Just got a waxed Barbour International jacket, still had some of the tags in one of the pockets...eat your heart out...at the thrift store. I am not even going to say what I paid but it was absolutely disgusting. I got one at the same place a few years back called "the Beaufort" or something like that and I sold it, hated myself for selling it every since. NOW I feel redeemed. Only in a town like Denton, Texas would you find a thrift store that does not know what a new Barbour coat is worth. Some of the people working there could get their missing teeth replaced for what this jacket cost new. I will be needing it considering my new living arrangement. I actually have seen stuff in there that I did not want or could fit into and have told people working there they should buy it and sell it on ebay, they just look at me like I am crazy. The Beaufort jacket I sold I bought for 12 bucks and sold on ebay for like $200. I sometimes feel bad because the people working there just look so very beaten down.

Again, I like this. Cool background as well. The shoes look like boots, but not. Perfect.

There are loads of cheap apartments/room you can pay by the month. Rent one for 2 months, loose a week; problem solved. Check your local free papers aimed at young turks. Hang in there, your avatar rocks!!

I have been checking them out, thanks for the advice. Most of the local one's I have checked are pretty much like hotels/extended stay suites and run 45-65 bucks per night and I just don't want to blow that much right now because I don't have a job lined up in Florida yet and I will need my savings, but I maybe can swing something.

damn, you can move in with me, it's still 70 miles away though, haha!

That's sweet! Thanks, I'll figure something out. I actually like camping alot so I will do quite a bit of that.I am more comfortable outdoors than indoors anyway. My car is actually pretty comfortable so I think I will manage. I have friends I could stay with but I just don't like imposing myself, the thought of it just gives me the creeps.

Dont take this advice lightly if you plan to hit front row for the headline, I put down +15 water bottles throughout the day, but perspired so much I never had to go to the bathroom once from it. Strongly suggest you buy a hydration pack and just fill it with ice so it'll gradually melt and you'll have cold water. I'm aware that the rules say they're not allowed, but took a chance with it in '05, and security let me in with it anyway.

Camelbaks do the trick. I got mine on ebay new for around $40, instead of paying the $120+ retail.

Some of the best advice I have ever heard on this forum. I went to the Crossroads festival in the cotton bowl and watched people suffer like bastards from dehydration in 100+ heat.

Absolutely Fierce!!!

Shit man, thats rough. Get a tent mate, go camping for 7 weeks...catch fish and eat em.

Hang in the Diamonds buddy, chicks eh?

Thought about that and I will be doing some camping on the weekends ( I do alot of that anyway), but the closest campsite in the Metroplex (where I work is freaking 70 miles away). There is one in Lewisville but it is almost as expensive as a hotel room.

I was rather dissapointed with the story. It was one movie I actually left wishing there was more to watch as I felt the ending was incomplete.

The cinematography was amazing though. The scenes towards the end of the film were like nothing I have seen before. It totally engrossed you into the scene and made what would have been just an action scene, a very suspensful action scene.

My problem with the movie though.....PICK UP A F*CKING GUN! I thought Clive Owen was blind through the whole damn movie! Ak-47s were pilling up and he just continues to move on, damn near stepping over every dead body with a gun. It's common sense things like this that for some reason always piss me off in a movie. Sure it might not have fit into the story, but it would have made it a helleva lot easier at some points.

Either way, I came out feeling incomplete. Acting, good. Cinematography, excellent! Story line, meh.

I have to disagree with you there. Having seen combat I can tell you that the last guy that draws fire when trying to get to an objective is the one without a visable fire arm. Maybe a conceled pistol could have helped as a last resort, but he was not participating in the battle, merely trying to negotiate it. I agree with all of you other points though.

Ive never gone to the festival before but I think this might be the year. Any info from those with experience?

I have not been either but a coworker of mine has never missed one and he says it is really fun/nice venue/overall very enjoyable experience. He does however have access to badges that let him into VIP sections/tents what have you. He reccomends it very highly.

You probably right, I almost did that when I heard I was going to have to live in car.

Yeah, it's just short of two months though and I will be inside my car so I doubt it will be that impressive as far as wear goes. I will take a before pic just in case.

