Or a T for a band they’ve toured with or that I know they’re friends with. This goes over big at the merch table :)
I realize this isn’t the advice you’re looking for lol, but if I can reach just one person it’ll be worth it!

I’m a merchandise designer for bands and my small dream is to see someone I don’t know wearing something I designed, even better if it’s not at that band’s concert. Not sure whether I would say anything to them about it or just keep it to myself

This is not a post saying you shouldn’t buy band merch. Not at all! This is a big support for bands.
This is more a rec for giving a new life to old or new shirts. With some fabric paint (you can get pens also) you can get really creative. This one I’ve done for the album Bright Flight from Silver Jews (Tennessee lyrics on the back).
One artist I inspire myself a lot is Katie from @sandw1tchshop (instagram)

as creative who normally remains in the digital realm, making a shirt is not only a special little project for you to work on based off a band or singer you know, but it’s also a great keepsake in the off chance their actual merch stand is a blood bath! and you get to look super cool! and wear your art!
plus you can do things like put your own boobs on a shirt! made this based off of the song sinner by the last dinner party (seeing them in toronto at the end of the month hehe)

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
