We’re really happy with both designs, and the shirts themselves are a great hemp and cotton blend that just seemed like a more environmentally-friendly choice compared to typical materials.

So, take a look, and if you like them you best hurry to the store! We only have a small number left, and with the amount of things we have happening around here, we’re probably not going to be placing another order for new ones anytime soon.

Otherwise, we’re still working on issue six. I know it’s taking forever, but we have our reasons, and we hope you’ll forgive us once we finally finish it.

T.O.F.U. Store: Shirts

For now, I just wanted to put out the notice that we are looking for a few models to help us sell what is left of the 2011 tour shirts. Sure, we could simply go with the info and pics that are posted through the online store, but where’s the fun in that? Plus, the actual shirts have different colours and we don’t want people to buy something they have not seen!

Instead, we’re hoping that a few kind souls who bought the shirts along the way, or those who may currently be sharing the same city as me (Vancouver) might be interested in helping to promote the new designs. All it takes is a couple pictures with you in the shirt, and we can do the rest!

So, please drop me a line if you’re willing to help us out. If you’re in Vancouver, perhaps we can grab a slice of pizza at Vegan Pizza House?

We need to start packing, and that means paring down to the bare necessities (still hoping a food processor will fit in the overhead compartment). While we haven’t really started the hard work of cleaning, organizing and packing, we’re sure that the shirts from the last tour have to find owners. With just a few left, we’re hoping we don’t have to leave our mixing bowls behind to make room for these lonely peppers.

Of course, we know appealing to your emotions for inanimate objects is probably not going to flood our inbox with orders, so we’re willing to make you an offer you can’t refuse (hopefully):

Our old tshirt stock is now $5 (plus shipping).

That’s right, our sweatshop free, fairly traded shirts (justshirts.ca), which were screenprinted by a one-man operation in Halifax, are now available for well below what we paid to make them! If that piques your interest, you can check out the selection in our online store. If you’re still not biting, then we’re out of ideas, and you don’t get a shirt. Sorry.

Purchase a shirt for $5 (plus shipping).

Team T.O.F.U.

Perhaps you’ve been sitting staring at the cute little robot at the end of the new issue of T.O.F.U. (you have it, right?), and now you feel there is a void in your life while you wait for the next one.

Well, you’re all in luck! Hell, even if you don’t fall into one of the above categories you might just be happy to hear about yet another boxing day sale.

Yup, hop on over to the store, which is conveniently located here, and use this lovely little discount code (tofubot) to get $5 off any purchase over $15. So, if you have yet to grab one of the remaining T.O.F.U. tour shirts, now is your chance.

That way you can have something to make a stand against the friend with the “Bacon is a vegetable” shirt in the new year.

All items are fairly-traded and sweatshop free without the overly-sexualized ad campaigns to sell them.

Expect pictures of the merch this weekend… if the weather clears up.

Well, that’s just what I’m doing. Shirts and hoodies, in a very limited amount, should be ready at the end of today. In case that’s not enough, there will be buttons as well! Yup, if you’re going to do something, you might as well do it way past a reasonable limit just to see how far you can go. Expect pictures later this week of all the glorious things.

Oh yeah, we confirmed a few new dates and more are to come. Not much longer now…
