OK, I won't wear mine.  :)  Yeah, I got it from Brian also, around 10 years
ago or so.  Back when he ran the 'Rock Cave' and before he founded
Cleopatra.  The other one I got from him is a tie-dye, with the Space Ritual
cover on the front and some original design on the back.  It's really
cool...I wore it to the St. Catharines show in c. 1991, and when I talked to
Dave, he wanted to know where I'd gotten it.  I think he just was curious as
to who was making money at their expense. :)  That same day, it was Chris
Bruce (on the day of the van accident IIRC) who stopped me on the street
nearby and told me it was a 'pirate.'  Ah well, the band's already earned
enough of my money already, and without that profit Brian made, we might not
have *any* US space rock labels (Madonna tributes notwithstanding).

You can read Dave Thompson's propaganda to tell which ones.  :)

P.S.  The 'Welcome to the Future' shirts...aren't they from the 1997 mini-tour?
