Closing Bell: Tee Time at The Flea

Categories: Brooklyn Flea, Closing Bell

brownstoner-tee-031910.jpg
Thrown into the usual mix of antiques, vintage clothing and delish food at The Flea this weekend will be the recently-introduced but rarely available Brownstoner t-shirts. Two loyal readers whom you might recognize as Arkady and Snappy have volunteered to man the main information booth on Sunday from 12 to 4. They'll have a not-infinite stash of the new shirts on hand, so the early birds will get the worms. They're $15 a pop and we have all adult sizes as well as some 4's and 6's for the kid crowd. The Brooklyn Flea will be taking place every Saturday and Sunday through the end of March from 10 am to 5 pm at One Hanson Place. You can take any number of subways to the Atlantic Terminal or the C train to Lafayette.

EVERYBODY COME OUT AND GET A SHIRT!!!

----------

It’s about that time again folks! In late April, we Brownstoners will be partying the night away. (Details on the exact date, location and time will be released soon!) It’s our first annual “Blow Your Tax Refund On Booze!” event. Oh, wait…well, for those of you who didn’t get a refund and actually owed the IRS some dough, you should show up anyway and drown your sorrows in the adult beverage of your choice!

This is another CobbleSnaps production and is guaranteed to be good time :-) There will be a contest for “The Best Decorated Brownstoner T-Shirt.” You can pick one up at the Flea this Sunday between noon and 4pm for a mere $15. When you get yours, get creative and decorate the back of your shirt….put your login name on it, add some memorable quotes from Brownstoner.com, draw funny pictures relating to the website…whatever floats your boat! Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

We look forward to seeing all of you posters and lurkers for a night of fun!

(any accountants in the house? is boozing it up while networking a deductible activity? is buying the shirt deductible? ha!)

**THIS IS AN OFFICIAL COBBLESNAPS PRODUCTION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED AND ENFORCED BY CATS WITH SUPER SHARP CLAWS.**

Who's the model?

By InsertSnappyNameHere on March 19, 2010 4:09 PM

DH, that's me before my boob job and tanning session :-p

By dirty_hipster on March 19, 2010 4:11 PM

You've got a nice torso

By daveinbedstuy on March 19, 2010 4:12 PM

I see everyone's copying my turquoise living room color nowadays!!!

By jessibaby on March 19, 2010 4:13 PM

me like freckles.

By InsertSnappyNameHere on March 19, 2010 4:14 PM

Yeah, but DH, that's also before I discovered the wonders of beer :-)

By daveinbedstuy on March 19, 2010 4:19 PM

I'm in Philly this weekend. Who can pick one up for me??/ A shirt I mean. Is this the only color???

By jessibaby on March 19, 2010 4:21 PM

Dave, I hear they have one in yellow with a bird of paradise on the sleeve.

By InsertSnappyNameHere on March 19, 2010 4:23 PM

Dave, Cargar and Jester are the designated picker-uppers...get in contact with them.

By brownstoner on March 19, 2010 4:24 PM

Your humble webmaster is the model. No money in the marketing budget for someone better cut.

DIBS,
Scout out some tips for Brownstoner Philly for Gabby! We're less than three weeks from launch (gulp).

By daveinbedstuy on March 19, 2010 4:29 PM

Too bad I'm not in town or I could round up a few guys with six packs and big guns to model them for you!!! Not that you're not hot Mr. B.

By jessibaby on March 19, 2010 4:30 PM

Mr. B, did you photoshop your neck?

By infinitejester on March 19, 2010 4:33 PM

Yes, email me at hi.infinitejester at gmail with size.

By brownstoner on March 19, 2010 4:33 PM

Yes, our only six packs are in the fridge. Still, for the advanced age of 40...

By jessibaby on March 19, 2010 4:35 PM

Mr. B, six packs are for guidos. Looking good to me.

By BSD on March 19, 2010 4:36 PM

TendSkin(R) makes a product for razor bumps.

