A Search for Shirts and a Testimony, Too
Thu., Feb. 3. 2022 3:53pm EST
Here's an amazing and amusing testimony from a clever fan in Cleveland:
I don't know how many different tee shirts you've sold over the years, but I only became a huge ApX fan in 2012, and I only have the latest tee shirt.
In late May or early June 2012, I bought a new car. The previous car that I owned for nine years had a CD player that stopped working a long time prior. Since I then had a working CD player in my car again, I started looking again at the CDs on my shelf. At the time, I only owned two ApX CDs, Jesus Christ Morningstar and Spoofernatural, which I bought at one of your concerts in early 2000's.
Here's the cool thing: I thought, "I wonder what ApologetiX is up to nowadays?" This was in June 2012. I went online and discovered that you would be playing at The Rock Church in Garfield Heights a week and a half later. It was less than two miles from where I lived. That was incredible timing, definitely not my timing! And then I had a lot of fun over the next several years looking for and buying all of your CDs from wherever I could find them, one site being One Way UK in London.
God willing, my sister and I are going to a two-day conference next month. I plan on wearing my ApX tee shirt to the conference. Just recently, I thought how great it would be to have more than one type of ApX tee shirt. Or maybe I'll just wear the same shirt both days and make people wonder if I slept in it. I'll shower anyway so people really don't think bad of me.
For the record (or CD or MP3), I Googled and Duck Duck Go'ed online for ApologetiX tee shirts. I found one tee shirt on Ebay. The person is selling an XL "Enter Samson" tee shirt for $124!!! No, thank you. Think about it: a "scalper" selling a Samson tee shirt. How wrong is that?

Editor's note: Well, Ron, that sounds like a hair-razing experience. But if that seller is losing his shirt, he's probably going to need money. Unless he's got something up his sleeve we don't know about. Of course, it could be a lady, too. Maybe you should collar and find out? Button second thought, maybe not.
