Yea, that's an actual budweiser promo piece. Supreme one was like the campbells cans; all in order.

Selling a size L multistripe university SS buttondown if anyones interested. 95$, only worn a few times. Will send ya pics if you're into it.

Been doing freelance writing for Gizmodo/Popular Mechanics and grant writing for two local non-profits. On top of that started work as a technical writer at the university. Cool job for people who write well; basically work as the departmental literary agent, editing and expanding papers, writing your own acknowledgements, getting in contact with journals to see if they're interested in running your research, dealing with PR, etc.

Hoping to get more stuff in print over the next year.

Real Talk: I sold that city print Northface last summer and funded an entire road trip from NM->Chicago->NJ->NY->RI. Guessing market will drop out on the new one real quick though.

Book seems to be catching an inordinate amount of flack for being too verbose. Kind of ridiculous in my opinion. Reminds me of White Noise post Airborne Toxic Event thus far.

Fun stuff. He opens with saying how uncomfortable he is with his non-fiction, and he really does seem to struggle with it. Seeing him put all this out there is pretty heartening though. I love his way of describing how batshit insane our world is.

haha, why does trying to click the last page of this thread bring a pop up of a bowl of beans and rice and a yellow nuptse (other than the obvious te amo reference)

@dead_wizard get at me

When did that pentagram snapback come out, and does anyone want to sell me one?

Hah weird, I was this [ ] close to buying the new Lauren Beukes book "Zoo City" based off the recommendation of William Gibson

Picked this up on recommendation of a friend, and having previously read Trial by Fire.

Great collection of literary journalism. Reading Crimecity USA right now and it's jaw dropping.

Looking forward to The Prague Cemetary by Eco.

I would go with the bedford/cambridge pant combo. Hate the quirky collar detailing on that WWM jacket and it wouild throw off an otherwise trad outfit.

Finished Clockers yesterday. Hell of a book. Loved that part where they're in the abandoned children's hospital, reminds me of this scary place in Newark I'd always pass on the way to school.

Starting today

There is a great piece in NY Magazine about how this book is heavily inspired by the intertwined lives of David Foster Wallace, Franzen, and Eugenides himself.

ya'll gonna start a race war.

Can anyone link me to some fingerless gloves cut like the Supreme ones coming out later? I'm sure the deerskin pad on the palm will raise the price to like 40 bux

yea I was going to say, those Timb's are trash. Field boots without pink fur or a variant on the wheat boot would have been tight.

Korine decks and new 94's in the pipeline. That Korine essay is kind of 12th grade film class quality though, jeez.

o shit neighbor gave me her tv because she couldn't take it with her.

I'll be back in the game soon, gamertag Son of Rodney

blacked out sufu ebbets, blacked out MA-1's, black jerseys, black sweats.

Danner, not a big fan of the wabasha boot

rename thread HARDCOVER SAVED MY LIFE imo

thoughts on this thing? I still don't know about ebooks, but I like the idea of them for magazines.

New Chasing Voices 12" is good, not sure if it's as good as Acidbathory but up there.

The hell is with J.Crew doing a watered down LL Bean style diffusion line? Their website is already a mess, now they have another brand under themselves?

here's a small question

http://www.filson.com/products/oil-finish-wax.69033.html

Rewaxing a jacket, this stuff should be fine right? Not sure if it's some proprietary filson goo that will turn my jacket neon red or something

Hm, new Clarks boots. Not really feeling any of them but the brown

Burned through The Friends of Eddie Coyle in two days. Real fun read; you can tell this guy had an absolute pitch perfect knack for dialogue and zero skill at prose. Ridiculously sparse descriptions of everything, but for a book that's 80% dialogue it works as a way to set the scene.

On to Lush Life right now. So far it's excellent.
