It looks like our matching t-shirts got us on the show!

We film on July 3rd, which is perfect because that means I can spend 4th of July weekend in Southern California.

According to my math, I have 16 days to drop some serious weight.  I just walked 7.5 miles to work today and probably burned ~400 calories.  Let's see, if 3500 cals = 1 pound, that means that in order to lose the ten pounds the camera will add,  I need to walk ~656 miles in 2 weeks.  

Great.

Ravena F. Banged On the butt!!

5 stars for that.

Additional lovin' props go to the various other good business practices & policies I've encountered here:

* Never smirking (outwardly), snickering, or pointing & yelling out loud whatever weird slogans I may choose to have printed on clothing
* Cute, simple clothes from which to choose for above-mentioned silly phrases
* Quick turn-around - often same day!
* Agreeing to use clothing brought in from elsewhere (for $5 fee)

Go get your Bang on!

Wasn't all that great. My & my friends went there about a week ago. The guy who worked there was pretty cool. & the girl with the bike helped my friend with his shirt after he'd FINALLY chosen a plain black tee. But before we finished choosing, she was kinda pissy. I saw her helping this one lady & she was pretty nice to her so I don't know if she just didn't like us. Lots of available designs. Took my friends an hour just to choose. Screening process was pretty quick, takes about 15 minutes so it can cool down after it's done. In general, the place was pretty cool but not spectacular. Maybe next time I'll get a bandanna.

Customer Service; pretty good. I guess it depends whether they like you or not & how long you wander in the store

Pricing: It's alright. All the stuff isn't made in sweatshops, so i guess $15 for a plain tee is OK. But beware, the big letters can go up to $3 a letter

Environment: To me, Haight is scary sometimes, but the place was clean & cool. Bonus for Sabotage-Beastie Boys playing when i first walked in. [Yay RockBand!]

They have porn letters.

I had a shirt made that said "Classy!" in porn letters.

Boobs on boobs.  

It made for a great conversation piece.  And excuses to get hot guys to stare at the twins.

They are rather pricy for a custom print place but it is pretty worth it.  I have had gifts made for 4 different friends including 2 pairs of Panties with "Wife" on the booty in sparkles for me and my Best friend.  Not only did the guy no look at me like I was weird but he also advised me on perfect placement.  The staff can be hit or miss sometimes but it is defiantly fun.

A bit pricey, but what isn't pricey on Haight Street? It's one of those places where you always know you are going to find what you are looking for if you are looking for this sort of thing.

We were throwing a party that night and wanted some t-shirts made for the staff to wear, but didn't want to have a bulk of shirts silk screened and spend a ton of money on them. $75.00 later, I had my three shirts made in an hour and they worked perfectly for the party. The price was worth the convenience.

Sometimes the staff can seem too cool for school, but I don't come here for the staff. I come for the goods.

I started thinking about Bang On today.  I was talking to my BFF Annalee about our BFF Unicorns Rainbow and Sunshine (Note:  If we HAD unicorns, they would be Best Friends and be named Rainbow and Sunshine).  Anyways, I suggested the next best thing to having Best Friend Unicorns...making t-shirts OF Best Friend Unicorns.  Obviously.  And where, you ask, might we be making these AMAZING t-shirts?  Um, Bang On.  Fo' sho.  

Bang On is not just a DIY t-shirt shop.  Bang On is an EXPERIENCE.  Around two years ago, another BFF and I, Sarah, were hanging out at Hobson's Choice when the most annoying person I have ever met within city limits sat down next to me.  He was gay so we assumed he was cool.  Wrong.  He proceeded to get trashed on Delirium, tell us his entire life story, and share with us his Electronica CD collection.  And invite us to his birthday party.  All that aside, he redeemed himself by opening up a little novelty pizza box with a t-shirt inside that he had made himself at Bang On for a friend.  It had something lame on it, some inside joke that was not funny.  Okay, off track again.  Anyways, Sarah and I, buzzed from Hobson's Choice Punch, and high off of the idea of making our own t's, immediately leave for Bang On to create our own lame inside joke t-shirts.  I went with David Hasselhoff on the back, and my inside joke nickname with Sarah (Dickie, don't ask) on the front.  And Sarah went with a lovely John Stamos ca. '88 (think big hair Uncle Jessie) and her inside joke nickname on the front (Yavi).  It was amazing.  Since then, we have returned and re-created the experience and it was still amazing.  Except Sarah ended up making herself a $50+ tshirt - totally nearly impossible to do but Sarah can do anything.  

The moral of this story is that Bang On is effing amazing...especially after a mini-upper Haight pub crawl when accompanied by a friend who can dork out as much as you can.  Bonus, the staff has demonstrated a high tolerance for annoying drunk chicks.  

So Bang On, um, we'll be there next week.

This is about to be my new favorite t-shirt spot and I see a lot of custom made tees in my future...I could've had stayed in that store all day cuz I kept thinking of new sh*t to put on a tee.

Oh yeah, don't sleep on the free "Karate Champ" game in the back.  Playing it again took me back to Round Table Pizza on Friday nights back in elementary school.  (FYI, the game is definitly "Karate Champ" and NOT "Kung Fu".  I know my video games, plus I used to own "Kung Fu" on Nintendo and I stayed up all night playing it the first day I got it)

Do you ever feel like your wardrobe isn't expressing your true emotions?

Can't find a Dead Kennedys 'Too Drunk To Fuck' hoodie in your size?

Are you cookoo for a Coco-Puffs t-shirt?

Bang-on!  This place is great and the people that work there are really helpful.  So if you need a t-shirt that will warn the stupid 'wannabe' homeless kids on the Haight to "keep the fuck away from me, you patchouli scented douchebag"  then stroll right into Bang-On and you can have one in just a few minutes.  Fun fun fun!

Say you're the sentimental type.

Say you're the quasi-creative type who likes to own items of clothing that only your doppelganger in Arkansas might also possess.

Say you're the procrastinator type, the sort of individual who puts off doing anything til the very last possible moment, causing undue stress in the people around you. (Deep down you know they love it though, 'cause it keeps them on their toes.)

I'm all three, and I exhibit these fantastic traits exquisitely.

I decided a long time ago to dedicate my run at the 2007 SF Half-Marathon to my recently departed father, a man who was a runner himself and who I can thank for the ounce of athletic ability in my body.

To do this, I opted to go the cheesy route and make a shirt that would demonstrate my gratitude. I went to Bang-On the Friday before (because I like to put things off, naturally), and chose a clean white American Apparel tank with light blue metallic writing in a big "FRANKIE SAYS RELAX" font.

Total Cost: $31.47
Time Taken to Make Shirt: 30 minutes

For $31.47, I was able to take my sentimental, pseudo-unique, procrastinating self and run 13.1 miles in a shirt that said "FOR DAD."

And I am so very thankful for that.

Definitely a fun activity to do, seeing what kinda of creativity I have in me.  I honestly think my hoody came out better because of the guy helping me.  Me being a product of the California school system, I wasn't exactly speaking clearly about how I wanted each item to look on the sweater.  But apparently he knew exactly what I wanted and when my hoody was all done and looking freakin awesome,  I even tipped him for it, a guy who can see through the muck of explanation deserves a little extra.  4 stars though because he didn't let the iron sit enough on one transfer.

I like Bang-On, the name reminds me of the Nancy Sinatra song, "My Baby Shot Me Down" that plays at the beginning of Kill Bill.

The store is like a tattoo parlor for shirts. They also sell belt buckles.

I bought a white t-shirt and had a vinyl record printed onto it along with the line Rollin on 12s'' that complimented the turntable belt buckle I bought. Pretty geeky. But I heard geek is chic this year.

Bonus points for having the old arcade classic "Kung-Fu" up and running in the back of the store, so you have something to do while you wait.

I would like to thank Kate K. with all of my heart.  Why?

Because last night I slept in the most comfortable cotton fire engine red boy shorts (that would be "booty panties" for those who don't know) that say "Kojak" in sparkle-y silver lettering on the back and the letter "c" on the front.  Not only does Bang on sell great quality clothing, but they include instructions on how to properly wash and care for your items.

My ba-dunk-a-dunk.  ......$500.00

My ba-dunk-a-dunk in fire engine red "booty panties".  ...........$2000.00

My ba dunk-a-dunk in fire engine red "booty panties" with the word "KOJAK" in sparkles across the back. ................$15,000.00

My ba dunk-a-dunk in fire engine red "booty panties" with the word "KOJAK" in sparkles across the back and the letter "C" in the front.........

PRICELESS.

No, you may not see and no, the "C" does not stand for what you think it stands for.  Or... wait.... does it Kate?

Now, if you'll excuse me for cutting this review short, I have to go answer my door.  There are some strange men with gold chains, gold grills and cameras nearly busting it down.  They're hollering strange words like "Shawty... video... smack dat... pop it.... clap... and booty booty booty booty rockin' everywhere".

A Friday night conversation:

Kate: Drue, what are you doing tomorrow?
Drue: Nothing -why?
Kate: I NEED to go get Ed a birthday present... wanna come?
Drue: What are you going to get him?
Kate: I dunno - I was trying to come up with something which would be wrapped in bacon...
Drue: I've GOT it!
Kate: What?
Drue: Let's get him a custom made t-shirt that says...
Kate & Drue: WRAPPED IN BACON IS THE NEW PINK!!!
Kate: Holy shit, Drue - you're 'effing BRILLIANT!
***
Where does one go to get a custom made t-shirt which says "Wrapped in Bacon is the New Pink," you ask?

Bang-On.

They did a bang-on job of creating a awesome t-shirt for one of our darling friends... they did it fast, easy and for a reasonable price (doesn't that sound so much dirtier than it actually is??)

The guy who was working there helped us pick a t-shirt, find a good lettering scheme and pick out colors (granted he did note the "I heart Yelp" button on my jacket... but, whatevs - I'm going to choose to believe that he'd give that exemplary of service to anyone who walked through the door...)

And, in the end we walked out of their establishment with the perfect Ed M. birthday present.

I will be going back for a pair custom made boy shorts which say "Columbo" on the ass... I'll let you all wonder as to why.

This place is DA BOMB.  If you're wanting the perfect sarcastic statement t-shirt, this is the place to go!

I love Bang-On. You can get really, really cool shirts and hats and bags here.

Pick a style, pick a color, pick an iron on from their huge, fun selection (maybe even some custom lettering) and 15 minutes later you will have a custom made shirt that rocks!

Where else can you get a t-shirt for a certain someones birthday (Ed M.) that says "Wrapped in bacon is the new pink", then exclaim you want it in pink foil "chinky" lettering with out the salespeople looking at you like you are insane? How about some panties that say Maddie Hayes across the ass, with the same helpful, non-judgmental smile?

Yes, here at Bang-On the customer service is as great as the product.

I'd written this review up months ago, and never got around to posting it.  So here it goes.

===
The women who whispers sweet nothings in my ear at night.  The women who steals my innocence.  The women who is trying to seduce me  (see http://www.yelp.com/bi...).  The (in)famous NISHisHOT.  You can't control her, you can only hope to contain her.

So it's a certain someone's 25th birthday and I had to find a present.  What do I get a person, who, let's face it, she's a few cupcakes short of a baker's dozen, yaknowhatimsayin?  I looked everywhere within our fair 7 by 7 miles.  And nothing was coming to me.  Nothing said "Happy Birthday crazed FWB-loving fake-review-writer la-la-la-la-la-LAMB!" quite like I wanted it to say.  And you know what happens when no presents are ever good enough for our friends?  That's right - you go personal!

So based on Jordano K's review, I went to Bang On, looking for just the right present.  I originally wanted to get NISHisHOT a shirt that said "I started Kristina R's congratulatory ROTD thread and all I got was a cupcake refusal" but it wouldn't fit on the t-shirt.  At least not NISHisHOT's t-shirt.  It probably would fit my XXXXXL shirt, but NISHisHOT is a bit more slim than I.  Curses!

Then, it hit me.  Brilliance.  I wrote the saying down.  And within an hour they had the shirt made for me.  The shirt was a baby blue and the letter were in red (not coincidentally Yelp colors).  Bang On did a perfect job.

For the finished product, please see here:  http://farm1.static.fl...

So, NISHisHOT, Happy 25th Birthday, and here's to many many more.

love,
Ed M
===

Anyways, I thought this review was poignant in more ways than one.  Because I will always remember 2006 not just from NISHisHOT, but from everyone that I've met this year on Yelp.  From the stomach-filled nights, the gassy morning-afters, the non-memories of the Yelp parties, and the debauchery of the DYLs, this is what 2006 has been about.  But most importantly, I will think back fondly of the friendships and the enemies and everything else in between that I've made on this here little 2.0 community.  I've only been "really" Yelping since August 2006, but I feel the Yelp community has always welcomed and accepted me with open arms.   You've really made 2006 the Best Year Evar for this fat Chinky immature boy from suburban Southern California, and for that, I thank you all and am eternally grateful.

Happy New Year y'all, and I'll see you in 2007.

Walking down Haight Street brought back a warm tingling feeling (could  it been the weed I had smokes years ago?).  My eyes wandered like a psychedelic haze on the shelves of earring, metallic bags and purses, belt buckles (sign in rhinestone-made to order), old 33 record black disc all over the walls and t-shirts of every kind (no sleeves, short, long, thin and/or thick cotton).  Graham, the store manager, told me that the store opened 3 years ago and he asked me how it was like then.  Amazingly, I told him, the Haight looks pretty much the same, other than the new chain stores around.  I bought a baby t for my grand-nephew.  A groovy black one-sies emblazed with a glittery rock style "Aydan" across the front.  Letters costed 65 cents each and the t-shirt was $12.00.  What a deal.

Who wouldn't love a design your own t-shirt shop where the possibilities seem endless.  

Need a fun Saturday activity.  Get a group of friends together and head on over to Bang-On to make t-shirts for each other.  My boyfriend and I have become addicted.  Now everything that comes out of people's mouths we both think, "that would make a great t-shirt."  

I couldn't give the full five stars because one of the t-shirts i made was marked as a small, but ended up being more like a large.  ERRR.

When you absolutely positively must have that white tuxedo print on the baby blue t-shirt to wear to your 80's prom theme party, or if you needed the perfect bandito belt to match your solitaire belt buckle, BANG-ON.

Ok... so I hate slogan t-shirts.  All those a-holes who think they are horrendously clever for wearing some tongue-in-cheek shirt that some idiot came up with (yes, THEY didn't even come up with the lackluster catchphrase) make me want to hurt cute fuzzy things.  And I LOVE cute fuzzy things.

Needless to say, there is always a time when you are simply POSITIVE that your equally stupid slogan would be F-ING BRILLIANT if put on a t-shirt and that when you wear it out on the street people will look up to you, want to hang out with you, want to keep their children away from you or just want to rip it off of you.

For those times, there's Bang-On -- and they're bangin'

"i'm with stupid"
"milf"
"kiss me, i'm irish"
"your mom is my girlfriend"
"rub my belly"

ok, so there's a whole lot more 4th grade humor t-shirts out there, but i can't remember them right now because all that 4th grade humor is dumbing me down. if you want the full list, just go to urban outfitters or even target, the stupid humor t-shirts galore. now if you're bored like me with what's out there, then head over to bang-on and create your humor or message t-shirt. for about $16, you get a blank american apparel t-shirt. then choose your humor or message. each letter costs a dollar. for example, a "i love jordano" t-shirt will cost you $28. for the mathematically challenged yelpers, that's $16 for the shirt and $12 for the letters. if you're not into words, bang-on also has hundreds of retro designs that you can choose from. so you should no longer have an excuse for wearing one of those 4th grade humor t-shirts.


um, btw, i do not own a "i love jordano" t-shirt. that would be sooo narcissistic. however, i do have "i got seoul" and "01101010."

She bangs!  She bangs! Oh Baby, she moves!  She moves!  She floats like a flower but she smells like a T.  Every T-shirt in history.
(OK, sometimes a name grabs ya like Abracadabra and you can't help but sing about it.  Re-write songs that are torture in your ear canals... just so they're bearable when you hear them again and sing your own version!)

Bang-On is a cool store.  I hate waiting and I hate crowds... a little agoraphobe in the making, yes... so sometimes it feels a little tight in there.  A custom graphic (even just words) will take a few hours depending on how busy they are, but they have so many cool designs ready for ya that you can get something thrown together in a few minutes or so.  

I was going to buy my friend Frank a bangin T of Patrick Swayze with the phrase "Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner" (sorry, private joke), but the men's T-shirts look a little misshapen.  (Or maybe my idea of a man's body is.)  Nevertheless, I didn't get it for him.  It's mostly American Apparel stuff, so you know the drill.  Little small here, little big there.

Bang it. Bang it.  Bang it like a polaroid picshah.

Ahhh SSSSS Bang it.  Bang it real good!

OK, I'll stop.

"100% Recycled Genetic Material"

I bought this baby shirt for my geneticist friend's little girl, and will probably go back here for many more gift items in the future.

There's a range of shirts, from the sublime to the icky to the hilarious and mundane...basically something for everyone, as there are literally hundreds of choices.

If you bring your own shirt, they'll charge $5 + the cost of the transfer. Otherwise, you can buy one of their American Apparel t-shirts or undies. This costs a few $ more, but keep in mind you're getting a t-shirt of relatively high quality that oughta last until your favorite slogan goes out of style and then becomes retro enough to sell on ebay for an incredibly stupid price 40 years later.

Along w/ t-shirts and undies, they also sell hats, shoelaces, belts, patches and buttons made by local and Canadian retailers.

To be honest, service wasn't exactly great, who knows, maybe I just came at the wrong time.

The workers weren't very attentive and seemed so fixated on their own private conversation than to help customers.

In the end the shirt turned out great and I loved it, but the total came out to be about 65 dollars including the price of the shirt. I guess I underestimated everything. 3 stars for endless designs and a perfect shirt.

Sweet little store in the haight that lets you bring in your own shirt and they will press any of the myriad designs the have available onto the shirt for ten bucks. They also do custom shirts, so you can make your own jersey for the sports you like.
I think team jerseys are totally underated. I have one for every aspect of my life:
cooking - the burner - #420
Sex - Mr Jazz Hands #69 (too cliche', i am sorry)
Just Chillin' - The won't get his lazy ass off the couch for anythinger #00

Screw Neighborhoodies! You can get the same thing done here and buy yourself (and a friend) a nice lunch afterwards with what you saved. Lots of different fonts, colors, shirts, designs.

I wonder if they can do bags...

Oh, but watch out for this one girl who works there. Surliest thing I've ever seen. If you're reading this, pissy girl- I'll trade jobs with you ANY DAY.

Kinda expensive, since you can now print up your own silkscreens and iron them on to a T-shirt, but I still go here.  They have all sort of cool stuff.  I just got my sister a T-shirt that says "NOT WITH STUPID ANYMORE" since she broke up with her stupid SanJo bf and moved back to the Citay.  I think the total, with a new American Apparrel T-shirt was about 30 bucks.  But if you need a fresh belt buckle or a mexican-wrestling mask this is the place on Haight.  And you can wait at Hobson's Choice next door while they make your order.  They were pretty swamped at 5 o'clock on a friday.

Cute funky little store. Impressed with the shirt services there. 85cents per letter and you can bring in your own shirt...cheaper than other places Ive seen and also you arent forced to have at least a dozen or anything made.
Also super sweet earrings for $5! Very retro, plastic, and 80's! They even had little mini plastic cereal box earrings. Cool!

best gift i gave in three years came from this store. maybe more. and i owe the kick ass color scheme to the staff. they so know what they're doing. they're kinda hot, too. wouldn't mind knowing what (read: who) else they might want to do (read: me).

So the love of my neurotic-obsessive-roller-coaster-of-emotions life, PartyBot 3000, happens to be the hottest tech geek in the entire universe. So naturally, there is a lot of sexual-innuendo banter back and forth around the house about "hard drives" and "backing up" and exactly where we can put our respective "floppy disks". (Nothing turns me on more than a man who can talk tech).
So imagine my glee and delight when, on a trip  through the fauxmless (fauxmless: noun; a term for the fake homeless kids who come from rich suburban families but are seeking out street life on the cushy sidewalks of the Haight) jungle known as upper haight, we came across Bang-On (Bang On? Why, I'd love to!) only to find that they had a great tshirt iron-on of a very hotsexy floppy disk. We promptly purchased a red tshirt with said iron-on for PB and I proceded to rub up against him inappropriately for the remainder of the day.
Of course, like all things PartyBot,  I had to have one too. And for Christmas, my wish came true! An olive green, super-tight girly tshirt with a big, fat floppy disk directly over my lady pancakes. Mmmm-mmm! They also have an unending inventory of iron-ons, designs, letters and fonts! This is truly the best place for gifts for hard-to-buy-for friends. The store is on the small, tight side and so are the shirts! I usually wear an XS or S and the Small American Apparel shirt is borderline too small for me (streeeeeeetch that floppy disk), but I  wear  it anyway. Because it has a floppy disk on it. And I love technology.

I love my Blondie shirt from Bang-On! I also enjoy chatting about tattoos & artists with the girl who works here & getting a discount from one of the nice guys there. If you're tourist, they probably won't be as nice.. sorry.
