It's a family thing.


First of all, a huge thank you to one of our partner companies in launching this site - Doc's Austin (MotorWorks, Backyard and Drafthouse). They are posting some awesome specials, and just gave us some prime sign space on South Congress!

Here is our highly trained and motivated by a free soda work force hanging the sign (my kids).

Thanks to all for your support and supporting wantANDfound.com and all the great local businesses.

Where we got our cool shirts!





We are almost out of our first run of shirts - people love them. We went with an American Apparel track-T - made in USA, sweat free in LA. They are great to run it or have drinks at Imperia or Paggi, Austin is very casual after all.

We had them printed locally right here at Aztec. Great operation. We went on a full tour and learned all about screen printing - it is definitely an art and a lot more work than we ever realized.

We are getting more shirts made, so let us know if you want one.
