A Wonderful Evening Of Bleakness


I've been working my way through Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic book The Road over the past couple of days and last night, (with only 40 pages left), I managed to finish it. The basic premise centres around a father and his son struggling to survive as they travel down a single road, cutting through America which has been ravaged by fire and is now covered in a blanket of ash. Needless to say it isn't the feelgood book of the year but a total page turner nonetheless and possibly one of the best books I've ever read.

Feeling a little jaded and somewhat depressed after finishing the book I then watched the movie The Escapist starring Brian Cox. This is a British prison flick and to even briefly describe the plot would be giving too much away, just trust me and rent this movie. It has all the great elements of a prison escape story plus a lot more. There you go folks, read The Road and watch The Escapist...unless of course you are looking for a laugh.

Apologies

We realise that the radio silence on here has been deafening but that was mainly due to a hectic festive period in terms of work and socialising, but now with all of that over we can focus on keeping you guys updated on the latest developments at the S.D.F.C. We've released two new tees this week, (click on the pics for more info), one is a tribute to the 80s Sci-Fi classic Back To The Future and the other references Mad Max, (in a classified advert style). There is a reason for the basic design of the Lone Pine Mall tee as it's based on the original sign which you see in the film. Yes, we could have added a more detailed pine tree, made it look more artistic and pleasing to the eye, but as a fan of the movie and a friend of the S.D.F.C. pointed out, we would be doing the hardcore fans a disservice. The tee also subtly references an in-movie gag about the name of the mall, if you don't know it then we suggest you watch the movie again.
We have more designs on the way and around 20 current designs to be transferred onto our hoodie section so keep checking back for more regular updates. Enjoy.
