This looks awesome. Good work homies!

CV likes to hang things from the ceiling

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Not sure what the purpose of this is, but now we have an upside down palm tree with a face and everything!

Why not right? We had to do something cool with it….

What’s BustedTees?  This is an old video we shot the summer of 2007 explaining the history of BustedTees.

I just rediscovered this video from a few summers ago where we all look like we are 12 and have much shorter haircuts.

Nice throwback. They made this not to long after I started working at CH and I thought it kind of weird at the time why they wanted to film me saying just one word.

dougruocco:

This is great.

My head just exploded.

CollegeHumor all hands meeting

Trying to jam CH and BT into the conference room used to be way easier.
