I haven't really gotten a chance to blog/talk about Las Vegas. Crooked Monkey Funny t-shirts took quite a large booth this time at the tradeshow out there. It was twice the size of last year's booth, and it really helped increase our Wholesale Funny t-shirt customer base. We got it into a slew of new stores and introduced our fall line. We've got a great picture of Ben wearing our I recyle boys t-shirt.

If you'll notice in that picture my tri's look pretty big. Well there's two way to grow those babies. You can either spend time in the gym or wear smaller shirts. I've chosen the latter.

Back to the topic at hand. Tipping in Las Vegas. It's such a ridiculous "custom" in Las Vegas. Every single person in the entire city expects hand outs. My brother and I played a little game where we tallied up all the tips that we were expected to give in a day. I also had a pocket in my wallet that was dedicated to tips--I figured I needed about $50 in singles a day to satiate the Las Vegas obssession with tipping. At the end of my trip I was giving bills to anyone walking within a five foot radius--lest I upset someone for not being forthcoming in offering tips.

Next year, instead of handing out tips, I'm going to hand out our "I do it for the tips" t-shirt. Maybe that'll cheer them up.

We've got a tradeshow in NYC this week. Actually I'm at it right now. We're showing our new line of Hoodies, Thermals and Pants. Pretty amazing that we've expanded into the realm of pants and hoodies. To think how far we've come in the world of funny t-shirts.

The reception has been well received and we'll be posting the Fall samples for everyone to see somewhat soon. We picked up a bunch of new stores, so look out for Crooked Monkey Funny t-shirts at a retailer near you.

Instead of putting up pictures of me and and the Donald getting bottle service at some trendy lounges in the Lower East Side, I decided to put picutres of me and former-Governor Spitzer riding around town looking for prostitutes--because even though I'm not a governor I still like the hoes.

Well actually I forgot my camera on that ride, so I'll just post some pictures of the new samples of our funny t-shirts, funny hoodies, and funny pants.