Well, I am one month a 3 weeks away from being fully vested in my retirement plan at work and I have given notice at work. I have been planning on leaving this firm and moving back to Florida every since my divorce last year. 5 months ago my lease was up and knowing that I was not going to be here for even half a year I was reluctant to sign another lease. An aquaintance at work offered me his spare bedroom for the 5 months at a modest price and I took him up on it. Come to find out he is an out of control alcholic and EXTREMELY moody. On friday he finally lost it and now he wants me to leave with 1 month and 3 weeks left in town. Too short for another lease and too long for motels (I have the money but am saving it to renovate my very old and worn out house in Florida when I return because it needs some work to be liveable. So, I am going to live in my 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback wagon for 7 weeks. I have all my shit in a storage unit (not that I have that much anyway because the X got most everything ( it was easier than lawyers and less expensive). I am going to wear the same jeans for the next 7 weeks and plan to get some authentic "homeless wear" in my S501XX. It's been a hellova year.(by the way, I am still in my 30s so I am not as old as one might think for a retirement fund).

Got the boot from my roomate who was putting me up for the last 3 months (he agreed to 5) in town so I did not have to renew my lease at my old place before I moved back to Florida (was paying a reasonable portion of his rent for my stay). I will now be sleeping in my car for the next 8 weeks. Too short to get another roomate and too long for hotels. I intend to wear the same pair of jeans 24 hours a day for the next 4 weeks and never take them off while sleeping in my 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback. I intend to forgo showering as well as praying as I refuse to feel sorry for myself at my misfortune, I never prayed when I was taking incoming fire on the border of Iraq and I will not start now.I hope to get some authentic "homeless" wear in my S501XX. His reason for asking me to leave was because I left a coffee cup on the counter of the kitchen which I have never used. I could dump a fuckload of cash in an extended stay suite or hotel ( I do have it) but it would fucking piss me off too much so, fuck it. If anyone's is interested..I shall update my saga here. My last day of work is in exactly 6weeks and until then I shall have access to Superfuture while I am working. When I return to Florida I shall move into a home which I in fact own (albeit modest) it will be comfortable and I will appreciate it much more that when I left it for Texas 6 years ago. Although I finished a 2nd college degree in this state, I have lost a wife, a houseful of furniture and both my dogs and now my home so in 8 short weeks I will say good riddance to FUCKING TEXAS.

What about ebay? I wonder what the eventual effect will be. I currently see several people offering a full array of stuff at comparable prices right now.

Off duty cop or not...he got knocked the fuck out!!! A few days in jail ain't bad but fuck..6mts house arrest for a fight, that's a bit strong int it?

I was at a very shitty little local place in Interlachen, Florida a few years back standing in the parking lot. I was there to meet a running buddy for a few beers and stopped to talk to this chick I knew when some one got thrown up and halfway through a window. It was, in fact, my buddy. Instead of going in to help him I just reached up and pulled him the rest of the way out the window and into the parking lot and we preceded to make a hasty getaway. I have only been in bar fights when I was an employee at said bar and was at a distinct advantage. In most cases the bartender (me) is everyones buddy lending to the fact that it was me who controlled the alcohol.

I scored a pair of the ALD Royal pants (selvage) off ebay last month for 125 bucks or so. They look very similar in fit to that pair in the original post (without the suspenders of course). I definately like the style. You take the same outfit ( minus the fruity sneakers) and put them on me with some redwings and it would look just like what it is, workwear. It really depends on the person trying to wear it. You put me in a tight pair of skinny jeans and short t shirt and I would look absolutely ridiculous by the same token.

damnlam!

i posted an APB for ya in the MISSING thread somewhere in this trash heap

i was having trouble keeping it real without you, man

welcome black

Thank you, I got your back!!!!!!

I have not posted since 11/6 of last year because I have been too lazy to retrieve my password.

A toothache, I need a cap replaced and my insurance does not kick in until Jan. 1st. I have been taking pain med for the fucker for 2 months now waiting so I can get 60% paid for by my insurance ( you have to have it for 2 years before it will pay for major dental)...its bullshit I tell you and my ass has been battered by it, but it equals about $1200.00 savings if I can wait it out.

My best friend is staining my shoes

If you wash those it will be too soon. WE WASH NO DENIM BEFORE IT'S TIME

Really nice Redwings. All those seem to be non existant in the US market, No?

Actually, it can be faked. I did it with several sweatshirts. Just put them over the back of your car seat for a whole summer and by winter...voila, very interesting sunbleaching. I guess it is not technically faking it though because it is done by the sun and it does take all summer (in Texas).

I have not as yet received my copy and I am sad thinking that I screwed up the original PM I sent. Is there anyway to know if I got on the list? Shit.
