Sweet deals in Chicago this week. On Tuesday morning, all Subway restaurants in the area were giving away FREE muffin breakfast sandwiches ($2.00 value). Today, for lunch, Jimmy John’s was “appreciating” its customers by offering $1.00 sandwiches ($4.00 savings).

I’ve talked about this kind of stuff before, but it still amazes me. People go nuts for free/cheap shit, no matter what. I had to wait for 20 minutes to get my stupid egg sandwich with two saggy little pieces of bacon in it, in line with a ton of downtown business types who did not need to be saving two bucks. If they did, maybe there wouldn’t have been so many fake tans reflecting off the fluorescent lights in there. And the line for Jimmy John’s today was hilarious and pathetic. I guess if you get paid a salary and don’t have to report to anyone in particular, it’s okay to take an hour or more on your lunch break and grab that sweet deal. But if I had that much free time on my breaks, I wouldn’t spend it in line waiting to get a sandwich. I’d hit the tanning booth.

Of course, you need a soda to go with that sandwich, don’t you? $2.50. Customer appreciation indeed! Thanks for drinking overpriced sugar water, have some shit for cheap! I went to a little place up the street and got some falafel instead, with a cup of water.

Anyway, my Limited Edition prints are almost done and I’ll be putting a website up very soon that announces their completion and availability to the public. Each print generated by my car will come with two other prints: one, a swatch of Hot Rod Gray paint; the other, a text piece detailing the specifics of the project. As promised, the original MSRP of the car ($12979) has been divided by the number of prints I was able to make (243) to make the cost of each set of prints $53.41. If that seems a bit steep, I understand. I appreciate your patronage and will be offering a few special deals on these prints over the next couple of months. The first promotion I have scheduled will be in late June, and it will give you the opportunity to get a free small Diet Coke with your purchase.
