Smorgasbord – SXE Longsleeve

A Smorgasbord Records longsleeve.

You don’t see a lot of these on ebay anymore.

Hell, you don’t EVER see any in this condition. Most have super cracked fronts and back, ink chipping off everywhere. This one looks minty fresh. But it’s OG, fear not.

Actually, who am I talking to? No one is vegetarian anymore, let along straight edge AND vegetarian. I know some people go by the rule, “I’M NOT sxe or vegan but EARTH CRISIS IS sxe and vegan. That’s their thing, not MY thing.” But that’s not how I roll. Back when I was not straight edge, I refused to buy any gear that proclaimed “Straight Edge.” To me, maybe it’s those particular labels because I definitely don’t see any issue with rocking an ironic Have Heart pot leaf tee (if I owned one, that is).

I’ve been thinking about it some more, and my list of vegan sxe friends is actually larger than I recall. Lets run through it again: Pete, Cushman, Dalbec, Tre, Klint, Raio, The Wrenns, Mike Alert, … Damn, that’s almost forcing me to use my toes to count em all.

“… time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” — Leonardo Da Vinci

I can probably scoop this one up for cheap since no one is both straight edge and veg anymore. I hope the reserve isn’t too high.
