Thanks to all who ordered over Black Friday a few weeks back - it definitely helped clear the shelves a bit!! Just letting you know our special clearance offer is still going on - all shirts and totes are $10, hoodies are $15, and free shipping when your order is $30 or more. We're getting down to just a few shirts left in various sizes, so if you'd still like any of our TT items shown above in time for Christmas, please place your order via the Blorch! Shop no later than Sunday, December 18th. I'll be shipping out all remaining orders by Monday the 19th. Also, I will be out of town December 21st - January 1st, so any orders placed during that time will ship after I get back to MN.

Have a happy holiday and here's to 2012!

Alright, I'm starting the Blorch! Shop sale a few hours early. If you've never owned an official TwinkieTown t-shirt, this is your moment to shine. Head on over there now and the sale is going on as we speak/type. I just wanna get rid of these shirts, y'know what I mean? THE DEAL RUNS THROUGH THE ENTIRE WEEKEND, CYBER MONDAY, AND NEXT WEEK, while supplies last! Gobble gobble!

A BLACK FRIDAY DEAL? Alright, we're no Amazon, but this is our biggest sale to date - starting at MIDNIGHT (CST) this FRIDAY! If you always wanted one of our TwinkieTown products, or have some special fan(s) on your shopping list who could use a colorful tweak to their wardrobe this season, THIS is your chance to save $$$ and help us clear house! I'm moving sometime after the new year, and boy, would it be nice to shrink down my little home warehouse o' tees! That's less boxes to haul for me, and less dollars spent by you! I hate sounding like a pitchman, but hear me out. For the first time ever, we're offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $30! Click here to visit the Blorch! Shop to see what we have left, and take advantage of our Black Friday special beginning at midnight AFTER you wake up from your turkey-induced comas. WHILE SUPPLIES LAST - REMAINING SHIRT SIZES VARY PER DESIGN:

• All remaining Numbersota Tees (including the Super Special Edition): $10
• All remaining Party Tees: $10
• All remaining Thome Tees: $5!
• All remaining Numbersota Tote Bags: $10
• All remaining 408 Hoodies: $15
• AND FREE SHIPPING WHEN YOU SPEND $30 OR MORE!

We're looking forward to the 2012 season already, and that means starting over with a clean slate. Even when it comes to fun shirts rooting for your favorite Major League Baseball team. Jesse and I already have some AWESOME t-shirt ideas for next year. So stay tuned - come spring time, a whole new batch of shirts (yes, plural) will be available on an all-new redesigned Blorch! Shop. We're also planning on doing away with PayPal (finally) and offering a slick shopping cart and checkout process.

As always, if you have any questions, leave a comment below or contact me here. Happy Turkey Day, ev'ryone!

Thanks for the memories, #25! With that, the last of our Thome Tees are only $5 each on the Blorch! Shop. Any help to clear house is much appreciated! Remaining sizes vary per color. And psst... if you have any friends or family in "The Forest City," these make wonderful Labor Day gifts. If gift-giving on Labor Day is even a thing? I'm sure for some baseball fans, it is!

It's been a lackluster summer, no doubt. But I sincerely hope anybody who has purchased Twinkie Town merch in the past year has enjoyed what the Blorch! Shop offers in supporting our home team. We thank you kindly!

And now for something [sort of] different. Our first NON-shirt item! I just got the new totes in and they are now available on the Blorch! Shop for $12. Choose between two fun colors (as shown above). Throw all yer crap in it! I bet it could hold like 25 baseballs or 10 Subway footlongs. The possibilities are endless. Honestly, I hope some of you out there will take one along to your next Twins game. These are quality, durable bags and stand apart from the typical boring canvas tote. Also...

All sizes of the Super Special Edition Numbersota Tee are being reprinted at this very moment, and you can order your size right now. Since they're still in production, please allow 7-10 days for them to ship (as I don't have an exact day/time when I'll have 'em in hands). If you order any other items (like, say, the new tote, or our awesome Party Tee) with this shirt, they will all ship together in 7-10 days. I know a lot of you have been waiting for the re-print so I'm putting them up for sale now. But this is the final run (for real), so once a size shows 'sold out,' you're outta luck.

As always, please leave any questions or concerns in the comments below or contact me via the Blorch! Shop. Thanks everyone! Next new shirt design is coming later this month!

