A few years ago, some guy in the advertising
industry woke up and said 'This cannot be life. We need more'. And alas wristbands
were born <Obviously this is my version of the events>.
Ugandans have not
looked back since.
Be it a product, campaign or trendy phrase, it must find its way onto a wristband
for people to truly know that it is the shiznits.
P.S: Did you know
that there are wristbands that are not made of rubber? Shocker, difficult to
tell when all one ever meets are rubber wristbands.
I can't say for sure how effective wristbands are, something to do with
pay grade and what not, but it's safe to say they are here to stay.
If I recall correctly, my first memory of wristbands is Moze Radio of the Radio
& Weasel fame, and it was always amusing that he had so many they actually went
all the way to his elbows or something like that.
Wristbands are pretty
cool but for the love of everything nice I do hope after this people will stop
calling them armbands (mweemanyi)
My wristband moment
happened a week or so ago when I chanced upon some Suprrrr amazing art that I started to stalk all the accounts affiliated
to it. I was so overwhelmed that I HAD to ask the owner whether I could write
stuff with his art, and he said ‘Cool’, just like that. Definitely highlight of
this month!!
Andres’ work is great
and the diversity totally does things to me. So basically I am very excited
about this. I think it's definitely going to be A LOT of fun.
Here’s to new beginnings
