 Post subject: Zane: A Fantastic Merch Guy.Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2007 2:15 pm 
I'd certainly be willing to bet. It's a well-known fact to concert goers that band t-shirts are never the size they claim to be. However, rare is the merchandise worker who bothers to point this out to the people who don't know this fact. Nor do they usually assist in advising a suitable size for the customer. When I saw Eisley in October, he told everyone buying a t-shirt that they should get a bigger size. Not only that, he knew what size a person wanting a small should get, what size a large would really be, etc.. He was extremely helpful, and kind. Most merch people are there because they have to be, and don't really know much about the products they are selling. Zane was a bresh of fresh air. I think he deserves a round of applause. Merch guys never get enough thanks, anyway. *claps* _________________ No one sensible believes in ghosts anyway- that's because they're all such liars. |

Also, he used to have the world's best ever myspace profile pic. If he ever changes back to it, he would get into my top 8 on the strength of the profile pic alone. |

Ah, helpful indeed. He warned against shrinkage and even with several washes, my shirt still fits perfectly. Thanks! While I was in line, I also noticed Chauntelle helping someone pick out sizes/shirts. And not just from behind the table, but standing beside the person holding up shirts and discussing for comparison. I thought that was very nice as well! |

Weird, with me he came around the table and took measurements. He didn't have a measuring tape so he just used his arms and hands. He suggested we go in the back to measure my inseam but I didn't want any Eisley pants and had to leave anyway. He sure was friendly. _________________

I find that most merch guys who really care about their job are fairly helpful with size of the shirts they are selling. However, I will go on record as saying that Zane was very smiley and helpful. Even if he seemed creeped out that I knew his name. _________________ "I ask none to live for me, nor do I live for any others. I cover no man's soul, nor is my soul theirs to cover."?

Haha. When I was buying merch, he was wearing the sized hoodie I wanted so he took it off and said "I've pre-warmed it for you" _________________ Say something witty, dammit! http://kimschaefer.bandcamp.com/ http://youtube.com/kimschaefermusic |

Zane is cool.  I liked him. He seemed pretty organized, which is probably pretty helpful thing to be for a merch guy.

Most of their shirts (if not all of them) are printed on American Apparel so if your having a hard time with sizes go to their website and check the handy charts they have online. _________________ www.timkimdesign.com www.myspace.com/timkimdesign change is happening. |
