This site first launched in January 2008, going live with a very primitive design coded directly in Windows Notepad. I decided recently to have some custom coffee mugs made in recognition of this fact – after the Live at Lost Art Open Mic LP, why shouldn't I continue to treat myself? The design, simple as it is, recalls this website's original 2008 look, with its original logo and tagline.
The mugs were ordered through VistaPrint, the same company I've used for my business cards. While the print quality has been just fine for both types of media, I'm still interested in finding a local outfit I can work with directly for advertising and merchandise. If anyone reading this has a suggestion, and actual experience working with said outfit, please reach out to me and let me know.
