Free publicity from 65-year-old father of staffer’s girlfriend in exchange for showing said senior just how cool he looks in women’s XL Brokelyn t-shirt.
I got two free Brokelyn t shirts, two Jeremiah Weed drinks from the Bell House and a copy of “Artists’s Guide” by Jackie Battenfield. Wow, I am crazy behind on hooking up free schwag from this gig. Will except gifts of cheap beer and shots from any willing contributor. Seriously folks – I’ll even fly to Dubai to claim them.
haaaaaa
Tim, thank you for your honesty, however I don’t think the tshirts count because they were given to you by Brokelyn.
