Where to buy VH stuff in K.C.

**lawchick** · 12.17.01, 07:39 AM

I just bought a Balance T-shirt ($18.99) and a red embroidered VH logo patch ($3.99) at a store in Kansas City called Xanadu. All they sell is hard rock and metal T-shrits, posters and memorabilia. They also had a VH logo cap and some small Dave-era buttons ($1.95).

Anyway, worth a trip for stocking stuffers.

(Xanadu is in a strip mall at 95th & Metcalf near Houston's, for any local folks who are interested.) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Awwwww...lawchick. You shouldn't have... [img]smile.gif[/img]

But I'm glad you did anyway!! Did you remember my t-shirt size is XL??

Just kidding...

Sounds like a cool stop. Next time I'm in KC, I know where I'm going. Do they have a website? I'd love to pick up a VH cap...

Dude, you can always try:

http://www.vanhalenstore.com

I received an email last night from Jeff, the owner, and he assured me that amidst the lawsuit from Dave that's pending, everything on that site is still for sale with no problems whatsoever.

Good luck! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

No problems? How about this $50 Van Halen 1 shirt

Awesome! I'm getting myself a Christmas present from Xanadu's online store. They have the Balance shirt I don't have! Too cool.

You're welcome for the tip, and thanks to Yerfdog for the link. Xanadu's prices are a bit better than the Van Halen Store. I also bought a Back in Black t-shirt from the shop. It is just filled with racks of t-shirts in alphabetical order by artist. Merry Christmas!

To be honest, I hadn't visited vanhalenstore.com for a while until after you posted about the high price on one of the shirts. When I saw that, I was like

!!!!!

It doesn't take a college education to guess that those "rare" and "soon-to-be out of print" shirts have jacked up prices because Jeff needs money for the pending lawsuit.
