Really though, we can’t keep up anymore. I guess buy a tank top? or a hoodie? or flip flops? or a beanie? In all seriousness though, closing down for bad weather hurts small businesses. So let’s all take advantage of this upcoming heat wave and go out and support our local friends.

We’re no good at Tarot readings, but we just tried it, and the cards say you need to go grab some mystical.thoughts.shop merch right now! They’re really doing a cosmic labor of love over there and we’re so excited to feature them on the site!

Gadzooks! Moon City Pub merch is available at thethreadscollab.com!!! We’re seriously stoked that we got to add this C-Street classic to the site! We love hanging out with this crew and you would too. If you want to support them, but don’t want to wait for the roads to clear up. Go grab a Moon City Pub hoodie!

Don’t Lose The Thread! Weekly Update!

This week was a blast! Even with the weather postponing some really exciting meetings.

We met early in the week with a little food truck that, despite it’s name, is doing big things QUICKLY (That’s the only hint you get)

We got three awesome businesses’ merch on the site! Druff’s, Moon City Pub, and Mystical Thoughts Shop! Two of which will get bigger individual announcements later this week! We seriously can’t express how excited we are to work with so many awesome people. ❤️

Saturday we meant to work, but instead learned how our Magic decks we got from Dirks Tavern worked. So we could go lose gracefully tonight at Druff’s.

Today, I realized that asking my very talented wife to pump out a comic strip by Sunday every week while working a full time job, was in fact, a pretty tall order. (You may say that I’m a dreamer). So for now we’ll do the weekly update on Instagram and Facebook both and “Loose Threads” will be back intermittently. All the more reason to stay tuned!

As always we love you guys, we love this community, and thanks so much for tuning in! ❤️

Yoooo, it’s the collab we’ve been waiting for! This new shirt is metal as hell and we’re absolutely here for it. knocked it out of the park with this design! Did we mention it’s live right now? Like seriously you can own this awesome shirt or hoodie. Don’t make like a dragon and sleep on it.

Yikes, I know we’re new to the online merch game, but we’re positive Yeezy is doing it wrong. thethreadscollab.com is still growing, BUT we DO offer more than one shirt, and none of them are absolutely batsh!t insane things to sell.

It’s cold and dangerous outside. So hop on our site and support the local legends you love from your couch by buying some of their merch. ❄️❤️

Don’t Lose the Thread! Weekly update!

Monday and Tuesday: We honestly just worked. The boring stuff, paper work, emails, social media planning. Nothing you wanna hear about.

Wednesday: We ate lunch at City Butcher and worked on some awesome new shirts that are coming very soon! That evening we sat down and had an absolute blast at Whiskey and Words with the Tremendicon crew!

Thursday: Had to reschedule a meeting. So we went to buy Magic cards at Dirks Tavern. If you have Table Top or Trading Card Game needs, this. is. the. spot. Some of the friendliest and most helpful people you’ll ever meet! We ended the day with dinner at Skully's and drinks at The Royal! Always default to the homies. 🙌🏻

Friday: We missed an awesome show at Lindberg's Tavern, BUT WE got to eat Zayka Indian Cuisine and pop in on 1984 with some dear friends!

Saturday: Our plan was to just buy a few little things we forgot at Dirk’s on Thursday, but we ended up checking out Ten Years Gone Vintage (If you loved Hakaar’s Bizzare before, you’ll love it even more now.), and then we stopped in at Moon City Pub for a beer. That one beer became a fist full of beers. Not because we have a problem, but because the owners have cultivated an absolutely lovely and welcoming experience that is hard to walk away from.

Sunday: We stayed so busy that we didn’t get a comic strip out this week, but we wrote this, and now we’re going to start prepping for the Super Bowl. We wouldn’t be local lovers if we didn’t root for them Chiefs! ❤️💛

Thanks for tuning in! We love you guys and hope you have an awesome week! ❤️

It’s still winter, but Before And After Brewing, socuriousco, and buttermilkrules are bringing the summer vibes! Stop in at B&A February 22nd for some great drinks, food, and sweet treats! We can’t stress enough that these are some of the most talented people in the service industry. Don’t sleep on em’!

