations, Susan Hayward, Gloria Swanson, Mariah Carey, "Norm" from TV's Cheers and Joe Namath. Cap's has hosted the famous and infamous for decades."
NORM!

You may remember Kri-STAR-iffic from the Kitshickers kickball team and GLOK (Gorgeous Ladies of Kickball) Vintage Vantage modelfests.
She (real name - Krista Bach) took her talents from San Diego to her home state of Wisconsin and started a family and last year opened her very own DIY studio and crafting bar - Rec Room Craft Co!
And 4 months later COVID hit and she had to pivot or lose everything.
So she thought of ways to keep a DIY Craft business going in a contagious pandemic and what did she find?
Kits! Do it yourself AT HOME Craft Kits!
I ordered a small String Art kit!
The instructions were so easy to follow.
I had a blast hammering nails into a dog shape.
Tying knots from nail to nail, suddenly a dog appeared!
Twins!
Beautiful and fun new dog crafts!
These are great for older kids and adults. All the kids on my holiday shopping list are getting something from Rec Room Craft Co. this year.
It's not just string art! Check out the Indigo Dye Kit!
And the Paint Pour Kits!
Order something for yourself, or someone you love who's crafty and creative, support a small business, and everyone will be so happy!

As I reflect on the enormous effort mountain firefighters expended in the last 2 days to make sure no people, animals, and houses burned down during the Elephant Butte Wildfire in Evergreen, I am thankful and proud and happy.
I watched neighbors on the news who went down to the lake to "cheer the firefighters on and say go team!" There was zero political polarization in local online groups - people were opening their houses and stables to displaced families and animals and sharing information kindly.
Nobody said "how are we going to pay for this? Who is paying for this?" We were all scared and put our trust in our government to take care of the danger, and they did. It was glorious.
Imagine feeling this way about our education system and our healthcare system. Imagine feeling that our taxes were going to make sure every kid hit their potential, that every neighbor was able to see a doctor when they're sick.
It could be beautiful.

Evergreen, CO, population 9000, 97% white, had a Black Lives Matter protest today. Over 300 people showed up, babies to seniors, wearing masks and carrying signs, to show solidarity and listen to two black speakers - 12 year old Felix, Ethiopian, and the only black kid in his Evergreen Middle School class - spoke with courage and humor and honesty. Very inspiring.
Then Chris Burroughs the biracial drag queen genius organizer actor, read out the names of black Americans killed by the police for 8:46 for George Floyd. He spoke truth to power about the discrimination he faced growing up here and advocated for real change aka #defundthepolice and finally put it back on us - it's up to we white people to do the work. One day he will be more famous than Trey Parker.
There's a community he(art) installation at the Center for the Arts where people can write names to honor and other messages of solidarity on hearts and stick them to the wall.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around ❤️🖤🌲
