An idea....possibly toxic as that phrase is being tossed around a viral hot potato.
But regardless of that hey, there sports fans, Al here with the latest.
Well, I had already talked about how real life can play a major factor in how you choose an art piece and this new piece is based exactly on that premise.
Well, this new T-shirt design that I have thought about making harkens back to a friend’s birthday party several years ago. Let me give some context (another buzzword).
My friend, we'll call him Pete, was celebrating his 35th birthday at his house. There were several people and a couple of family groups there all talking and carrying on and generally having a good time. My girlfriend and I had arrived and were making the rounds. Generally, a good time to be had by all.
One of those guests at Pete's birthday a guy we'll call Steve. Steve was already enbibing a bunch of liquor when we got there but Steve was being a bit boisterous but generally being fun.
All was going well that was until my former roommate had arrived with her co-worker, we'll call him P2. P2 is the kind of guy who is a great egotist. A very knowledgeable younger guy by about 15 years compared to moi. I ain't the smartest guy in the world but I do try to keep tabs on the populist things going on in the world so I can chime in on topics when I can.
HERE comes the scene- A small longish kitchen which is somewhat crowded as all kitchens do when there is a party going on. I had just gone outside with a beer talking about the latest movie that had come out and talked about its merits and all that.
Unknown, to me both P2 and Steve had both converged on that smallish walkway in the kitchen.
Anyhow, while in the backyard a "skirmish" of sorts had happened and P2 comes bursting out of the houses metal screen door into the backyard pissed off with rage in his eyes. "FUCK THAT GUY!"
Of course, Pete wants to know what just happened in his kitchen, and then Steve comes out defending what he did.
A disagreement about the age and dealing with Millenials, a headlock, AND something about showing off chest hair and a comment about Silverback Gorillas.
Now at this point in this story, I should add I didn't see this but sometimes the retelling of a situation is better for the story and sparks the creativity in me.
So there you have it.
So the Silverback Club was born and with it the sub title “Are you MAN enough for it?”
