Videos: Papist Dave continues his AmP tour of the USA!

American Papists Dave (and Linda) continue their tour of the United States, with Dave proudly sporting American Papist Apparel and shooting a few video journals. Here he is in Gettysburg, PA:

And Cape May, NJ:


Gosh, I'm jealous. When do I get a vacation?!

Answer: when more people buy AmP Apparel. ;-)

Another excellent submission of AmP gear in action!

Anne of the Under Her Starry Mantle blog explains:

Hi Thomas, We finally got to Sydney as planned, my gregorian chant choir, Schola Cantorum was singing down there.

The photo has the Sydney Habour Bridge on one side, and if you look very carefully, on the other side of my head, you can just see the Sydney Opera House. This photo was taken from Sydney's Taronga Park Zoo. The Habour was where the Holy Father went across on the boat last year.

We had been down there last year for WYD with our six children. The Holy Father passed us only a metre away on the Monday morning he flew out. 

I'm wearing my 'organic cotton' AmP t-shirt 'cause I'm very alternative with health things, great to see the offer for organic material was there!

God Bless, Anne.

Anne also included a very important message:

Haha! Well done. AmP Apparel also makes excellent Christmas presents for the kids. ;-)

Pic/Video: Papist Dave sports the AmP Gear

Back when I launched "American Papist Apparel" in December, I asked papist readers to send me photos of them sporting AmP gear so I could create a photo gallery of American Papists.

Papists Dave (and Linda) did it one better with both a photo and a video shout-out (posted below).

I think theirs is a fantastic first entry in what I hope will become a little tradition other American Papists take up this summer. :)

Step 1: Get AmP gear. Step 2: Go on vacation. Step 3: Send me a photo. Step 4: See yourself here!

I promised that I would publish any AmP-gear touting papist, and Chris took me up on the offer:

Now that's what I like to see!

Of course, Papst Beer is the AmP beverage of choice, but Guiness is a perfectly acceptable substitute.

Introducing American Papist Apparel!

Plenty of folks have asked me over the years why there wasn't any such thing as American Papist fan gear?

There's a simple answer: I don't know how to make it.

Well, lucky for us, Erik Bootsma has genersouly contributed his top-notch graphic design services, so now we're happy to offer you the first "official" American Papist fan gear on CafePress for American Papist Fans.

... and not just AmP fans, but also anyone who wants a distinctive "Not Your Average Catholic" brand of clothing.

Shirts, Hoodies, Kids clothes, Hats, Bags, Mugs, Buttons, Magnets, ... we got it all. I think the stickers are cool, myself.

And if you need some graphic design work done for you, well, you can already tell Erik knows his stuff. Contact him at erikbootsma [at] yahoo.com and see if he can help! (update: and also visit his blog, Beatus Est.)

And do please spread the word around about AmP Apparel!

Also, I'd like to create a gallery of AmP fans sporting their papist gear. So if you buy something from the story, send me a picture of you with it and I'll figure out a cool way to use it down the road!
