I have always thought great things about the city of New Orleans. What's not to love about the birthplace of jazz? I also loved "Interview With a Vampire." Granted, I've never been there, but that's because it looks too hot and sticky, and not in a good way. Plus, my wife won't let me go to Mardi Gras.

That said, the weather apparently makes for a thriving t-shirt market and the guys at Dirty Coast are printing a pretty strong impression upon it. Their shirts convey a sense of history, humor, and politics that will be instantly recognizable to the locals and a great conversation starter for those of us that aren't (some research may be required). They make every shirt to order on American Apparel and use only lead-free ink, which is nice, but I still wouldn't eat them.

Well, maybe the donut one.
