Thanks for the mention in your blog. We're glad to see that the community is taking a strong interest in supporting the artists and/or businesses in the effort to raise awareness about how badly the oil spill is affecting our coast. Our 'Built to Spill' tshirt is a step away from our typically humorous one-liners as we definitely feel it was necessary to take a more serious approach in this situation. After receiving tons of suggestions of orgs to donate the money to- the Humane Society of Louisiana has graciously accepted our offer to support their organization. <i>Drill baby drill; spill baby spill.<i> Hi there!

Interesting to see the chronological play-by-play. It is quite amazing that so many local artists/businesses are jumping on this bandwagon. The difference we can make! I was blown away by how quickly our "Rescue Me" shirts have sold. Audubon was very particular and we went through several ideas and revisions, right down to the amount of oil splatter. (They made me reduce the amount of splatter in one revision). In the end, the shirt did exactly what was intended, it made people want to help and do good. It made people feel a part of the rescue effort just by buying a t-shirt. I'll let you know our final tally. We've sold 1300 shirts up to this point, which is $3k over our initial goal. Truly blown away. Thanks for including us in your post. I hope it inspires others to get involved too. You never know just what you can do until you just do it. Great post!
