The Vintage T-Shirts Expedition

The Seattle Channel, a local television station that presents an eclectic series of shows about all things Seattle on cable TV (Channel 21 on Comcast and Millennium) and online, contacted us to do a piece on our t-shirt company. The City-a-Go-Go crew filmed a few days later and turned the whole thing around in a week. We’re thrilled with the way Nancy Guppy and her talented team put this together.

Visit The Seattle Channel for the complete City-a-Go-Go episode and much, much more.

When Matt and Co. filmed the TV commerical in Kona earlier this month, Lyman Medeiros also interviewed Matt about Desteenation and our mission to sell vintage t-shirts from beloved, local establishments. We were pleased that they chose to include the bit about Teshima’s Restaurant and to include footage of Mrs. Teshima. She’ll be celebrating her 100th birthday this year, and we’re all excited to honor her and support such a terrific local restaurant.

You can watch the interview by visiting the Big Island TV website and clicking on the ‘Features’ link and then clicking on Desteenation.

Only one week after what we’re told was an exciting day at the Kona Store with the Big Island TV crew, including the legendary Lyman Medeiros and our new friend Sam Choy, we have a real, honest-to-goodness TV commercial airing on the Big Island.

We’ll get it streaming here in a few days. In the meantime, you can check it out on the Big Island TV website by clicking on the ‘Shopping’ link and then clicking on Desteenation.
