International T-Shirt Day is just a lucky 13 days away. What are you doing on June 21st?

As many of you might have already heard, we are celebrating the T-Shirt Day together with laFraise by putting on an “Open Runway” in Berlin where any t-shirt designer/lover/wearer can present their favourite tees to the world.

What you might have missed would be that you can also celebrate T-Shirt Day from the comfort of your own home. Rouse up your friends, family, neighbors and colleagues to honour your favourite tees with, say, a T-bone steak barbeque. Perhaps you could gather some of those shirts that you might not wear too often to give away to those who aren’t as well-off. Decorate your street with clotheslines filled with t-shirts. Maybe show off your t-style, regardless of the weather, with a short-sleeved jaunt through your town or city.

Celebrate T-Shirt Day in your own way by hosting an event and register the festivities on the website so others can perhaps join in.

Events have already been registered in the U.S., Norway, India, and Germany and we’re hoping that you’ll join in on the worldwide party.

P.S.  We will be raffling off 10 sets of 10 free t-shirts to 10 different participants who host their own T-Shirt Day event. To qualify, all you have to do is have a Spreadshirt shop and register your party the T-Shirt Day site by June 14th. We will select the winners on June 15th, notify them by e-mail and announce the winning events here in the Spreadshirt blog.

If you look to the left you’ll see a screen shot of the official Spreadshirt shop for T-Shirt Day 2009. It looks great, but is still quite a bit empty. We have to change this. Fast.

Calling all Shop Partners and Marketplace Designers! Either tag your favourite shirt designs with “tshirtday09” or upload a new favourite design with the tag “tshirtday09”.

We’ll grab those designs a put them in the shop, and to top that we’ll be sending some of them out in newsletters and slapping them on banners. So, tag on!

P.S. This is just a friendly reminder that you still have time (until Thursday) to submit designs for the “Social Media” T-Shirt Design Contest with laFraise and Spreadshirt. You can find details about the contest here.
