I walked into a Lowes here in San Antonio, wearing the brown shirt with the trees. A Lowes attendant walked by, this young guy, and he exclaimed: "thats a cool band".
First time I've heard a remark.

I haven't met anyone who likes BoC in my town. I've introduced a friend to them, but he's extremely picky and only likes Beach at Redpoint. :?

I probably should get a piece of BoC clothing, wear it around and see if anyone knows.
I don't think anyone would, I live in an inland redneck Australian town. >_>

The closest thing I've had to someone liking the music I like is my Maths teacher last year liking Radiohead. We had good conversations about which album was better. <_<
And both my replacement Science (the one I'm supposed to have is on leave) and History teachers like Triple J, a national indie rock/alternative music station.

I can't remember who or what the circumstances were, but I know I've had someone mention BoC to me based on my t-shirt before, and I know I've had someone point and smile at it too.

Awesome!

I wore my brown BoC Tee at Latitude Festival last year and saw at least 5 people with the same. We all gave a knowing nod to each other! :D

The T-Shirts are sold via Warpmart. You can find the link on the official BOC website.

Actually, it's hard to believe I once got so excited by that message. Now, it's become the symbol of my fan boy disappointment each time I go visit, hoping to see something - ANYTHING - new. lol.

I also got a BoC hoodie on Ebay. It's a great sweater too.

Was wandering around Wimborne Jazz festival here in sunny Dorset this afternoon (imagine an English version of the Wicker Man - lots of Morris Dancers and Black-faced minstrels, maypoles, men with PROPER beards and the odd virgin burnt at the stake...possibly).

Found a tiny little backstreet guitar shop and wandered in to see if I could find any bargains. Was just about to leave when Into The Rainbow Vein started up on the store speakers. Looked around in surprise to see the guy behind the desk grinning at me.... realised I had my BOC T-Shirt on. So there IS somebody here that likes BOC! I actually felt guilty leaving..

They actually changed that message like this week. They changed the date from "Nov 2006" to "Now".

:o :o :o :o :o :o

There is something new for you.

Yeah, I saw. I was beginning to wonder if the website was even being maintained at all.

wow, a word in two years!...

but, thinking about it, this well might be a prelude to something...

I guess they were afraid people would think they were all out of shirts by now :)
