A word from the Owner

           Yes! TeaZe is back open and back in effect! As most of you proudly know,we were closed for a couple of months. We went through a few changes and had some growing pains, bet we're OK now. We're back on track, and have re-dedicated our mission in life to bringing you the hippest, craziest,most funkiest Rock, Reggae, Metal, and Politically incorrect T-shirts on the face of the planet!
           First off, I would like to thank all of the loyal customers that have come back to the shop at TeaZe.We really appreciate the business. Thanks for the support, the good words of encouragement, the pats on the back, and just generally the good vibrations you people have brought back to the store. Like many of you guys heard me say before, "This store is for the people!" and I really mean that, folks! This store is a labor of love. The love of people like me and you, for the love of us! For the love of Freedom of speech!
           Y'all Know this is the "free Speech Zone!" That's not just some catchy slogan we came up with.We really believe it, and we really live it. So just to remind you, and just so you know.You can come to this shop and say whatever is on your mind, or if or just need a place to get something off your chest, you can come in and do it. Nobody is gonna put you down or try to silence you from speaking your piece! So there! 
            Now for the good stuff. Guys, you would not believe all the new gear I got in here. I've got a ton of new merchandise! Bob Marley gear from Zion Roots Wear, Grateful Dead from Liquid Blue, and Yes! We still we still got your beloved Cradle of Filth from Blue Grape! Also the basic classics like Hendrix, Janis, and Doors. Plus, you know we always got Danzig and Metal Freaks and we still got Pride stuff, with more on order. Also, check this out: I got a whole shitload of new incense, good quality stuff, not cheap crap! Always, you get the idea.
             I want to extend a personal invitation for all of you, Young and old, short or tall, white, black, red or brown, good ol' boys and bad ol' girls. It don't matter, come on down to TeaZe and check it out! If you've never been there before, come trip on Farmington's funkiest store. We even got fur on the walls! How funky is that!? Bye for now, I'll holler at you later on next month.  


Peace and Love, Zack

A PAGE OF FREE THOUGHTS! Julie's Rant I: We live in a world where a small time drug peddler may get caught and serve a mandatory sentence of 15 years. We live in a world where a woman gets raped and is too scared to press charges. Some of the brave few do take their perpetrators to court, but more times then not they can prove nothing. Then the few women-haters that are actually proven go to jail for 6 months.A slap on the wrist before they are back in the world hating, beating, and raping. Most big time drug dealers are never found out. It's the same people that have always been suppressed in this country that have been punished. Punish for what? The woman and the smalltime dealers aren't allowed this. How can we live in this world with mandatory sentences for an ounce of cocaine and wishy-washy laws on child molestation, domestic abusers, or rapists? Our laws allow this.

EXCERPT FROM " CREATURES OF THE NIGHT" VOL.4 (HUNTIN' SEASON):
JUSTICE NEEDS TO BE SERVED,NON ARE EXCEMPT FROM THE RULES THAT GOVERN LIFE. BUT ONE MUST BE CAREFUL WITH JUSTICE, FOR THE LINE BETWEEN JUSTICE AND CRUELTY GROWS THINNER EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY. ONE'S DESCENDANTS NEED NOT SUFFER FOR THE FOOLHARDY ACTS OF THEIR ANCESTOR. BLAME CANNOT BE SET UPON A COLLECTIVE GROUP. YAH, IT CAN ONLY BE PLACED UPON AN INDIVIDUAL. SOME CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS, OFTEN FROM MISGUIDENCE OR IGNORANCE. THEY IGNORE THAT, THOUGH ONE MAY BELONG TO A GROUP THAT IS KNOWN FOR LESS THAN HONORABLE ACTS, ONE MAY, IN AND OF ONESELF, BE TRULY RIGHTEOUS AND FORTHCOMING. GUILTY OF NO WRONG, THEY ARE TRIED AND FOUND GUILTY MERELY BY ASSOCIATION WITH A GROUP. EVEN IF THE GROUP IN NOT A SOCIAL CLASS, BUT A RACE OF PEOPLE, DIFFERENT FROM US, AND HENCE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS...

-SHANE B. WOODIS

Julie's Rant II:
        I am a mediator for the universe. So are you. it's a choice of being part of the mainstream or being part of the run-off. I am not talking about shopping at  The Gap. I'm talking about the universe-- one song unites us all. The Gap employs 11 year-old girls at 8 cents/hour. she is our sister and we are enslaving her. You are her sister and she cries every night because she knows the song and we struggle to feel the beat because we are hurting--hurting our family. (But my hot pink capri's are sooo cute!) Come in to TeaZe where you can hear the song (Cool Music) and support the local business (Cool Cloths).
