Im more stoked on danpush301’s description than the actual item up for bid. Dude got it at the Sports Palace in New Britain, CT and im stoked cause I was at the show too! I remember it well. Ill let the seller give you the details if you wanna hear about the gig. I just think its kinda cool that like 16 years ago me and that dude were at the same place and now we have another mini connection over this site.
RIP Chuck Valle
As long as loop88 continues to sell cool things I will continue to post them. I like his auctions cause they always have cool anecdotes in the descriptions about where he got them or his experience seeing the band or something cool. This auction doesnt fail to deliver.
“I was at home in 94 one day and a random call from MAD booking in Europe called my house and they wanted to book an Unbroken tour and said it was with No For An Answer (my mind was blow as I wasn’t sure if I heard the guy correctly as his accent was so thick, so I asked him to repeat it and he said “No For An Answer” yelling it. I was like ok, so I took all the information down being confused as I was and gave it to Rob of Unbroken. Unbroken turned down the tour as they weren’t feeling it, it than got pushed to Mean Season who did do the tour instead. Anyhow, I got this shirt from a dude in Mean Season who brought it back for me and I have held on to it ever since”
He also states that “The original shirt made in the late 80’s only for a few people in their circle of friends”. Is he referring to a longsleeve or this design in general? I feel like ive seen a ton of Jack rip offs. Hell, even I own one. Can anyone clarify?
Thank you to loop88 for making my job(hobby) easier and giving me so many things to write about recently.
One time my friend and fellow stage diver Ed Heley got some free tickets from his college radio station to see Orange 9mm at Toad’s Place in New Haven CT. We didnt really give a shit about Orange 9mm at that point in time but we had nothing much else to do. There was also a Fastbreak basement show in New Haven that same night so we decided to check out the Orange 9mm gig first in hopes of seeing a Burn cover. Obviously cause we were imature dicks so we heckled Burn songs throughout the set. Finally when Ed yelled “shall be judged” Chaka just replied “guilty” and we knew there was no Burn covers in the cards so we decided to head over to the Fastbreak. At this time there was a No Stagediving policy at club so what better way to leave then by private security escort. So we both started diving and got kicked out by the bouncers. Then we headed over to the Fastbreak basement gig and were stoked because there was also an impromptu BreakFaith reunion gig. Overall A+ night.
Over the year, we’ve seen a lot of great Unbroken tees. Some good ones, some great ones. Not a lot of terrible ones (thankfully), but I don’t think we’ve ever come across a hooded sweatshirt. Thanks to haircutandtshirt, we have our first hood. And it’s a good one. Everyone loves the life.love.regret design; we always see people fighting it out towards the end of these auctions. It happens, and with good reason. I won’t be the guy fighting you over this one so don’t fear. Have at it.
