T-Shirt Time - Friday Twofer

In an attempt to make up for my lack of postage yesterday, I present to you all not one, but two epic T-shirts worn by some pretty rad New Yorkers. 




Our first shirt comes from Jake, a 20-something dude with a love for Scott Pilgrim. If you're unfamiliar with the comic series or the movie (starring Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and featuring some epic cameos by Chris Evans and Anna Kendrick), the lead character spends the entire story fighting the Seven Evil Ex Boyfriends of is soon to be lady love, Ramona. While his wardrobe choices aren't an essential part of the plot, comic scribe Bryan Lee O'Malley made sure to give Scott a unique collection of super-awesome T-shirts. The shirt pictured above was worn by Scott in his fight against Evil Ex-Boyfriend #3, played by Brandon Routh of Superman Return fame. Our friend Jake is bought the shirt online, and you can check out the entire gallery of tees here.




Our second shirt was sported by the lovely Ellessia (God I hope I spelled that correctly) on her way in to work earlier this morning. I'm sure the logo is recognizable enough to even the most uneducated of nerds, and this Wonder Woman says that she has an entire collection of shirts inspired by Diana of Themyscria in her wardrobe (one of which even has an attachable cape to go along with it). She found this shirt at a novelty T-shirt shop around Time Square, but I'm sure variations of this top can be found at any mall store such as Spencers or Hot Topic. 


Happy hunting for these two awesome tees! And check back later today for our regularly scheduled programming.

T-Shirt Time - The Avengers

Have you ever noticed somebody wearing a Superman t-shirt, and then for the next 24 hours you notice every other person wearing the same logo out in public? Well, that's what my life is like on a daily basis. Since my mind is constantly racing about comic books and superheroes, I always tend to notice the nerdier side of things that would often times pass people by. 






On my walk home from work last week along 8th Ave, I passed by an older gentleman wearing a pretty fantastic Avengers shirt. When I stopped him to take a picture he seemed more than happy to oblige. Although I didn't catch the man's name (he seemed a little sketched out when I told him I had a blog, as if he thought I just go around taking pictures of random strangers for fun) but he did tell me this shirt was given to him as a gift. From where? No idea, but if anybody out there knows, please let me know. I wouldn't mind adding this to my collection of geektastic clothing options.


If you have your own nerdy shirts you want to send my way and have featured on The Weekly G33k, be sure to send them my way. Also be sure to include any other information you feel willing to share (name, hometown, where you bought the shirt, if you're single or not.... too far?)
