Will t-shirts be available? Of course!
What better time to buy a t-shirt than mid-December? 100% extra-soft cotton, available in M, L, and XL, although we're told they run a little small. We’ll be hawking them at the Brattle on December 12 only for $10 each (Venmo or cash).

Do you have a memory or image of an Off the Wall experience that you’d like to share on this site? Send it along! We’ll be delighted to hear from you. Don’t forget to include a name (or alias) for attribution.
