Late night sit down.

I have been spending alot of time, outside of my home city of Fitchburg. and spending alot of time in Gardner MA, and Athol / Orange MA. mostly because its just alot slower pace, and i can take some time to think. Last night i had a good long chat with my pals Jimmy and Josh from Flight of the Navigator. Just talking about where everything is going with there music and my line. how things have changed up in there lineup and how Im bringing Free Idea back to its roots from where it started from. We got on topic about how Alot of bands are sorta starting to sound alike, and how clothing lines are just starting to blend together. overall at the end of the talk. we came to the absolute conclusion that Free Idea and Flight of the Navigator are connected at the hip.
there is no wrong way about it. Both of us started just around the same time. They even gave me my first actual break and invited me to setup at my first show setup. all in all there great dudes, and there is going to be alot going on within both FOTN and Free Idea.

I would like to announce that the Free Idea shop on 41 elm street will be closing this october after the "nightmare on elm street" release.
just so nobody comes to an idea that "free idea isnt doing good" or "blah blah blah"
these are the reasons why the shop is closing.

1. My Lease on the space is up in October.

2. Im starting College October 26th

3. i want to bring Free Idea to everyone. and meet and talk with the people who are apart of what i do. I dont want you to have to plan on coming down between the hours the shop is open.

4. The shop is a humble atmosphere, but for me, i would rather people see it on a table setup in some hall than hanging on a wall in a shop.

5. I never intended on being a clothing designer. ever. I just wanted to take things that made me happy and put them on shirts for other people who liked them. so thats what its going back to.

6. I want to give more back.

7. bigger, better, Free Idea stuff.

plain and simple.

THE NEW FREE IDEA FALL LINE!

this is part one of the fall Free Idea. line. the 2nd half will release in mid october. as long as everything goes well.

the first tee. the free idea "freeplaid" is a take on an older free idea design. (FI) and redone in a red, blue and white plaid on a natural color tee.



The second piece is the Free Idea "Public" tee which is inspired by one of my favorite hip hop groups of all time "Public Enemy"
this tee is a red and black print on a soft yellow tee.



The Last piece of part 1 is the First EVER free idea sweater.
the Free Idea "Catcher" sweater is amazing. made of a 50/50 blend fleece. this sweater will keep you very warm. but is not heavy and is an easy addition to almost any setup.
a light rose petal red matched up with a charcoal grey print on Ash grey sweater.

Since the release of the new line. the "Catcher" sweater has been the fastest moving. get yours before there gone.



take advantage of the FREE SHIPPING given out all weekend!

VWeekly meet.

If you know me personally, then you would know that i am obsessed with Volkswagen and anything volkswagen related. Early last week i got a call from my friend Jay asking if i wanted to come to a meet up. i used to not really be down for meetups to talk about cars. but i decided to go. my car was also sitting on a dummy tire and shot suspension. now its no longer on a dummy tire. its still sitting on shot suspension until i get my new coilovers in a few weeks (yay). but the meetup turned out to be alot of fun. cruising around and just hanging out with rad people talking about nothing other than volkswagen.
