The name...

So I guess I should give an explanation of where the name "Bristol" came from.  Last year I made a neck-warmer.  Why?  Because my neck was cold when I was snowboarding.  It had this fake leather outer, with this fake fur lining.  Basically this neck-warmer was pretty sweet.  My fellow instructors wanted some, so i made a grand total of four.  This took way too long because I was doing all the sewing by hand.  On top of the time, it looked like I had a blood glucose problem because of all the times I had sent the needle deep into my thumb.  I decided to stop making them, but not before one of my buddies forced me to come up with a name and design a logo.  The name came from a family history of fishing our of Bristol Bay up in Alaska.  It flowed off my tongue pretty well and I thought the logo I designed looked pretty cool.  It probably seems pretty childish to throw a logo like that on a blog, but hell, I think we could all embrace our inner child a little more these days.