By dirty_hipster on March 19, 2010 4:40 PM

Forget shaving - Mr. B should rock a Zach Galifianakis beard

By CGar on March 19, 2010 4:40 PM

"Two loyal readers whom you might recognize as Arkady and Snappy"

Who the eff are they? Are they lurkers? I've never seen them post.

By CGar on March 19, 2010 4:42 PM

Yes, I'm picking up shirts for 4 PLUSAs so far, so if anyone wants to me to be there Personal Shopper on Sunday, please drop me a line with your shirt size. Apparently, they run small, so keep that in mind because apparently size DOES matter.

By daveinbedstuy on March 19, 2010 4:43 PM

CGar, can you pick me one up? Large?

By CGar on March 19, 2010 4:44 PM

Dave, I'm already getting a bunch of shirts for PLUSAs. What size do you want? . . . What size SHIRT do you want, Dave?!?!?

By BSD on March 19, 2010 4:45 PM

Mr. B, please post a full naked pic of yourself so we can give you a HOTD style scrutinization. Promise not to make any "Too small, poor condition, only and idiot would pay for that" comments.

By CGar on March 19, 2010 4:45 PM

Jinx, Dave! Yes, no problem, I'm on it. (No homo)

By daveinbedstuy on March 19, 2010 4:47 PM

" rarely available"

Sounds like you took this from any one of the HOTD listings.

By daveinbedstuy on March 19, 2010 4:49 PM

The house must be in Clinton Hill because of the fact that the parlour floor windows still have bars. We don't have such levels of crime in Bed Stuy anymore.

By tybur6 on March 19, 2010 4:51 PM

Mr. B, have you ever done porn?

By cobblehiller on March 19, 2010 4:55 PM

"CGar, can you pick me one up? Large?"

Large [no hetero] for me, too, please, CGar!!

By Biff Champion on March 19, 2010 4:55 PM

I think the "brownstoner.com" should have been more prominently displayed. Just saying.

By benson on March 19, 2010 4:56 PM

Mr. B;

I'm holding out for the version with a rendering of a Fedders on it.

By cobblehiller on March 19, 2010 5:01 PM

"I think the "brownstoner.com" should have been more prominently displayed. Just saying."

When you decorate your t-shirt for the event, you can do that yourself! [I agree, name's too damn small.]

By blowfish on March 19, 2010 5:22 PM

omg benson, i would totally buy a t-shirt with a pen sketch of a Fedders' Special. Make it happen.

By CGar on March 19, 2010 5:34 PM

You're ALREADY one of the losers I'm buying a T-shirt for Cobble!!

By CGar on March 19, 2010 5:36 PM

Mr. B!! I agree with Biff and Cobble. "Brownstoner.com" should be much bigger. (Size DOES matter, y'know.) How about bigger lettering for Brownstoner T-shirt Version 2.0??

By cobblehiller on March 19, 2010 6:27 PM

"You're ALREADY one of the losers I'm buying a T-shirt for Cobble!!"

Just making sure!!! LOL!

By etson on March 19, 2010 8:06 PM

"How about bigger lettering for Brownstoner T-shirt Version 2.0??"

And put 'Brown' on the front and 'Stoner' on the back.
Should go down well with some of the regular posters.

By Petebklyn on March 19, 2010 10:14 PM

awfully skinny brownstoner.
and only 3 stories.
Widget says $10.50

By mopar on March 19, 2010 10:45 PM

Very attractive in all dimensions.

By brownstoner on March 20, 2010 7:36 AM

Okay, v.2 will have a more prominent display of the name. We'd assumed most people would prefer the understated approach.

By Kensingtonian on March 20, 2010 2:10 PM

If I am going to be a label whore, I might as well be a Brownstoner label whore :o)

By CGar on March 21, 2010 10:28 AM

"Still, for the advanced age of 40..."

Mr. B, 40 is NOT advanced!!!

By InsertSnappyNameHere on March 21, 2010 6:39 PM

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT AND BOUGHT A T-SHIRT OR HAD SOMEONE PICK UP A T-SHIRT FOR YOU!!!
