And just a reminder that there's still time for the perfect holiday gift: _Big Takeover_ magazine subscriptions and back issues!
And speaking of which, for more great holiday gifts, here's a reminder about our t-shirts, CDs, and our other fun stuff like Big Takeover beer cozies, magnets, buttons, signed posters, etc.--might be just the thing!
That's right, in time for the holiday: Big Takeover issues, subscriptions, back issues, t-shirts in three colors, black, white, and burgundy red in thirteen sizes (including our new children's sizes, 2T, 3T, 4T, and 6MO, 12MO, and 18MO baby onesies!!!!! The coolest X-mas gift ever for the kids!), and our accessories (BT beer cozies for only $5 and 12 X 18 color BT Anniversary Festival Posters for $4, which I will sign if you want me to!), as well as our related CDs (including the limited edition Springhouse CD album, From Now to OK), also make the perfect birthday and X-mas (or Hanukkah) gifts! Especially in this time when we are all trying to economize.
This means our t-shirts still come in three colors (black, white, and dark red) and are only $14 for adult men, $13 for women, and $10 for kids's shirts and baby onesies, even including postage!).
Also, all but two of our back issues are still available (if your friends like a specific band we've featured; and there's always the mega-deluxe gift, the complete set of all of our 77 issues to date, including the two that are out of print!--see the back issues page and you will see that offer.)
And we are also offering used, good-quality CD copies of the three out of print SPRINGHOUSE CDs from 1991-1993 as well as sealed, limited edition art-package copies of Springhouse's 2008 third LP _From Now to OK_ (see why it got an 86 in _Paste_!), as well as CDs by EVEN WORSE, LAST BURNING EMBERS, DOUG GILLARD, NON-LINEAR THINKERS and EDP!
