I was trying to picture the event. Sure I saw the pictures that were posted. But they probably didnt capture the sights and sounds. The yellow plastic tape was gone, only the chalk outlines of the trampled Shag collectors bodies remained. I cautiously walked into the Disneyana shop. Inside there was a large crowd of 5 (2 clerks and 3 others-actually they were D-land custodians, I guess on a break). Out of the corner of my eye there they were. How could it be? About a dozen Shag Aloha shirts remained hanging silently from the rack. I liked the color and design and the price was ok. I didnt even have to throw any elbows or arm wrestle any fellow TC'ers. So I got One. Anyway, the shirt is hanging in my closet now. Its staring at me. Calling to me with it's Shag tag hanging seductively. The Shag signature and LE# 235/500 are like a beacon. I dont want to shock any Shag Collectors but I'm thinking about wearing it. I mean its just a shirt, right. What do you do with a shirt? That's right. I'm going to WEAR IT! Dont try to Stop me! Stand back! There its off the hanger...unbuttoning it...and putting it on. Ahhhh! The tag...what should I do with the tag? keep it attached ala Minnie Pearl and her hat? sell it on ebay? Hmmm. the shirt is alittle big. I better go wash it in hot water and then dry it. That should shrink it down abit. I can go mix a mai-tai and put on some Denny. Dont try to stop me! P.S. think I'll write a couple of notes to somebody with these Shag Note cards. Aloha! :drink:
