With Radiohead's last song (Everything In Its Right Place) at Reading last night came the end of my summer festival circuit for this year!
Glastonbury followed by The Glade followed by Beautiful Days followed by a 24hr stopover (see below) followed by Shambala, finally followed by Reading Sunday! :)
Coming back home for more than 24hrs is definitely going to feel weird, since there are no more festivals to work until the middle of June next year.
This means that I can devote the next few days to getting the design for the shirts (now on white instead of pastel blue) completely sorted, ahead of the print slot in SEVEN DAYS TIME!
Buying the domain name today, maybe when the sun's gone in later on...
Hoping that you're still as excited about this as I am! Really not long now!
I'll let you know more when I know more :D

Back in Dorset from Beautiful Days last night and driving up to Northamptonshire for Shambala this afternoon!
Packaging has arrived, and I'm sending off the order for the t-shirt colour and sizes today - getting progressively more nervous now.
Reading on Sunday and then straight back to work on Monday to send the finalised design on the 1st/2nd!
Buying the domain name when I'm back from festivals for good :)

Great news!Print slot has been confirmed as the 7th September, so + 5/7 working days and then I'll be ready to sell!
Not-so-good-news is that I'm having a colour battle in my brain which I need your help to solve :(
The debate is to decide whether these two colours will work together?
Brotherin votes a yes but what do you think?
Packaging is sorted and everything's nearly ready to go now!
Coming back on Monday, arriving Tuesday then heading straight to Beautiful Days and THEN I'll be free of any plans from the 24th, but then again, it'll be Reading Sunday in no time at all! :))
Out.

Another sunny day started with me visiting the Idrætshøjskole i Sønderborg at 10.30.
Awesome guide called Louise showed us around everywhere from the swimming pool to the climbing walls to the gym and sports hall to the dorms and dining halls - super fedt!
Got a message from Anthony saying that printing would be around the 6th Sept, taking 7 days to get to me, so a preliminary new launch date is the 15th September (this may change with how fast the printers can get the shirts to me).
Other than that, we didn't play Minigolf today - fail.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted on anything else that comes up, but other than that, I've nothing else to report!
READING SUNDAY/RADIOHEAD IN 18 DAYS!
Out.

With rain dampening the most of my day, I thought it was going to be one of those sit-inside-all-day type days but, as if by magic, as soon as the thought had popped into my head we were bathed in the most GLORIOUS of sunlight! :)I've sorted out the packaging now, I hope you'll like it! Nice and simple but still awesome anyway!Well, for some reason or another, the print slot I hinted on having has now been taken so it looks like I'll have to push the launch back by a few days, possibly to around the end of the 1st week of September :SWell, I suppose that this gives me more time to get absolutely everything ready and sorted this way, but also means that you won't be able to get your hands on the lovely shirts for another little while :(Played minigolf with the brother today and was completely slaughtered 55-71!Back for take two with more people tomorrow, and I feel confident in saying that I will destroy him this time...Anyway, it's 10.30 and there's a French film about the Three Musketeers that I really shouldn't miss any more of!Take it easy- Ben
Quote is in from the printers and I've just got to finalise the colour scheme of the launch design before I send it off to them on Tuesday to get the print slot available in the last week of August!
All I'm going to say is that its a 4-colour design on a coloured shirt :)
Still hoping to meet the 1st September deadline and I'm still rushing around like mad putting the finishing touches on everything to make sure that it all runs like clockwork on the first day.
Still deciding what to use for the packaging, found a site but I'm still deciding, but I'm not saying any more on the matter right now :)
I've missed seeing one of my favourite local bands, Astronauts & Parachutes, to play at the Palace last night which is a shame, as I'm writing to you from sunny Denmark.
Tomorrow we move from Ringkøbing down to Sonderjylland for 6 days before returning home once more.
I'll be out of touch for the next few days.
Have fun and keep checking back here, MySpace or my Twitter accounts for little news snippets as to what's going on at Sanusi Apparel HQ :)
Take it easy,

Well, this is it, you've found me!
With launch of Sanusi Apparel just around the corner, I'm rushing to get everything sorted and ready for the big day (1st September - write it down!), sorting out the design with the printers, putting the finishing touches on the website and also making sure that as soon as I open shop, I'll be ready to go.
It's been a hectic few months, researching, designing, hoping, some more researching and I just hope it pays off in the end!
As you will find out when Sanusi Apparel is open online, I'm a teenager who's tired of corporate bosses such as Philip Green and Arcadia running the high street and I decided I wanted to build a clothing company that had not only fashion but also high quality wear in mind, not any of this mass-produced, cheap-feeling TopMan shirts that are ubiquitous to us and available at every street corner.
I hope that Sanusi Apparel becomes something different in leading the way to affordable but also high quality tees that you'll grow to love :)
I'll keep updating when I find something more to report, but at the moment I've got to get hold of my printers as the launch design has changed a little since our last discussion.
Until then, speak soon, be safe and have fun!
