Electric Zombie!!




I ordered my Electric Zombie t-shirt last week sometime, and it arrived today! What a great brand, and the genius behind this Zombie Madness! is Kyle Crawford. If you are not familiar with "Electric Zombie", by all means please check his brand/art out! Its nothing short of fantastic.

From a customers perspective, I was nothing but pleased with my package I received today, not only did I receive my t-shirt but a fantastic custom shipping box. Now I'm not 100% sure, but I don't know of many brands that have custom shipping boxes like this....



Yes! That is in fact a coffin shaped box! Fits with Kyle's theme amazingly! It really shows that there are still people within this industry that put a lot of thought and time/consideration into what they are producing for you and I (as customers). Like I said before, if you have in fact not checked out Electric Zombie please do, www.theelectriczombie.com .

Taxes

SO I just got my W-2 tax form today, and I'm pretty excited. I worked at blockbuster last year for only a short amount of time. Maybe 5 months at the most, but I found out I'll be getting back a good amount of change! It's always exciting to find out something that you did not expect to happen. For example. Have you ever put on a pair of pants or shorts that you have not worn in, lets say, two or three months and you find money in the pocket! Score!! That actually just recently happened to me the other day. I put my jeans on, and Bam! I was $20 richer than before. Fun times.

Wow!

Since we have created this new blog, I have gotten a huge response from it! I've only posted a few entry's and have had an overwhelming amount of views! Thank you everyone that has taken interest in our brand, and thank you everyone that is working hard to get this brand off its feet again!

Great Newer Movies





A few days ago, I stopped by the local video shop, and picked up these two excellent films, I highly recommend either at least seeing both of these, or at least renting one! They are both great watches. To be quite honest, I didn't think De Niro, nor Pacino could pull off a great action packed film, but they both proved me wrong in Righteous Kill. I also bought an older movie, Red Dawn, but I have not had time to watch it yet. If you guys have any great movies you think I should watch, send me an email to bcwmgmt(at)gmail.com Thanks!

Hangin around the house!





Today me and the misses relaxed, I really didn't have to much to do, considering I am just waiting on some samples from our printer. We mostly just hung out, played video games, took pictures, and watched our favorite movies!

If you do not know, Jen helps out quite a bit around the Offbeat office. She is the nice young lady who packages all of your Offbeat gifts, and writes out all the addresses to ship to your house!

Besides hanging out with my girlfriend, I also was informed of some awesome news concerning our re-launch! All I have to say is be prepared to be surprised. Like I said Offbeat is coming back bigger and better than ever! We don't have an exact date when the store will re-open, but we do plan on a mid March, early April opening.

Keep checking back for future posts, and more updates! Thanks everyone :)

New Year, New Offbeat

As you can see, we are currently revamping everything you ever thought "Offbeat" was. In the following year, you'll be experiencing a whole new shopping experience, new products, even more limited t-shirts and other fun secrets myself, Ben, and Jake have in the works.

Being that said, some of you may have heard rumors of Offbeat having a new owner? Well this is partially true, I myself have asked a great friend of mine, Jake Scott, to join the Offbeat team. Some of you may know him from his Death Metal/Hardcore band "Salt The Wound" (www.myspace.com/saltthewound). Jake is an all around great guy, and a great business partner, and we feel as if he will be a great asset to our brand, and company.

We hope all of you are as excited as we are to be announcing new products and a new shopping experience for everyone. Thank you for your continued support and friendship. Keep on the lookout within the next months for new products!
