CXXVI Spring 2010 and Giveaway
CXXVI just released their brand new Spring 2010 line, and if there was any doubt that Matt Gorton and Jon Contino were on their way to major success with their new endeavor, the inevitability is now obvious.
They’ve expanded their already stellar lineup of vintage-American/nautical-industrial inspired design to feature a plethora of solid, simple but eye-catching graphics hand screen printed on tshirts as well as a range of other products such as duffel bags, beanies and iPhone sleeves.
I’m thoroughly impressed with the new line, and everyone I’ve shown it to has immediately expressed interest in purchasing the entire collection. CXXVI’s style and attention to detail promises to yield continuing success and a zealous following by anyone who encounters it. You can go check out the whole Spring line on the CXXVI website.
As an added bonus: Matt and Jon were generous enough to hook us up with a few shirts and a beanie to give away.
Here’s how to win some great stuff:
Write a haiku about a fishing trip. It can be a serious story about how your friend was eaten by a jaguar shark, or a hilarious anecdote about the one that got away. It doesn’t matter what it’s about, it doesn’t even have to be true, it just has to follow the standard 5/7/5 format. I’ll be picking the winners based on how creative the haikus are. Also, don’t forget to include your shirt size in your comment and your email address in the field provided.
I’ll pick the winners on Monday February 1st.
Happy haiku-ing!

A hole in my boat,
iPhone will get wet and die,
A hole in my heart.
fumbling with the bait,
the line is cast awkwardly…
blue collar poser.
Ice cold bottoms up,
Gonna catch the big fillet,
Drop anchors all day.

Airbreathing catfish,
they eat worms off of my line,
next a man shall eat.
(I don’t really fish but this was the first name of a fish with 5 syllables on Wikipedia’s “List of fish common names”)

Time is languid in repose,
Stillness of being.

Fish from a hole in the floor
while drinking in bed.
Lone at water’s edge,
After goodbyes have been said..
She can be replaced.

Stabbed through the flesh,
squirming body, bloody drip.
Hard yank, finger free.