02/06/2025

isn’t just a thing we sell shirts for (you should buy one though). We go to every single show and we’ve never had a bad time. and the gang put on a show that genuinely feels like you’re just hanging out with your funniest and best looking friends. You can get tickets right this second in the “See it Live” section of themysteryhour.com or the the “Calendar” section of thethreadscollab.com

We kid, but really there is no better time to support that cool local spot! We’re all guilty of it. There are several local places that have closed or announced closure recently that we had always said we’d get to eventually. One patron seems insignificant, but if every person that “would get to it eventually” got to it now, we could keep cool spots around and encourage more people to create and grow in our community. Sounds pretty cool right?!

Love you all and love this community. Thanks for tuning in! ❤️

02/04/2025

We have a list. Sometimes people reach out to us before we can reach out to them. Sometimes we reach out to them before they have merch they’d like to make available.

What we would like to know though, is who do YOU want to see featured?? Tag a business, an artist, a musician/band, an entertainer, yourself in the comments and we’ll reach out!

02/03/2025

Congrats! You survived the longest January maybe ever! Now that February is here, let’s get back on that horsie and go support the homies! Swing by https://thethreadscollab.com/collections and snag your favorite merch, so you can look good doin’ it!

We love community! We sell merch for local businesses, entertainers, artists and more! Check out our community calendar!

It’s time for the weekly update! Which we’re calling “Don’t Lose The Thread”

Monday: We begged marleymade to make us this cool weekly update template.

Tuesday: She finished it and we argued about the color scheme. (In a fun way.)

Wednesday: I’d like to say we worked, but we had coffee with my_417_life and found ourselves a Fund Friends 417 while walking around down town. We realllly meant to get to work after that, but instead went and had lunch with Billy Dove II at Momma G’s Kitchen. Delicious. Now when I tell you we were seriously gonna bust out some top tier work after lunch, I mean it. So naturally we popped in on Nowhere's Store of Forgotten Lore and Perfect Tilt Pinball with our friend Grace for “networking purposes”.

Thursday: We anxiously awaited the results of 417 Magazine’s Best of announcements to roll in.

Friday: We bragged on our buddies.

Saturday: We went to a wedding. 🎉

Sunday: This morning we dropped our second “Loose Threads” comic strip and I’m way proud of it. The process here is, I tell my wife five of my dumbest ideas, and she makes her favorite one a reality. Honestly the ultimate collaboration. 💪🏻

We truly hope you all have a great week and thanks for tuning in! Love ya’ll! ❤️

Did you know that City Butcher won 417 Magazine’s best of 417 yesterday? Did you know that we have some of their awesome merch available at thethreadscollab.com right now?! With even more awesome designs on the way! Whether it’s lunch, or what to wear to lunch, City Butcher Barbecue has ya covered!

01/29/2025

Chain restaurants and retail stores are convenient, fur sure, but they don’t stimulate the local economy and they don’t keep your neighbor’s lights on. (Unless your neighbor is Menard’s or Motel 6) Support the folks that support you, and go to the thethreadscollab.com to look good doin’ it. ❤️

Selling local merch: Entertainment edition. We love all the businesses and artists we work with, but it’s time to show some love to local entertainment!

The Mystery Hour is one of the best date nights in town. Improvised comedy, interviewing local talent, a local musician to wrap it up? Pretty hard to beat!

Pop Goes the Culture is an awesome local podcast that will keep you informed of the goings on in entertainment and pop culture! Available wherever you listen to podcasts!

innerorbitpinball is the place to get ahold of if you’re looking to add some awesome arcade cabinets and pinball machines to your business space!

Of course thethreadscollab.com is the place to get the merch and support them all. Support local and have fun doin’ it!
