So by now, everyone should be aware that I am getting patches stitched up with the new “walls of the city” logo (as conceptualized by Oleg Volk) on them, but they are going to be the traditional fabric patches that have been around since… forever. Not being folks satisfied with the status quo, however, the boys at Monderno went the high-speed-low-drag route, but in an awesome way: Yup, that is a patch, with [...]
This post will be sticky until the fundraiser concludes. Please scroll down for new posts. Current Total Donation Amount: (0700 01APR13) $2190 The Rules: The rules are a little different than last year’s exercise, so pay attention. How to Earn a Ticket: 1. Every five dollars you donate directly to Honored American Veterans Afield nets you one numbered ticket. 2. DO NOT SEND ME MONEY. All money and goods should go directly to HAVA. 3. [...]
If you want a “walls of the city” patch, let me know before close of business tomorrow! The order is going in sometime tomorrow afternoon, and, as I said, I have no real plans of doing another run, and I will not be procuring that many spares. If you want one, speak up, or forever hold your peace. (And, by speaking up, I mean “leave a comment on this post or the one I [...]
Regular readers will know that I have been hinting at a fundraiser for Honored American Veterans Afield next month, and plans are currently in the works to make that happen. However, experience and observation has shown that combining a giveaway with the fundraiser tends to work out better for the organization I am fundraising for, so I am working on that as well. Thus far I have some patches (both E. TN MHI and [...]
So here are the numbers I have from folks thus far (The patch will look like the below image, just with a black merrowed edge.): AuricTech: 10 Bryan Strawser: 2 cigar_ben: 2 Dan: 2 David Phillips: 2 Dwight Brown: 1 Erradin: 2 Geodkyt: 4 Instict: 2 John Barlow: 1 John from MI: 1 Jordan: 2 JPO: 2 JTwig: 1 Lazy eye: 2 LC Scotty: 1 Lee: 2 Lynn H: 2 MajMike: 3 Mark [...]
By my count, including my 10 (which is a variable number), we are up to 53 patches ordered (at least as of this posting). This means that all patches will cost $6 each; if we can make it to 100 ordered, that will go down to $5 each. Given the price drop, if you want to increase your order, leave a comment here or at the previous post. Likewise, once we get closer, [...]
Who wants patches of the new "walls of the city" logo, as imagined by Oleg Volk and executed by me? The end patch would be about 3" wide and about 3.9" tall, black merrowed border, with some portion of it being the twill fabric of the actual patch (probably the blue field, if I had to make a wild-assed guess), and with the hook side of velcro on their backs (I now understand [...]
As previously mentioned, I will unfortunately not be attending SHOT Show this year… however, as a recent anonymous coward reminded me, one of my Eastern Tennessee Monster Hunter International patches is still up for grabs for those lucky folks who are going. What do you have to do to earn this patch? Simple: To all you lucky bastards going to SHOT Show this year, take heed! I have a few Eastern TN Monster Hunter [...]
Dragon Leatherworks makes some classy sporrans – I do not think anyone can dispute that – but this, ladies and gentlepeople, is a proper tactical sporran: That is a Maxpedition Mil-Spec Monkey Admin Pouch with some very appropriate patches on it. In fact, the only patches it is missing are one I have not made yet, and one I have not earned yet. Gotta love the storage capabilities of modern “tactical” kilts… [...]
Regular readers will know that Better Half and I are gearing up for attending an Appleseed shoot in the somewhat near future, and one of the interesting challenges put to me by my wife was to build or buy the lightest .22 rifle I could find; after all, a person’s energies should be focused on making the shot, not fighting the rifle. After talking about the various pros and cons of each platforms, we decided [...]
By now, you are probably well aware of the difficulties Paul Helinski, the president (?) of GunsAmerica and current sufferer of faragosis, is having comprehending how the internet works. Well, just over two days ago, I issued the following challenge to my readers: To all you lucky bastards going to SHOT Show this year, take heed! I have a few Eastern TN Monster Hunter International patches left, and I will send one patch, [...]
Paul Helinski, president of GunsAmerica, simply does not understand the Internet or how it works. This profound ignorance is rather surprising in this day and age, especially since he claims to have been using the “network of tubes” for the past 15 years or so, but being the gracious and generous person I am, I took it upon myself to try to correct this oversight yesterday. Apparently, I was too late: Alas, I [...]
This post will be sticky until the fundraiser concludes. Please scroll down for new posts. [1900 10JAN12 Update: Changes/updates to this page since 2100 03JAN12 have been italicized.] I knew announcing the Soldiers’ Angels Fundraiser and Giveaway the week before Thanksgiving was kind of a bad idea, but I wanted to get it out there and get the ball rolling, and now we are going to go back, go over the details, and pimp [...]
Hopefully you have already decided where your Thanksgiving dinner is going to be held, and you are working on the setting for your Christmas festivities, but not all of us have the ability to make such plans for the impending holidays. Having had the distinct… "privilege"… of being away from home for a back-to-back Thanksgiving and Christmas, I can personally attest to just how much it sucks to miss out on those festive occasions by [...]
Look what the nice FedEx delivery person left for me today (minus a crazy cross-country expedition): Want one? Drop me an email at “linoge (at) wallsofthecity (dot) net” or leave a comment here with an email address I can reach you at. [...]
I have to admit, it is kind of cool to see an idea come to fruition. As a reminder, go here and vote for the above patch by leaving a comment including either the words “Eastern Tennessee Monster Hunters” or “In God we trust, all others we nuke”; if you do, and you are interested, we will work out how to hook you up with an example or two of the above awesomeness*. [...]
Yup, I went and submitted it again. Go forth and make your votes here (though I am fair certain the winner is already a given) – the patch that emerges victorious gets included in Larry Correia’s next Monster Hunter International book. If it will help your decision process any, I should have a few of these in the coming few weeks/months: Just sayin’. [...]  |
