I think that would be a great project for a desert island -- I asked him to send me photos as soon as he's done.

I wouldn't use it just for T-shirt surgery either--it'd also be for painting, music, yoga, and writing poetry, and I'd have all the accoutrements for all of those activities in this room, to be wheeled into a storage closet whenever I didn't need them. The room would be decorated with my artwork and poetry, and I'd get my massive Ani Difranco poster framed, and use her as a focal point, because I refuse to ruin the poster by putting Scotch tape or sticky tack on the corners. As for the three things on a deserted island, I'd pick a huge box of T-shirts, my sewing kit (which includes needles, thread, scissors, safety pins, and chalk), and Megan, so she could tell me how to sew/weave/tie/whatever all of those T-shirts into a bridge to safety.......I couldn't do it by myself, because that's at least a level five project, right? Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, it seems like Christmas is starting WAY too early this year (the art-print store where I work has had Christmas stuff up since early August), and so, this whole DIY craze has gotten me thinking about Buy Nothing Day, which is sometime in November or early December. Who else here thinks Buy Nothing Day would be a good day for T-shirt surgery?
