Threadless loves geeks and #BlameDrewsCancer

Geeks!
http://www.threadless.com/loves/geeks
Attention Threadless geeks! The time has come for us to be unashamed of our quest for outrageous knowledge, our intellectual and social quirks, not to mention our big and busy brains. We believe being a geek should be celebrated. It’s a badge of honor, a compliment, so it’s about time we gave it proper digni-TEE! Your challenge is to...
Rest now Lindsey, we got this.

We have lost a dear friend.
A fighter.
A crusher.
A wonderful person.
She didn’t lose, though. She won. She is THE definition of a winner.
Lindsey Goldhagen, you have pushed the ball forward on closing up cancer’s shop once and for all. Today, Team Blame Cancer picks that ball up and will carry it into the endzone for a big old touchdown.

Last week was a great week. Even though I was feeling really crappy from chemo, great things were happening. I was honored to be asked to speak at the Mashable Social Good Conference. And after that, another honor was given…a spot to sit in on Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library TV.

If you don’t know who Gary is…well, what’s wrong with you? Hehehe.
He reviews...

CityPaper letters to the Editor
Can we all agree that Drew’s cancer blows?
I blame Drew’s cancer for the fears that my 6-year-old has now — that no child should ever have [Naked City, “The Culprit,” Morgan Davis, July 23, 2009]. She has been cancer-free for 19 months. So take that, Drew’s cancer.

What potential sponsors ask us the most is “Who is talking about this?”
This being #BlameDrewsCancer…wish they’d just say it ;)
It’s understandable. Money is tight these days, it’s not easy to donate and sponsor and put your name to something.

Excellent article about #BlameDrewsCancer posted at Causecast: Blaming Drew’s Cancer: My Favorite New Twitter Trend.
“His name is Drew Olanoff,” said my friend. “The two of you know a lot of the same people. You’ll probably recognize him from Twitter. He’s a great guy. He has a lot of tattoos, and he’s a total geek.”
Thanks Melissa!
