Blah, i'd say, just hit up robertson and then melrose around the whole

maxfield, fred segal area.

It ain't that far a drive from the beverly center. Not even 10 minutes.

Do you mean "base station? If so, it's right on meiji street near the condom shop

and right next to a Japanese burger joint called Lotteria.

If you were talking about the figure brand "secret base," then I appologize.

Judging from the places where you've been to,

fiberops, doarat, soph., atmos, and milkboy should be to you liking.

All those can't be too hard to find. There should be a free flyer that

has a map of the whole harajuku area with each shop written on in it somewhere

around harajuku if your ever in doubt. If you can't find that, you can always

buy a japanese fashion magazine with something similar on it. They always

come in handy.

Quote: what makes it so great? bxh is cool, but the rest can be found in la.

Well, considering up until a couple years ago, there really wasn't much

shopping to be done in SD and people had to drive all the way to LA to buy those things,

a shop like the commissary opening up is quite big. Just like the way that blends

opening up saved a shit load of gas money for sneaker heads in SD, commissary

is doing the same for heads that crave stussy, supreme, bxh, i:m, etc etc...

The brands may not be everybodies cup o tea but for those who dig that shit, it's

quite revolutional.

From my stand point, having a union-esque landing point in SD for brands and artists

from accross the world to land is what makes this place appealing. Since I don't personally

know Andrew Lee or anyone from I:M, I can only make assumptions but it would probably

be wise to guess that BxH decided to drop their stuff in SD from the connections that

I:M made through their urahara store. Because commissary has the potential to introduce

dope shit through their dope pipelines, international or interstate, is what makes this

place great. I:M gear ain't too shabby too.

Then again, I haven't been there yet so I could be completely off...

Fuck, i just typed an essay... Kick me in the solar plexus, now..

Quote: stocking: Supreme, Stussy, Vans, Bounty Hunter, I:M,...

is what bobbyhundreds is sayin. I havent' been there yet since I had

to move to riverside right before the tape was cut for this place. From what

I heard though, bobby is right on the mark. I think there are a couple of

dark pics of the store on the hundreds page.

Man, do I miss SD. Ain't nothin poppin in the inland empire...

formerly daggersprawn

It's where mathlab used to be and also right next to

where igloo and unun used to be. The "cursed" spot if you will..

If you know where re:up is, it's on the same block, just on the

opposite side.

For the right kinda cash, my friend

If not, I'd say babelfish too. I do have to warn you,

however, that the translation is 80% erronious.

There is a place called the Bay Side Marina in Yokohama.

The station that you get off at is Torihama.

It's near Fujisawa and if I remember correctly, I think

you get on the Seaside line from Shin-Sugita near Fujisawa.

They have a SHIPS, UNITER ARROWS, nike, Xlarge/Xgirl, Pinky & Diane

Edwin, Bobson, Levis, etc etc.. you get the picture. For a list of the stores

that are there, check out http://www.bayside-outlet.com/top_shoplist.html

if you can read Japanese.

formerly daggersprawn

chicken tatsuta sandwich!!!!

Tsukimi Burger!!!

Bacon Lettuce Burger!!!

At your ol' Japanese Mc D's if you please!

formerly daggersprawn

Yo EDWIN!! Wats poppin?

Is this going to be like a every Tuesday thing?

If it's open past 12:30, I may have to check this out.

BTW, did you get my email about that thingy

you asked about?

formerly daggersprawn

If I remember correctly, FAT is on the same path

as Fiberops and Vandalize. Once you find Fiberops, you really can't

miss it cuz it should be within a couple shops distance.

formerly daggersprawn

All the brands that you listed are going to cost you an arm and a leg.

If you don't mind buying used clothes, then I suggest going to heatwave

in harajuku for those brands. Check out http://www.heatwave.co.jp

for what they currently have.

FAT, BAPE and BXH all have their own shops in Harajuku. The NBHD store is

still at the same ol' location.

I really appreciate all the feedback that

everybody gave me. I've decided to go with either Skype

or voipbuster. I was considering the Yahoo BB internet phone

but isn't that based in Japan? I could be wrong though.

I guess I forgot to write where I am going to be calling from.

I'm currently in San Diego. For those who have used

either Skype or voipbuster, I was wondering if you were charged any surcharges

when purchasing the credits in euro?

formerly daggersprawn

Depends on what your lookin for.

Tell us the style of club and store that your

looking for and we'll go from there.

formerly daggersprawn

Hey, all.

My girlfriend recently moved back to where she was born, the land of the rising sun.

I was wondering if any of you could tell me how you people

communicate with people over seas. Long distance calls are surely

expensive and being a poor minimum wage worker, I just can't keep up with

the bills. I need your expertice in regards to calling cards and voice chating via MSNIM.

If there are any alternative methods to that, I would like to know of that too.

Any advice would be greatly appreicated.

Thanx, and I hope everybody has a great day!

Looks like your having fun in Tokyo. Flea markets in

Japan are the best!!!

Do you plan on curating any art shows in SD anymore?

formerly daggersprawn

An interesting read.

Whats this about another new shop popping up in San DIego?!?!

With unsteady opening soon and with this shop opening, I think

San Diego is officially on the map for alotta fashion gurus.

Fuck, and to think I'm leaving SD in a couple months...

Just when things were starting to get interesting...

Ahh, Akihabara.

Otaku palace.

That place scares the shit out of me sometimes.

You got these boyz n' girls in costumes, yakuza folk,

and the otakuboyz with their paper bags and long ass hair. The thing about

Akihabara is that if you're looking to buy some electronics,

then that would be the place to be. Recently, the price differencial

between Akihabara products and those sold at other cities

isn't all that different. The Akihabara shop keepers, though, seem

to be more willing to negociate with the prices.

Shibuya-ku isn't all that far from AKihabara.

I'd say, about alittle under thirty minutes on the

Yamanote line.

HEATWAVE

It's all over the Urahara district.

Check out http://www.heatwave.co.jp

for the gear that they carry.

formerly daggersprawn

I dunno if there are any kind of authentic "Ryokans"

in those areas. Ryokans tend to be in the more country

or less-metropolitan areas of Japan. For that reason, you'd prolly

have better luck finding a business hotel as there are shitloads

of those in the Shibuya, Shinjuku and Harajuku area.

formerly daggersprawn

If your in San Diego and interested in

Loomstate denim, check out Steady BTQ.

They'll take good care of ya!!

formerly daggersprawn

Love hotels is all I gotta say..

formerly daggersprawn

Go to Kamukura ramen on the Dotonbori area in Osaka.

Order the "Oishii Ramen" (it's really called that)

and you can't go wrong!!

Sorry, can't really help about the bars and clubs.

If you need info about Kanagawa or Tokyo, I may be of

some help.

formerly daggersprawn

If theres still time for me to throw in my

2 cents, I'd personally like to see more designs.

I don't have a problem with the designs that FRESH, wild wiskey

or anybody else has posted. I think their all fine and dandy.

Just not my cup of latte and besides, I'd like to see what bobbyhundreds

and the other "designers" on this board can churn up with enough time.

Can't we just extend the time limit to the end of May so that the

busy folk can have time to get their shit going?
