  1. kunk did you end up getting the augustas/how much? the sz 10 augustas i saw had narrow toes. there were some black raf by raf rain jackets and a nice navy raf mainline tech jacket with the elastic drawstring ribbing. it was out of my budget though

    Answer your fucking PMs

  2. Isn't it 90212 or 90210 for Pharcis in the hood? Anyways, SM sucks as I spent most of my high school life there and have to agree with England that the more exciting places would be in W.Hollywood for sure.

    +1 on Bar Lubitsch + Cobras & Matadors.

    90210, 90211, 90212 and 90048 are all adjoining zips. Lots of Persians all around here.

  3. honestly, you can find a les paul studio, which are pretty sturdy in my opinion, for relatively cheap on ebay. like $400 for a decent condition model. you could probably do both if you are willing to drop the money on a gibson then just work your ass off for a little longer to get the motorcycle. either way, its a good investment on both items.

    It might just be me, but I don't really like the feel of the Studios.

    I could definitely buy both right now; unfortunately it's not the money as much as justifying it to the wife. Savor your time alone. :D

  4. England, I didn't know you played? What's your set up?

    Pretty much nothing at the moment.

    I was in a band in high school and played a borrowed Les Paul Custom as well as a cheap Fender Standard Strat off and on through college. About a year ago I bought a decent Ibanez acoustic, started taking lessons again and am feeling pretty good with my playing, so I'm looking to invest in a nice electric in the near future.

    Problem is that I'm torn between buying a new guitar vs. a vintage motorcycle.

    Fuck.

  5. Finally got my Les Paul Custom

    And waiting on a Jackson RR24.

    I'm looking now at getting an amp, and I'm tossing up between the Peavey 6505+ head with the 6505 box, or a Dual Rectifier with the Recto cab.

    Anyone here fucked with them?

    Also, are ENGL or VHT amps anygood?

    Very nice. I've been holding back, but I'm pretty set on purchasing a Les Paul 'Traditional'.......Seems to be a solid medium between the Studio and Custom.

  6. I don't really feel inspired so far.

    where did you get your inspiration?

    I just thought of everything I wouldn't buy if I visited and California, bought those things and will be sending them to a lucky SFer.

    Speaking of which.

    NOT MUCH TIME LEFT

    Get your shit together people :D

  7. There is not a single noteworthy bar in Beverly Hills, nor is there one you can kick back in a t-shirt.

    Santa Monica is more relaxed but it is full of tourists and severely lacking in terms of bars/restaurants. The only place I enjoy in SM is the King's Head, and that's only because it's a decent place to get a pint, eat some fish and chips, and watch a rugby/soccer match. Shopping is mediocre. Fred Segal is occassionally worth visiting, but all of the other stores in the area are chains like Club Monaco, Zara, etc.

    If you are going to be working in downtown / W. Hollywood, I would strongly suggest staying in West Hollywood again, or if you are set on seeing more of the city, downtown. I can guarantee you that if you spent 24 hrs around W. Hollywood last time, you probably saw less than 1% of what it has to offer.

    Some decent places off the top of my head.............

    Bars:

    Jones

    The Third Stop

    Bar Lubitsch

    Bar Marmont

    Restaurants:

    Farmer's Market

    Cobras & Matadors

    Dan Tana's

    Shopping:

    Maxfield

    Opening Ceremony

    APC

    Helmut Lang

    Marc Jacobs

    Steven Alan

    Scout

    South Willard

    Agnes B

    Fred Segal

    Of course, downtown has a load of great places too........

  8. we're taking pictures when we receive the item(s) right?

    i thought i read that we would take pictures before we sent our shit and that would just make no sense... but i hope i'm wrong.

    Yeah. You take pictures when you RECEIVE your items.

    Apologies for the confusion.

    Also, I probably need to take Phrost off the list in a day or so. Dude is on SUFU everyday and refuses to answer PMs. Not sure if he's just lazy or doesn't want to participate any more, but if you aren't on the list and want to participate and take his place just respond to this post (first person to gets it). Keep in mind that you'll only have to the 31st to get your shit together though.

    This is only if he doesn't respond very soon, of course.

  9. can somebody remind me the rule of dis international gay cum swap?

    when do we send our shit by?

    i forgot to send my shit

    sorry to whoever

    package will go out monday

    kthx

    Yes. Listen to Eccles goddamnit.

    Don't send out until September 1st. Read your PMs

  10. Bummed I missed the chance to meetup with Kunk/Darkanimal/OMC, but I had a fucking early as shit flight the next morning.

    Did get to hang at a bar with Polishmike for an hour or so, but I'm not sure if he has any recollection of that, ha hah. Good to meet you dude.

    I shall be back.

    :P

  11. i have these stickers from my fridge of different types of marine life

    and theres this one of this fish and it says 'juvenile koran angel' which i read as juvenile korean angel and i thought it was some engrish translation

    but today i found out its the actual name of the fish

    koranjuv.jpg

    Why haven't there been mass riots in Pakistan over this yet?

    I foresee the burning of many blue fish effigies in the very near future.

  12. somehow people here glorify fast food as something trendy and represents wealth. what's sad is that stuff like mcdonalds, kfc, el pollo locco, wendy's, chilli's, starbucks and other chained american restaurants get placed in good shopping malls. i love fast food but only when im really starving or drunk or in need of food really fast.

    Ha hah. I worked in the Menara Citibank building for several months and the two places you COULD NOT get into around lunch time were A&W, and KFC. They love that shit.

  13. GARMIN NUVI 200.

    Will run you about 150 Euro.

    I've had mine for over a year and have used it all over Europe, Canada, Mexico and the US. Never have had a single issue with it. They're pretty amazing. Plus, you can search for a Mexican restaurant or the closest ATM whether you're in Prague or Plano.

    Get that shit.
