Watch the Printing of the “Aw, Muffin” Shirts
June 17th, 2010

Posted by Tim

Ever wondered what goes into the printing of a LoadingReadyRun t-shirt? Well, so did we! So we asked Shenanigans Screen-Printing, the local business that prints our shirts, if we could stop in during the printing of the “Aw, Muffin” shirts and take a look.

Naturally, we filmed it, just for you. Enjoy!

The preordered Muffin shirts have all been shipped, and the rest of the ones we had printed will be available in the Store very soon!

Big thanks to Chris and Shenanigans for being so accommodating and for producing such fine products.

Operation: Speak ‘n’ Sell
May 28th, 2010

The next Runners Operation is upon us!

Anyone who’s been watching Inside the Moon knows what this is all about, but if you haven’t been watching my weekly live show (Fridays at 1 PM PST!), here’s the gist:

In Operation: Speak ‘n’ Sell, your task is to write and perform a voiceover for LRR’s latest t-shirt commercial (which you can view below). The commercial is advertising LRR’s sale on Desert Bus, WiiPlay, and How to Talk Like a Pirate shirts, which are now only $12 each!

Record your voiceover as a standalone audio file and send it, or a link to a hosted version of it, to [email protected] by Friday, June 11, 2010 for your chance to win the grand prize, which is one of the shirts you’re helping to advertise, with shipping included!

Special thanks go to Danzama, Brett Hospital, Vigafre, James Burton, and Graham Gier, who were willing to take pictures of themselves looking ridiculous for inclusion in the commercial. We salute you for putting yourselves out there!

If you’d like to discuss this operation or have questions regarding technical details, hit up this forum thread.

T-Shirt Preorder: Awww Muffin
April 23rd, 2010

As far as we’re aware, ‘Aww Muffin’ didn’t start as an LRR thing, though it has been attributed as such. I think, however, that we can all agree that it has never been represented in such a poignant and heart-wrenching fashion. This muffin is lonely and only you can comfort it by wearing it close to your heart. It might prefer to be close to your stomach, but I’m sure it will appreciate the gesture. Preorder it and you’ll also get the associated button, which I frankly think is the best one we’ve done.

While you’re pre-ordering your Muffin shirt, note that our Desert Bus, Pirate, and Wii Play, are currently on sale for $12. At that price, it’s worth it to buy another, even if you already have one!

If you’re unfamiliar with how our pre-orders work, here’s an explanation:

Finally, Tim has asked me to remind everyone about the current Runners Operation. He’s looking for more submissions. You should supply them.

Cheers!

Live Shows, Shirts, and DVDs! OH MY!
March 4th, 2010

Oh my indeed.

First, and most importantly for any local LRR fans, LoadingReadyRun will be performing a 30-40 minute live set at the upcoming Phillips Comedy Night.

If you missed our live show back in 2005, this is the next best thing. We even have a special guest performer you absolutely won’t want to miss. The show is Sunday, Mar 14th at the Victoria Event Centre. Doors are at 8PM, and tickets are $10, ($8 if you’re a student). Details, such as the address, other performers and so on can be found here. Book the night off, bring your friends, and come join us for some laughs and a few drinks.

(The 14th also has the notable distinction of being my birthday, so if you don’t come wish me a happy birthday, I will be very disappointed.)

Secondly, you’ll be pleased to hear that we had an astonishing 102 pre-orders for the Slacking Team Shirt. Orders are now closed, but these shirts are definitely getting a run. Thanks for your interest! We’ll be printing these shirts soon, and I’ll update you when we ship them out.

On that same note, the last of our Science shirt pre-orders should have shipped out today, so if you haven’t received yours yet, fear not it will arrive soon. If you didn’t order a science shirt, but would like to purchase one (or it’s corresponding button), we’ll be adding the remaining stock to our store in the next couple weeks. As indicated, we now only have unisex-black to offer, but it’s a mighty fine shirt with very high print quality.

Finally, I’m pleased to inform you that a new print run of LoadingReadyRun DVDs has been ordered for each of seasons 2, 3, and 4. We don’t have an exact date yet, but they should all be back in stock on our store, and ready for you to buy, by the end of the month!

Thanks everyone, and we hope to see you at the comedy night! You won’t want to miss it!

Like, you really won’t.

Really.

T-Shirt Update: 24 Hours Left!
February 25th, 2010

Posted by Matt

That’s right! there are 24 hours left to order your Slacking shirt. I don’t have exact numbers on hand, but I’m pretty sure that we have reached our 50 pre-sale goal at this point, so it’s overwhelmingly likely that this run IS going to happen. Also, I’d like to remind everyone that if you want one of our many shirt styles, other than a standard unisex black, now is the time to do it.

As an added bonus, all pre-order shirts come with their own unique button which you’ll have to purchase seperately if you wait.

So if you’ve waited this long, you’ve shown yourself to truly be an olympic level slacker. It’s time to order the shirt that proves it.

And don’t forget, if you aren’t already a Canadian, we’ll confer ‘Honorary Canadian’ status on anyone who joins The 2010 Canadian Slacking Team.
