The 33-year-old writer and public relations representative of Augsburg College was driving through Fridley last summer. Typically, he was talking to himself,turning words over in his head, toying with sentences. "It had been a bad day," Tilleraas j said. He started to mumble to himself "Thank God it's Friday," but some- thing else popped into his head: "Thank God it's Fridley." He mentioned the phrase to friends and colleagues,and found that it turned heads. "People liked it. I thought it was -r a clever idea--that I might be able to do •.. something with it," he said. "Thank God it's Fridley"has become a sideline business for Tilleraas. He is marketing the slogan on sweatshirts, _ ' * T-shirts, jerseys and bumperstickers. r�L Soon, he plans to sell TGIF caps, jackets, key chains,cups,possibly head- ,, bands -- anything that can carry the slogan and be sold.
