Do the shirts fit you or are they for re-sale?
I just bought a great, large, 1983 Central Florida Fair t-shirt. But after it was washed it shrunk to a medium.
Super bummer! I'll give it to my medium boss Bob.

Those are some great scores!  Post a picture of the bike, if you can.

That is all.

ask and ye shall receive:


and also, the shirts are mainly for resale. i co-own a small vintage shop up here in pdx. however, i bought both with the intention of wearing them but alas, they just dont fit right (although '70's-'82 hanes orange tags are some of the best fitting shirts [the bruce]). the PE shirt has an old hanes fifty-fifty tag. such is life.

You're talking about the piano keyboard that snaps over the C=64 keyboard, right?  We had one of those...  I'm quite sure its still in my mother's basement too.  Did you get all the software with it?  I'm sure I can probably copy the software disks if they are still readable.

yeah, vintage computing is my bag really, c64 stuff mainly. when commodore designed their computer, they hired an actual synthesis programmer named bob yannes to design their sound chip. the result was the SID chip, one of the most powerful analog sound chips available at the time. thats why i'm so into c64 stuff, because i'm a musician and i harness the power of the SID to use the c64 as an actual live instrument.

as for you, jay, i deeply appreciate the offer but mine CIB, even the stickers were unpeeled! thanks either way, though.