While Jesse and I work out the final kinks of Shirt #4, I just got ahold of a small batch of navy hoodies (60 of them actually) - and they are going into pre-production next week! They are up for pre-order on the Blorch! Shop for $25 right now (available in XL and 2XL only), and shall be at your doorstep the last week of March. Like the limited edition aqua/red Numbersota Tee, this will be pre-order only. The only catch is, I only have 60 of 'em, so once those 60 pre-orders run out, that is all! Click here to visit the Numbersota Hoodie page.

Navy with cherry red ink. Classic Twins colors. Display your love in the springtime weather. These will actually be the rarest TwinkieTown garments to date, so be one of the lucky 60 to wear one.

I'll have another update next week sometime with details on Shirt #4! Hint: It celebrates history much like Numbersota does, but with a little added fun.

Did you miss out on getting a Numbersota Tee (or two) before the holidays? Well, you're in luck! Shirts are back in stock and selling now for only $12 each! The Numbersota Tee showcases the shape of Minnesota with two numbers: 87 and 91 - two years when the Twins made history. Will 11 be the next?? Also, one more thanks to all who ordered the super special edition! It was a huge hit! Like, when you hit a ball with a bat. Metaphorically, THAT kind of hit!

"Hit" up the Blorch! Shop now!

ALSO: to celebrate the 2011 return of Carl Pavano and Jim Thome, all remaining Pavstache and Thome Tees are $10! Please check the Blorch! Shop for remaining sizes!

Shirt #4 is in the works, and 1" buttons and limited edition prints are coming to the shop in the near future! What other kinds of merch would you like to see? Hoodies? Scarves? Ironing board covers? We've only just begun...

Numbersota Tees will be in stock again this weekend! I'll post another update when they are ready. Right now the Blorch! Shop is down as I make a few tweaks, but it should be back to normal by early Friday morning. I'm too sleepy to get it all finished tonight.

P.S. In celebration of the return of Thome and Pavano, all remaining Thome and Pavstache t-shirts will be marked down to $10!

P.P.S. Hoping for the release of Shirt #4 in February!

If you or a special someone wants to find a little special something under the tree this year (like an original TwinkieTown t-shirt!), tomorrow (Friday, December 17th) is the absolute last day to place your order. I will be shipping those off by Saturday so you get them next week prior to Christmas. Some Numbersota Tee sizes are sold out, and only a handful of remaining sizes are still in stock, so don't delay! XL Pavstache and various sizes of Thome Tees still available as well!

Get your shirts here at the Blorch! Shop!

If you haven't seen your shirt(s) arrive yet, you will within the next couple days. A few customers who ordered back in November didn't realize they were pre-orders and were wondering why their shirts hadn't arrived yet. Shirts finished printing on Friday, sorting and initial packaging took place Saturday and Sunday, and orders started shipping out on Monday. Since then I've been packing and shipping each shirt, one by one by one by one, in the order that they were purchased. The final batch of pre-orders are done, so as of this afternoon I am FINALLY caught up! So thanks for your patience as I chiseled away at this huge mountain of Numbersota Tees! I wish I had a crew to help me, but again, I'm doing this all by myself out of my own living room. It has been a popular item and many customers are indeed giving them as gifts this holiday season.

We will keep the white mens and midnight ladies versions of the Numbersota Tee up for sale into 2011, so if you see your size is out of stock right now, I will be printing more after the new year. I'll post another update when more are ready for purchase. I will not be reprinting the aqua/red super special edition! Hence the super special edition title.

Any questions? Go here. Or comment below.

So to all who pre-ordered, shirts will start showing up in your mailboxes next week. I've got a long weekend ahead of me of processing orders and packaging shipments (processed in the order I received them), but they will finally be on their way!

If you STILL want a shirt in time for Christmas, you still have time to place an order! CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE TWINKIE TOWN BLORCH! SHOP now! From what I've read, many unsuspecting Twins fans are getting these as gifts!!

There are only several of each size left, including the popular aqua/red super special edition. I only printed a few extras of those, and because of its special edition status, it's never being printed again. The white mens and midnight ladies shirts are still available, but if a size goes out of stock, I won't be printing any more until after the New Year.

Order by December 17th so it allows enough time for transit. I try to process and ship orders by the next day. All shipments go via USPS Priority Mail, so if you're in Minnesota, it usually arrives the day after I ship. On the east or west coast? Allow 3-4 days for sure, as package deliveries get a little clogged this time of year.

Thanks for your patience! I hope the wait will be worth it. As always, if you have any questions, please leave it in the comments below or submit via the contact page on the Blorch! Shop. Happy Holidays!

P.S. Sunday Funnies: coming back in full force for 2011!

