Headquarters East Psychedelic Shop, 1967.
Art by Priscilla Amee Kerry.
The Psychedelic Shop on Haight Street in San Francisco opened January 3, 1966 under Army veteran Ron Thelin and his younger brother Jay, and was arguably the first such establishment in the United States; this was an East coast spin off.

It's not just merchandise roundup day: it's also my birthday! ✨🎄 Yep, I was born on Christmas Eve. Everyone I know is afraid of aging, but I couldn't wait to turn 30 last year. 31 isn't too bad, either. I don't see myself as old, but does my age make me a fandom elder? 🤔
Anyway, much as it pains me to say this, the Rue 21 near my place is still closing. I went inside for what's probably the last roundup in that store. I didn't expect to find anything, but they had one new item: a pair of boxers that are entirely black except for a picture of Rick and Morty screaming on the waistband.
I hope the location in the mall doesn't close, but that particular mall is hanging on by a thread. Most of the stores are just empty space. The other Rue 21 locations are almost an hour away!
I also stopped by one of the local head shops. I've posted pictures of it before, but I had to share this plumbus pipe again because it's so well-crafted. (The colors come from the backlighting.)
No weird clip art with Rick as Pennywise or Mr. Jellybean creeping on Morty: just a well-made piece of glass.
These pictures aren't the greatest, but they also had new backpacks. I love the vibrant colors.
I tried to find pictures online. All I could find from the Dabtized brand was this Alice in Wonderland backpack. I've actually seen those illustrations in another head shop (probably ripped off from Dabtized, if Dabtized is even the original owner.)
Mad Hatter Rick is a good look for him.
Five Below had new winter-themed socks and a poster set. Honestly, I don't see the appeal of merchandise where the characters look scared or pissed off?
Off to the thrift store. The shelves were pretty sparse, but I love these Mr. Sparkle boxers. That's one of my favorite Simpsons B-plots. I actually thought it was the main plot when I was a child, probably because it was so weird and entertaining.
Snowflake boxers!
Another gift set, this time featuring a mug, socks and key chain.
I had extra time, so I browsed the graphic tees. This one was so big that I had to step back to get the whole illustration in frame:
And finally: this one cracked me up. Are you naughty like Toxic Rick or nice like "Healthy" Rick?
"Healthy" Rick was cold and uncaring toward Morty. A better comparison would be Rickbot and disheveled Rick searching for Prime in his hideout. Rickbot was an angel!
Today, I wondered if I saw Rick and Morty merchandise when I worked in a department store in 2015. That's when the series really blew up. I don't remember anything, but I also didn't watch the show until 2019, so I wasn't looking for it. Maybe Rick was shilling sneakers alongside Kim Kardashian perfumes.
And if he wasn't, he's got a pretty good gig endorsing fast food on the show. Who wants Denny's? 🥞

Bdubs inflicting and fueling a server wide gambling addiction is my favorite thing to come out of season 9.
I can’t wait for the season to end and for someone to make some mega comp vid of everyone just gambling away all their diamonds.

An online smoke shop is a marketplace where smokers can find all of their smoking essentials. These smoke shops have various products, accessories, and essentials that a smoker could need under one roof.

· Product Variety- Matters because it determines the choices you have while visiting the online smoke shop.
· Customer Feedback- A good smokes shop should have positive feedback from customers, which shows that they are a reliable and reputable name in the industry.

The mall closest to my place is still dying a slow death. When I visited yesterday, two more stores had closed--and they were major chains, not local retailers. Maybe Spencer's is single-handedly keeping this place alive.
Rue 21 had one new item: a single pair of sweatpants alone on a shelf.
One of the "nerdy" stores had a dice set featuring everyone's favorite pickle.
Spencer's had a single new mug. Now you can drink out of Rick's head!
The manager mentioned to me that new merchandise (in general, not specifically RM) was coming after they completed inventory on the 31st, so that might explain the lack of new products post-holiday season. We're also not getting season eight until next year, but that probably won't stop Adult Swim's marketing team.
Today, I decided to visit chain stores in an area that I don't normally visit. I walked into Five Below to see this near the doorway:
I've seen the monthly illustrations on another calendar, but that cover is new. And shiny ✨
Need a place to store your loose AirPods? Try this fashionable Rick and Morty case featuring Rick's boyish grin.
Time for a new store that I'd never visited, at least in adulthood: T. J. Maxx. I saw this hoodie ages ago in Journey's. Now it's back, in thrift store form! One of my favorite designs. 🌈
A visit from the Portal Boyz! Technically, Nick and Morty were the Portal Boyz, but I guess nobody wants Nick merchandise.
Afterward, I went to Target for the first time in a while. They had the Rick and Morty manga in stock. I actually didn't know it was a graphic novel--I thought it was just another issue of the comics.
Weirdly, they also had a shirt that Journey's used to carry. Pretty unusual for me to see the same item in two separate chains. Anyway, I guess nobody's tired of wearing a shirt that says, "I am in great pain, please help me."
Serendipitously, I spotted this on a car when I left. Fuck me for not buying anything, I guess.
One last stop: the nearby head shop. I have no idea what these things are, but Rick's trying out some new looks.
Roll some grass on this vinyl rolling tray.
Evil Morty finally gets his own pipe!
While you're at it, stock up on Rick and Morty vapes.
He's a happy Homer!
And they had no shortage of bootleg shirts and hoodies.
No season eight merchandising blitz this year, but smoke shops are always on it. It's never the wrong time to buy a T-shirt of Morty Smith getting blasted!

Watching the Scar B-day stream on his VOD channel and Scar has his shaders on and was talking to Bdubs and made a comment about how the giant Bdubs head sign on his shop “Looks worse with shaders on” with Bdubs replying “Yeah you should see it at 4 in the morning”.
And now all I can think about is like the level of lighting technique in art that you see in all those really well done cyber punk pictures with the fluorescent neon lights and all that. But with the Bdubs head.
So that’s what’s been making me laugh for the last 10 minutes

The Main Street Head Shop Has Closed Now, After Facing Eviction
We got a text this morning telling us that the Main Street Head Shop on Roosevelt Island had closed. “For real?” we asked. “Come up and take a look…” We did. Here’s what we found.

The Roosevelt Island Daily News
It looked like a hasty retreat. After I finished taking these photos, a friend came along. He said he’d happened by the place last night at around 8:00. It was already…
