What’s the day that is the most highly anticipated of this holiday season for us here at YBP? It’s not Christmas, Sloppy Joe day at the caf, or even the day we step on the scale and realize just how much weight we have put on over this break…no it’s the arrival of a new YBP design. I can feel the stillness in the air, the anticipation that is boiling over, the goosebumps on your skin; you’re all asking who? However, your eyes have probably drifted below and seen the answer, but for those of you who didn’t cheat…it’s THE SHINS. We’re incredibly excited to add the Shins to the YBP family. Follow the YBP prescriptions and have yourself an amazing holiday season, good luck with your respective families, and have a great new year.
A big YBP thanks goes out to Allison and the kind folks at Weber Shandwick, for generously purchasing a dozen Rilo Kiley tees to support Free Arts for Abused Children. They uploaded this cool photograph into our photo gallery, and if you look closely you can see that one of these t-shirts has been signed by every member of the band!
Throughout the year we have had the generous support of several popular YouTube personalities. You can click on the links below to view some of their guitar lessons, performances, and video blogs, all whilst aiding YBP.

Guitar aficionado, and cover artist ‘Jeff Kim’ was kind enough to create a splash intro for YouTube users. You can download it here, throw it into your windows movie maker mix, and help us spread our message!
1. Celebrate it a little different or maybe even on the wrong night! You’ll cleverly avoid the crowds, but may end up solo in the bar…but hey no one ever likes rubbing up against sweaty strangers!
2. Keep on checking http://www.yellowbirdproject.com for new artists, designs, and cool things that consistently pop into our brains.
3. Easy on the sweets. I mean enjoy by all means, but even though the elephant population is dwindling…don’t think that with on par weight you will be counted as one of their species.
4. Support YBP in any way you know how. Download our posters and plaster them on legal surfaces. Tell your friends that are into indie music, and especially tell your friends that SHOULD be into indie music, about this project!
5. Make a new years resolution and hold to it. Don’t make it too life shattering, but something you can stick to…mine will go something like this, “Limit my viewing of mtv reality shows to 2 hours a week. Don’t talk on my cell phone while cruising in my auto. And finally, try to add YBP into as many sentences in my vocab as possible…I will be the Meow Super Trooper of YBP.
6. Shoveling snow can be dangerous. Get someone else to do it. Or move to a warmer climate.
7. Speaking of warmer climates, take care of the environment. Recycle, reduce your consumption, and put pressure on your politicians to take action and stop acting like that one kid in kindergarten who won’t share his toys.
8. Go to www.yellowbirdproject.com and purchase the new insanely detailed and awe inspiring Shins tee shirt. We hope you enjoy!
