Ok, good story.

So! When we were at the TSHIRT FACTORY last week, we looked over our stock of t-shirts and realized how poorly one of our shirts was selling. It was wonderfully intended, but Ricky's shirt, "Bitchin' Summer" (a reference to the popular teen drama, The O.C.) had only sold 19 out of a few hundred over the period of 3 months. With pursuits of hilarity in mind, we pulled all the shirts from our warehouse and discontinued selling the shirt online. Josh and Ricky then packaged the shirts neatly into LARGE shopping bags and drove them over to a local mall. They carried the bags inside and cooly walked into OUR FAV store, Abercrombie. Casually, they plodded around the store before finding their way to the HILARIOUS TSHIRTS table. Within moments, they had cleared space on the table by moving the shirts that were already there, and replacing the space with dozens of our duds! Trying hard to keep a straight face, Josh and Ricky high-fived and walked out of the store. In the picture above (taken by Ricky's cameraphone), you will notice our light-blue shirts in the top left, and bottom right.

Aces, boys ... Aces!

Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old.

I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook.

I live in Brooklyn now.
