They’re selling Vespa shirts in Bangkok with my name on it. WHAAAAT?!!!

February 11, 2011

Last week, the boys from the club hosted dinner for James,  a riding buddy from the recently formed Vespa Club – Cebu Chapter (CeVo).  James was telling me that Havey, a fellow CeVo member, saw this Vespa shirt made in Bangkok, Thailand being sold in a mall in Cebu. He told me that the shirt has a quote and bears my signature.  Yeah, it’s one of those WTF stories. The crazy-happy kind!  :D

I honestly didn’t know what to make of it. But soon as I got home, I sent Harvey a private message asking him to buy me a couple of shirts and to please take a photo.  Days pass and I realized I haven’t told my wife this unbelievable story.  As soon I am done, she asked me to tell her the entire story again just to be sure she heard me right the first time.  I take that she find it hard to believe as well.  But the news got her really excited!  She urged me to follow it up with Harvey and she even added him in facebook despite not having known or met him before.  She told me there are so many questions she wanted to ask herself. LOL!

This morning, Harvs posted these snapshots on my wall.

The design is based on a previous Art Vespa – Imagine Vespa post I made back in 2006.

Honestly, I surprised that someone would actually make and sell shirts with my design (and NAME!) on it.  But I don’t mind it at all.  My name’s there so as far as I’m concerned, credit was given where credit was due (apologies to John Lennon).  I actually hope they made and sold a lot of these shirts.  What’s cooler is that the shirt made it’s way to the Philippines!

When Harvey got back to the shop selling the shirt, he got me the last piece.  I call that destiny. :)
