It's getting kinda muggy in here...


I know you want this mug! How can I be so sure? Well, I want this mug, and since we think alike, it's only logical that you would also want this mug.
"Coffee should be
black as love,
strong as hell,
& sweet as death."
-Hunter Burgan

So go get this mug! Mother's Day is coming up!

P.S. The next vlog is coming verrrrrrrrry soon.

I bet a lot of people will buy this, which is awesome for you, but kind of sad for humanity. You're lucky I'm moving out of my parents house in the fall and its time for me to get my own mug

Aww, I find it cute :]

<3

Anna said...

That's awesome. I don't even drink coffee, but the quote makes me laugh.

Christy said...

I do want that mug. My mother would not. I obviously need a new mother.

Katie said...

Hmmm... Hunter it seems you're using my tweet that said I planed to buy this for my mom for Mother's Day as a marketing tool. 10% of profits please!?!?!
Haha. It's cool keep the 10% and we'll be even for supplying me with the most amazing music for so long.

I already said I want this mug, but I'll say it again. I WANT THIS GODDAMN MUG. Seriously, and I don't even drink coffee.

I wish I knew who this "Anonymous" person was. He/she can be jerk sometimes, and yet other times be so sweet! ;)

Since I made this mug on cafepress.com, THEY make most of the money from the sales. I make $4. Then they charge me to collect my earnings! It's really not about the money...it's about the mug! I totally will donate 100% of the profits from this mug to my coffee fund. I will need to sell an average of two mugs per day to cover my coffee costs. Since I really don't see that happening (I've only sold one mug so far [thanks Benjamin!]) I guess I'm going to have to create other mugs and things.

Does anyone want other mugs and things??
Tell me what you want and I'll make it!

Sally said...

Hahhaha I want that mug! It would be my favourite, love it! ;)

Much love. Sally, Sweden

um... i actually can't stand coffee. it tastes nasty and bitter to me.

is tea or hot chocolate acceptable instead? :)

chaoskitten said...

you should make hats! :)

Benjamin said...

No problem Hunter, whatever I can do to support the cause, whatever that may be

When using two brackets, shouldn't the inner pair be ( ) and the outer pair [ ] :D Ok, now to the point..

Although I'm not a coffee drinker, I like the quote very much! But I'm not sure I like the font.. I'd like it to be...more stylish? Sorry :/

"Does anyone want other mugs and things?? Tell me what you want and I'll make it!"

- Yes. I want a mug with a crazy plumbing picture all over it. THAT's stylish.

- Ok, seriously. I'd totally buy something more personal / useful / entertaining stuff from you. Eg. a vegan cook book with a touch of humour and a lot of pics.

- The best way to pay your coffee would be selling/auctioning some cool, unique stuff of yours. Like a timeless, limited edition print of Hunter. It could be a really artistic, black & white shot (16 x 20) of you playing bass on stage/at studio, signed and framed. You could set the price high from the start (because of the limited edition), or you could just auction them. If there were, let's say, only 10-20 copies, people would kill for those! I personally would love to have that kind of a beautiful framed print hanging on my living room wall. Think about it.. :)

Make a t-shirt of your favorite quotes. I'd totally buy that. Hell, I'd help you make them. :D

That quote/ mug makes me drink coffee.

havokisthecure said...

I said this before on twitter but my grandma makes a coffee JUST like that, so , if u come to my country LET ME KNOW !! haha XD

Katie said...

You should make shirts with a Tranquil Mammoth logo on them.
Also I've been needing a cool messenger bag and a Tranquil Mammoth one would totally rock. Hah.
Quotes are always cool on stuff (like your mug). I'm a big fan of a good quote. More mugs would be cool.
I don't know why this Anonymous dude is always tripping.... it's not like you do this stuff for yourself...

Hanami said...

That mug totally made my day. I was so happy about my purchase... then I read the comment: "I bet a lot of people will buy this, which is awesome for you, but kind of sad for humanity." which caused me to scratch my head for a moment and wonder whether I'm dumb or not. Oh well, I still think the mug is badass.

LetsTalkTreason said...

I love this mug, and I love the quote. I want this, but more than that I NEED this.

MJ said...

I'm getting myself the mug so I can pretend I'm a mother for mother's day.


.... What? It'd be weird if my mom and I had the same mug! We'd have to put name tags on them.

Unknown said...

Oh whoa, yeah, I totally want this mug. I would ALSO totally buy a plumgician shirt...mayhaps you as a magician with a wrench as your wand?

That would be incredible. Either that or since everyone's trying to find a way to capitalize on Obama it could be this kick ass jam session with you on bass and Obama playing drums off to the side...on a cliff overlooking the grand canyon. Just a thought.

Tranquil Mammoth shirts would be the bomb.

I ♥ that mug, but I never buy things of the internet...

Philip Zimbardo said...

I would use this mug to drink cream soda.

And maybe fine wine. If I liked alcohol. The mug is that classy.

L.C. said...

you should definitely do other mugs and things, I may partake in a mug as i drink way too much coffee than I'd like to admit. Maybe you should have a 7 day mug scheme, a different mug for each day... hell yes.

Unknown said...

haha I love it! Unfortunately, my dear mother wouldn't.
and to top it off, she drinks hers with more milk than coffee... I am definitely over-thinking this.

L.C. said...

"Oh my god... I've been mugged by Hunter!"

You should put that money towards a tasty treat.

Anonymous said...

dude, you totally ganked that quote! It was said by some turkish dude way back when.

Shy Girls Win said...

Hunter Hunter Hunter!!! I want that mug! See here's the good and bad: Good: Hunter has made a mug. Bad: I ran out of money (guitar, Crash Love necklace soon to be ordering, more AFI stuff of AFI site. Good: We have mugs to drink from too. Bad: They are not awesome (except the ones with the faces)and do not have your signature or anyone's of AFI and I wouln't be able to drink from it because it's MY mug and OTHER people will use it.


I'll find a way.

Yay, can't wait until I order the Crash Love necklace (just like from the video Medicate!)It'll be probably the best 35$ I will have ever spent. The panda hat comes second- did you see me in RI, the girl with the panda hat????????

You guys were awesome in concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and anonymous person, you are stupid and you need to stop being so critical. Why don't YOU try to make your own album!!!!!

<3 Panda Jade

Shy Girls Win said...

I like to post. I decided to make a new one because that one will be too long. How about you make a whole room theme of Hunter Revenge and AFI! LOL, jk but I would buy that....slowly. No but seriously, you should make a t-shirt with the words 'Hunter Revenge' all over it!

emma_revenge said...

Actually, the Turkish proverb is "coffee should be black as hell strong as death and sweet as love". Hunter made love black, hell strong and death sweet... sounds much cooler.
