Texas Theatre Oswald T-Shirts

A little local controversy.

Jason Reimer of Aviation Cinemas, who operates the Texas Theatre and created the T-shirt, says it is about accepting history. For better or worse, Oswald’s arrest at the theater (which Reimer prefers to call “the incident”) has defined the theater’s identity. “Dallas has not come to terms with a lot of its history,” he said. “Oswald is a part of the theater’s history. Everyone knows it. We are acknowledging it.”

    Deron, do you have one?

    Not yet.

    If I were a t-shirt wearer, I’d wear this. But I would never wear a t-shirt.

    Hey, Deron. I got Daryl a t-shirt that says Bible Camp Blood Bath. And another that says Shitty Mountains. I make him wear stuff like that.

    Shitty Mountains Bible Camp Blood Bath.

    That’d be good.

    Is the Bible Camp Blood Bath shirt related to Bible Camp Bloodbath?

    Bible Camp Bloodbath is a story about a boy named Martin. Martin is going to Bible Camp, and he’s going to make a lot of new friends. He’s excited, too, but that’s probably because nobody told him what the book is called.

    I wrote a poem once called “The Church Camp Kids Dry Hump the Summer to Bits.” Doesn’t really matter what the poem said.

    I love. Joey Comeau.

    Maefo, you must be why I know who Joey Cameau is.

    Michael, I think the shirt is from an obscure band that appropriated the name from the story. But I bought it strictly for the words. I knew they would send Daryl off to a dreamy place.
