Thanks for all the recent orders!

May 6th, 2014

Hey all. It must be t-shirt season; we’ve picked up a ton of orders lately. Turn-around time is still about two days. We’ll post if it’s taking longer than that, but so far, so good. (A lot depends on how fast I can get to the post office.) If you have any questions, Twitter is the best way to get a hold of us: @flyover_state. Thanks again for your interest in Flyover State.

It’s the Internet’s only — and most timely! — SXSW recap. Hell, even Coachella’s already happened. But, wanted to get this out there with more pictures.

This was Team Flyover State’s fifth SXSW and the first since 2005. (An aside: I could really use name for writing stuff like this, something like Bobby Hundreds. But “Erik Flyover” just sounds terrible. Whatever.) And recession be damned, it seemed busier than ever.
