Summer Project: How I Met Your Mother Fan Group

A few weeks ago the lovely Juna contacted me from Detour Designs. They have a few fantastic HIMYM shirts (pictured above) all of which I highly recommend you go buy immediately.
The banner in the sidebar points to this store as well.
What’s the point of having legendary HIMYM gear if no one sees you sporting it though? That’s why I created the How I Met Your Mother Fan Group on Flickr as a place for fans to show their support for the show. Upload pics of you and your friends wearing HIMYM gear, throwing HIMYM DVD parties, anything to show support.
Once we hit critical mass, I’ll do my best to make sure the people behind the show are made aware of the group so they see how much we all appreciate what they do and how much we love the show.
Need ideas? Try these:
- Come up with new and unique “fives”. Barney invented the “phone five” and “freeze frame five”, what else can we think up? Take a picture or video of your best “five” and post it to the group.
- Take a picture of you wearing HIMYM gear. If you don’t want to buy something, make your own!
- Recreate your favorite scene. Get some friends together and recreate a scene from the show. Upload the video and post it to the group.
- Suit up! Throw on an “outlaw” shirt, a striped polo, some leather boots—any of the cast’s trademark gear.
- Throw a HIMYM party. Have a few friends that aren’t into the show? Have them over for a DVD party where you watch a few episodes. Document the evening and share it with the group.
Any other ideas you have, I’d love to hear them. Tell your friends too! Let’s make this group huge.

“The Todd” from The Scrubs is an endless inspiration for fives. You should check some of his quotes for inspiration

Tell the lovely Juna to lower the prices of a black t-shirt and then maybe I’ll consider buying a few shirts from that site
