Hey Portland, Oregon, this post is specifically for you. This coming week, I’ll be bringing a stack of sample t-shirts that I designed and printed to a number of bike shops in town. The design is a play on the classic “I <3 Place” but instead of a heart, there’s a bicycle pedal.
I grew up in the Pacific North West and this design is an homage to a town that I know and love. I took some of my most memorable rides in and around Portland and I’m looking forward to many more in the future.
If you love to ride your bike around Portland, then this is just the shirt for you to sport and show your pride and commitment to a better world.
If you would like to order an I Pedal PDX shirt, they are $24+s/h. contact me: chris@pinkminute.com and let me know your color, size and style preferences, and I’ll send you paypal invoice for the purchase.
Thank you & Enjoy.
Window Washing Coupon for the Ojai Valley Directory
Cindy Frings, you know her from her facebook or her website where she’s an art dealer. And I know her from years past volunteering to make the Ojai Art Center a great place to spend a Pink Minute. We even hosted a Pink Moment Ball there once during my 4.5 year tenure as Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
But I bring you this post because, the aforementioned lady, Cindy Frings, is most certainly a preferred Window Washing by Chris Wilson client. Maybe its something about those louvered windows, but no, it’s more. Cindy perseveres. Cindy gets her windows washed, once and some times twice per year. She’s consistent. And best of all, she’s a good friend.
I was at her home, which I’m pretty sure is a Pierpont, a few weeks ago, and as I wrapped up the job she said she was going to send an email to many of her friends and associates who she thought might like to have their windows clean, clear and sparkling. It’s a good feeling and she was in the mood to spread the love.
Well her email, basic and clear”
“Just an fyi…. I had my windows washed yesterday by Chris Wilson. He did such a good job and the price was so good, I said I would pass this on. Chris Wilson 208-9254 or chris@pinkminute.com.”
got me two immediate responses. Two days later I followed up with my own appeal and secured several more jobs. People are talking and I’m busy washing windows. I love it.
While looking for blank t-shirts and screen printing equipment on Craigslist last night, I found this interesting ad.
I’ve often thought a bicycle delivery service made good sense for the Ojai Valley, and now I’m pleased to see that its happening.
Dan Carrigan, you’re my new hero.

LEAVE YOUR CAR AT HOME!
This is a beautiful short film I came across via Reddit. Its voiced by Werner Herzog one of my favorite film makers. I’ve become very particular about using reusable organic tote bags, and tonight, I found myself in town without one and had to give life to a new black plastic friend with handles. Must be some sort of cosmic justice.
Enjoy, this fine piece of film making. Then go here and buy a bag that will truly make a difference in each of our lives.
Mark Highlove caught me at the Ojai Farmer’s Market a few weeks ago and for the second time asked me about printing some shirts. I’m used to idle idea banter in Ojai — heck I’ve been known to engage in totally awesome free forum mind storming sessions — so when it actually comes together and develops into a working project, I’m very pleased. I like to get some things done.
I followed up with Mark and what you see here is the result of some not so typical Ojai (slash) Meiners Oaks creative minds at work.
Gnome Fairy Chopper Artist Liz Ioseb
Mark proposed printing two designs in small runs, which is my specialty. For the t-shirts he showed me a Gnome and Fairy riding on a chopper drawn by Ojai Artist Liz Ioseb.
Mark will be taking the shirts and about 50 red shop towels printed with his website information and a big 1% design to the Dice Magazine 31st Issue Release Party in Oakland this weekend. Dice is a really fresh, digest sized biker magazine out of the UK that has expressed interest in publishing Marks designs, he tells me.
If you’re interested in getting one of the t-shirts, contact chris@pinkminute.com and I’ll print one for you.
