We're not dead, yet. Just on tour.

News Update

********************************************************

Well, it's been a summer like that old Chinese curse that says, "May you live in interesting times." A lotta good tours went really well, and some pretty high profile tours got cancelled and left a lotta good crews out of work (we're looking at you, Aerosmith, Jackson, etc). About the only thing everyone agrees on is that we're glad 2009 is on the way out.

The good news is that holidays (hopefully spent with family) are around the corner, things are just -maybe- starting to look up in the banking/mortgage world, and we've got a new thing for you at ThisGigSucks!

Here, at last, by popular request...
(drum roll, please...)
A terrific long-sleeve cotton Tee in our most popular design, '....This Is My Job...' is available now!

In all sizes from Medium to 2XL, it comes in show black with our website logo on the front breast in white.

Just in time for brisk weather outside, or more likely the always-freezing arena, this comfy long sleeve Tee is, like all our swag, printed on 6.1 oz pre-shrunk Gildan Ultra-Weight cotton, the heaviest weight available. You will not find cooler swag at any price, and these are only $20 each! How cool is THAT?!

So stock up before your fall and winter tours get rolling, or get one for the roadie in your life to keep them warmer!

Remember: keeping warm=staying healthy=avoiding the swine flu GUARANTEED*

*This statement not evaluated or approved by the Centers For Disease Control, Surgeons General, The FDA, the FAA, SPCA, or any other official organization, anywhere. Swag -however righteous- is no guarantee of good health or any health. ThisGigSucks clothing will not prevent or cure any disease, ailment, or pain common to roadies including but not limited to H1N1 influenza, the common cold, common fever, headache, tinitis, shinsplints, backache, plantar fasciitis, sprains, bruises, warts, short-attention span, corns, smashed fingers, narcolepsy, sleeplessness, deafness, gout, plague, Wii incompetence, malaria, hemorrhagic fever, drunkeness, migraine, SARS, or general shitty attitude. Besides, if you're really worried about the swine flu thing try washing your hands more than twice a day, stupid. Oh, and for that matter, keeping warmer doesn't actually mean keeping healthier if you're sleeping on a bus.

Our regular Tee shirts are still $15 each, shipping is still $6 for any USA destination, and we're still here to provide the baddest-ass swag on the road.

Gig Hard.

Peace, Ya'll.

********************************************************

Our shipping policy is still the ridiculously simple, friendly concept that every domestic order costs $6 to ship, flat rate. We don't care where you live in the US, or how many shirts you're ordering. Some websites' shipping costs are complicated and often hidden until the end of the checkout procedure, when they're sure you've taken so much time that you won't back out. That pisses us off, and that's why we post our shipping rate on the Welcome Page. All websites that post shipping costs the unfriendly way can kiss our asses. (See how much friendlier we are?)

Shipping is by the US Postal Service, to keep costs down to YOU. Their stated delivery window is 7-10 business days, although sometimes it's faster.

International customer? We of course ship internationally (we get an especially large number of orders from Sweden, for some reason) but those costs will vary by country, so please email us directly at shirts@thisgigsucks.com with your shirt order and address BEFORE making any payment through paypal.

Which brings up another point: Friends, this is a business run from the road. Working crews all know what that means, but I'll elaborate for the few punters who stumble onto this site (read: non-touring people) and also all you ex-roadies who've retired to cushy House Gigs (read: sitting in front of your T-1 line computer, coffee machine, and TV in your "office" backstage, you-know-who-you-are!). We are on tour. This means we don't have internet access every day. Sometimes it just means we're on a long bus ride, or at an especially bad gig, or just having an especially hard couple of show days. We won't leave you hanging, and we promise we'll let you know when your swag shipped, but don't go crazy if you haven't heard from us in 24 or 48 hours.

All our swag is printed on 6.1 oz, pre-shrunk 100% cotton, which is the heaviest weight swag made (ask your merch guy or gal if you don't believe us). We've sent ours through a million fluff-and-folds, and it holds up, so buy with confidence.

Not all shirts are available in every size all the time. If you don't see your size for a particular shirt, it means we're temporarily sold out. Feel free to email us if you want to be notified when a certain size and style comes in at shirts@thisgigsucks.com.

Everyone be careful out there in 2008. This is a hazardous business, Brothas & Sisters, and your motorcycle should kill you, not your gig.
