I'm Wearing It Anyway

March 23rd, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

This is Craig Gross wearing the shirt I mentioned in that last blog entry. He says I can’t wear it for my CNN interview tomorrow. :(

Stephen, a xxxchurch intern that’s here in Illinois with us for tomorrow’s Porn and Pancakes event, says, “I don’t think it’s all that bad. The colors show up better in the light.”

I think Stephen’s patronizing me.

I’m thinking I’ll wear the shirt anyway.

Yep, I wore it. Here we are on stage, speaking at “Porn & Pancakes” in Morton, IL. I like the shirt. I guess that makes sense, though, since i bought it.

    Well, taste is relative, and I do not claim to have a lot of it. After all, my current preferences tend to run toward army surplus camo in as many variations as I can find. I sort of like the effect of wearing it with my Aussie outback hat with the bandana and the peace sign button on it.

    However, I have to agree with Craig. The shirt looks like a tablecloth. Perhaps something a bit more subdued for television?

    This is a tough call. I honestly like the shirt, but it’s a shirt that sort of commands attention. The question is whether you want the viewers tuning in to say things like, “Hey Martha, get a load of this guy’s shirt,” as opposed to, “Hey Martha, come listen to what this guy is saying.”

    My advice would be to wear the shirt to the after-party, but for a TV appearance, I would recommend making sure there’s nothing drawing attention away from the importance of what you’re saying.

    And Craig made sure everyone in attendance knew about it, too. In case they didn’t notice.

    Just a few moments after having lunch today, following Porn and Pancakes and all the media attention, Craig said,

    “I’m really glad you’re still losing a lot of weight. What that means is this shirt will soon be way too big for you and I’ll never have to see it again!”
