Just finished Chris Stuckmann’s review, and he was absolutely raving about it. I’m hyped. I was supposed to work with Chris Stuckmann on the promotion of his upcoming movie but something happened and the producers went in another direction for the moment. Hopefully im back in the fold for the actual movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he’s made some shorts in the past, but it’s cool he’s finally getting a chance to do a feature length. I hope they end up coming back to you.

mfitz804 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I started thinking about a totally unintentionally funny show I watched as a kid: Alien Nation. So I’m streaming it and it’s still as bad as it was . But, TVs have greatly improved, and it looks absolutely ridiculous, the aliens are so cheesy, and it’s so poorly shot. I’m laughing even harder this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bast part is that the picture is so clear and the whole thing just looks like it was shot on someone’s camcorder. Some of this stuff IS supposed to be funny. Don’t know why it popped into my head, but it did and I’m committed to watching the full run of 22 episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
point Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Not that I am expecting any sympathy, but my wife and I are nearing the end of a totally disastrous Georgetown mens' BB season. I talked to a guy who broadcasts college basketball today and apparently Ewing is as distraught about the results this season as Hoya fans. Regarding the recruits who have transferred to other programs, the consensus is that Ewing expects his players to work as hard as John Thompson did his players; and players today don't have that kind of work ethic. It's been a sad season for Hoya fans. Please don't throw that criminals play for GU at me. Tell me about players' lives after they played at XYZ program and not before. What did XYZ program for them??8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Think I’m about done with EPS. They’ve had my Hall jersey that I sent in to get stripped and redone since September. Slow is one thing, but it’s ridiculous at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve had my Hall jersey that I sent in to get stripped and redone since September. Slow is one thing, but it’s ridiculous at this point. When I used to send in jerseys to them (it's been about 4 years since the last one), the average turn around time was between 4-12 weeks. At one point they did have a jersey of mine that took 5 months but that was the longest for me personally. In reading in some jersey hobby groups/forums, it looks like EPS has gotten worse with their public orders lately as they have increased the amount of professional customers (they are now doing something like 6-7 NHL teams, including the Rangers which they got this year as well as the other sports) and due to the pandemic have had trouble getting employees to scale up their business. I am hearing of turnaround times of 8-11 months now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they used to or still complain to people privately when they get those massive shipments from collectors to get the group discount? I see it on reddit/discord where they pool the jerseys and their money together and send like 30-50 at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager there used to tell me years ago that the public orders were to keep their seamstresses busy in between stitching "seasons." That was years ago when they had fewer teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing much collectors can do. Most customizers do crappy and/or inaccurate jobs and EPS is one of the very few left that do overall great work. There is Keener in Canada, but 1) It's a pain to ship across the border for US collectors and 2) He has been getting slammed with orders over the past 1-2 years to where he has temporarily stopped taking orders several times. If you have an Adidas Devils jersey you could technically work with a Flyers Skate Zone who would send it to PX who are the current official customizers of the team. Problem is that they are pretty sloppy with their work, even on the gamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 There’s no question that EPS does a great job. I was always willing to wait for it. If they told me 8 months, I probably would consider going elsewhere. But the ones I have there are already there, can’t do anything but wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

point Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) There is a dirth of unskilled labor. And skilled labor....well, CDL drivers can pretty much name their price, and seamstresses? Well, you just can't find them. You wanna buy a commercial vehicle? Put down a deposit and get in line. Heavy vehicles have an 18 month waiting line, if you are very lucky. Labor issues, supply chain issues, are tying up the economy MASSIVELY. Welcome to the post pandemic world. If those jerseys come back in under a year consider yourselves blessed.
