this is basically my suicide run for the money. I suck, I procrastinated insanely. I only have a little bit of time so if I dont hit the goal I will fork all the money over to be spread out to team Midnight Ridazz ALC.
but for all those who have wanted a Midnight Ridazz shirt now is your chance to help benefit Aids research and to get ya shirt on!

Make sure you stop by the shop "JAKE" next door. The best vintage Pendletons and 50's style clothing in Southern California by far. Seriously, a very cool shop.

I'd love to buyt some shirts anyway, but wouldn't more money go to your/the fund if straight cash is given after all it costs to buy the shirts??? I have so many riders on MR ALC plus some other homies who need cash but I'm not a cow LOL???

Hey Marcus I moved the date to Sunday May4rth. Is that still a Los Angelopes ride day?
YES you should be able to print on messenger bags and other flat cloth objects. As long as it fits under the screen.
SKULL is lending her classic MR logo design so yes there will be Midnight Ridazz shirts being made.
Bicikillers, send me your design.

WOW. Thanks EVERYONE for making this FUNdraiser a success! I went home and crashed the fuck out which explains why I am up at 6 in the morning...
THANK YOU goes out to Mr. Rollers, Sean Bonner, my girl Eva, Fresh Pressed and Jonathan who were so kind as to help host this event. Each of these people were essential to making the operation happen. after expenses We raised over $1000 in 4 hours. wow wow. All of the proceeds go to my ALC fund.
THANK YOU everyone who ordered shirts and patches. Your generous donations go to a good cause.
I especially owe big thanks to ALEC SCHWARZ, BICIKILLER LEE, WILL CAMPBELL, FUZZBEAST, HARTWICK and SPOOK for being so kind as to donate their artwork that people seemed to absolutely LOVE. I know I do I'm getting my shirts made today.
TO ANYONE WHO'S ORDER WAS NOT PICKED UP.
HIT ME UP ON THE EMAIL: roadblock #### AT $$$$ midnightridazz dot calm.
I still need to raise some more funds and I know that not everyone was able to make it out yesterday, so I'm working on a way for people to drop off their shirts at Fresh Pressed and continue to order prints this week.
I'm also working on a way to have the messenger bags be printed, sorry to those that got turned away, the flash dryer broke and the only other option was the belt dryer which wouldnt accept bulky objects.
THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE

ROADBLOCK,
Maybe you can set up a screen with water-based ink for printing on bags. It dries in minutes and curing can be done off-site by iron or heat gun.
Girlfriend and I are stoked about our prints!
