Watching your kid turn an idea into reality is pretty incredible.

Our son came up with the idea for a t-shirt line featuring the coordinates of iconic destinations, and we couldn’t be more proud of his creativity, initiative, and drive to learn how business really works. From choosing the locations to picking the colors and designs, he’s been hands-on every step of the way.

And honestly… the shirts turned out really cool.

The last time Todd saw it was circa 1982 at the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds. This time there were a few more fans in the audience. Thank you for the opportunity to hear King George again!

Every year I have the honor of making a new topper for the neon I created a dozen or so years ago. I had so much fun with this year’s choice. Aaand it the first year I get to bring my ‘June’ to the show. She had to work today, installing the neon. But tomorrow is just for fun.
