A couple times a year I dust off the equipment and print t-shirts for friends or events that I work with. I really enjoy the process of going from idea conception to final product. The printing itself is almost a form of meditation for me. The beginning of each project takes precision and concentration, but once you get through the first couple prints, the process begins to flow and develops a rhythm. Usually about this time I turn on some
pretty lights, pour a beer and relax as my hands go through the motions. The timing and measuring become natural and I briefly turn into a machine.
Late Friday night I finished printing the t-shirts for Berto and the boys over at
pullharder.org. If you haven't visited their website, do so. It's climbing-centric with a hint of shenanigans. On October 16th, they are hosting the 2nd annual pullharder.org marathon in San Diego and I hear the t-shirts are awesome!
San Diego has a special place in my heart and I try to visit as much as possible, but unfortunately I won't be running. I'll be in Oregon coaching at
Lumpy Waters. If what I hear about this paddling event is even close to accurate, then it will be a hell of a good time. Everyone I speak with agrees that the team at
Alder Creek do a damn good job with it.
