Every Shirt XX: Candy Striper Death Orgy

shirt: CSDO - got thrash?
size: XL (US)
vintage: 2007
provenance: band

I picked this shirt up from the band, if I recall correctly, at some Mark's show in the middle of 2007. CSDO and Mark's Showplace go together like fries and mayo; internally, basically solid, but rejected out of hand due to external weirdness, whether the venue's commitment to ripping off local bands or Eric's rather decided idiosyncracies (for example, he's still, probably, the only guy in the world to advocate for Mitt Romney while wearing shorts with flames on them). Regardless, CSDO, taken at face value, is a decent thrash metal band, and this is a solid, worthy shirt. The band's logo is on the back, so if you have a kutte or vest like I do, you can get the witty slogan without necessarily associating yourself with candy canes crossed under a gasmask...unless, of course, you out yourself in this regard on the internet.


Metalfest is under way, but I have little interest in many of today's bands, so one or both of the still pending commentaries will likely be out today.