So, uh, how about some cheerful Friday morning news?

via the Blorch! Shop

The Thome Tees have been a HUGE success. So much that they outsold their presale! If you ordered one, thanks! Hope you like 'em as much as I do. Fun fact: while "Speak softly..." is a font, I hand-drew all of the other lettering. And yes, it's supposed to have some worn-out distressing on it. That's been all the rage in t-shirts for a while now.

FYI: The new (and final) batch of shirts are in today, and all pending orders are going out this weekend. So if you haven't seen your shirt(s) yet, your shipment shall arrive by next week.

BIG reminder though: many of the Thome Tee sizes are running low (The red men's shirt is already sold out!), so if you haven't ordered yet and still want one, don't delay. These t-shirts are being retired like the Pavstache shirt to make room for Shirt #3, coming soon. There aren't many Pavstache sizes left (in fact, the ladies Pavstache tees are all sold out too), and I have a feeling more of the Thome Tee sizes will be out before the weekend is over.

So head to Blorch! right now and get clickin'! Last call!

Hope that knot in Thome's back vanishes before we sell out another shirt size. Are masseuses allowed in dugouts?

Folks, the Thome Tees came in a day early. Huzzahs all around to the production crew that got these in and out the door! In fact, they were still WARM off the dryers when I got ahold of 'em this afternoon. I'm excited to get these babies shipped out pronto!

ALSO: they printed so well, I'm getting a bit misty-eyed.

$10 pre-sale price still going through tomorrow @ the Blorch! Shop! $12 after tomorrow. We've already sold more than expected, so I'll be re-stocking next week. Order while you still can!

And this is my first post since Tuesday, so... GOOOOO AL CENTRAL CHAMPS!

In Pavstache We Trust. One more update on the Pavstache T-Shirt!

First of all, thanks to each and every one of you who have purchased a shirt so far! While a majority of the shirts have shipped to customers within the state of Minnesota, we've had orders come in from all across the country! Pavano fans, coast to coast! Even an international order (no, not Canada, and not Jesse!). I heard a few readers have already worn them to games, so keep it up! And share your pics if you got 'em (like reader Taylen from San Francisco did right here!).

T-shirts are now regularly priced at $12 (both mens and womens versions alike). Part of the deal with these shirts is that they are strictly limited edition garments, so get one while you still can. No more Pavstache tees are being printed. I'm retiring the design in order to make room for the next Twinkie Town t-shirt (Jesse and I are finalizing the new shirt this week). So once a size is outta stock, you're outta luck. And believe me, the Pavstache tees are going FAST.

Also, thank you for your patience as I get this whole online shop thing figured out. It literally started out of nothing after Jesse brought up the idea of original Twinkie Town merchandise earlier this summer. Little did I know my own house would turn into a mini shipping warehouse! So bear with me as I work out the kinks. The Blorch! Shop started as an idea of mine several years back (Blorch! is the name of my small cartoon/production company, and I always intended on selling apparel at some point), so I gotta thank Twinkie Town for finally setting things in motion! As soon as more Twinkie Town goods show up in the coming months, Twinkie Town will get its own dedicated site via Blorch! And yes, while PayPal does the job, I hope to eventually get a better online merchant. Streamlining is my goal!

So to review:

• THANKS FOR ORDERING AND FOR SUPPORTING TWINKIE TOWN!
• ORDER A PAVSTACHE T-SHIRT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
• NEW SHIRT IS COMING SOON!
• Go Twins? GO TWINS!!!

In the words of Professor Farnsworth: "Good news, everyone!"

(this link to the Twinkie Town shop can be found anytime in the left column on the main page)

The first pre-sale batch of the Pavstache t-shirts are arriving hot off the platens today (Thursday) and will begin shipping tomorrow! We will keep printing new shirts as long as people are ordering them, so anyone who wants one will indeed get one.

Thanks to all of you who have pre-ordered! The response has been amazing, and I can't wait to get them out to you. Speaking of which, the pre-sale price of $10 will run through September 1st. That will go up to $12 on September 2nd, so take advantage of the pre-sale and save a few bucks!

And be on the lookout for more merch real soon!

It's a shameless shirt plug! A cartoonized preview! A TWINKIE TOWN EXCLUSIVE! Soon, you can brag like this guy. Show your support for beautifully-shorn stubble. "In Pavstache We Trust" t-shirts are hitting the virtual shelves THIS WEEK! Stay tuned as we announce the grand opening of the Blorch! Shop - the official online bazaar of Twinkie Town!

Later that night, outside the bar (where all the Minneapolis landmarks hang out)...
