ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[rnrswitch]

Wack!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding. I thought that dkatz could win on any level with his pair of jeans. He had the most experiences, posted a ton, and had some beautiful looking jeans at the end. Well deserved dude.

Now give me my $5 you promised for me voting for you.

Just a few other notable moments I revisited while looking back through Dkatz's posts:

Way to go Daniel - a well deserved win, great posts!

[dkatz]

Awe jeeeeeeeez guys! I feel like the prettiest girl at the ball. I'm blushing!

seriously just stoked to have been part of this. And im incredibly thankful to have had this - literal and figurative - forum to share that year with. It was not a very easy year but having such great enthusiasm from you all was actually quite a help.

Thanks to the Founding Fathers for getting this show together!

Yay jacket! Will post pics of ROY tuxedo!

[Maynard Friedman]

I still think anyone else should've won...

congrats daniel. great job man so excite man.

[sweapea]

It seems to me that this contest was about three things:

1. The journey.

2. Sharing an experience.

3. A beautiful pair of jeans.

Congratulations Daniel. You nailed all three.

Ringring expressed it perfectly Daniel!! Well earned! Congratulations and a big virtual hug for you

[Max Power]

Congratz Daniel. Your pair is awesome and I loved your posts (but those of the others as well, so to me *patchetic cough* you're all winners.)

[dr.house]

Congrats Daniel, f.cking great jean, good to see I've made the right vote

[erk]

congrats Daniel. what an awesome contest. I'm sad its over.

[rnrswitch]

What ever happened to the 7 pairs of chonies for the winner?

[theotherchrislewis]

Well done to all of the r x c contestants (especially dkatz),

twas a great contest to follow - you guys nailed it!

Funny how the music stopped just as I got to the bottom of the page. It's always nice to take a strangely wistful experience and slather on a good schmear of surrealism. ROY has been a fabulous behind the curtain, Oz-like guru, and you all have made this a journey to higher and more bizarre planes of existence than some stitched blue fabric would appear to have the capacity to do. I think ol' DK couldn't be more worthy of accolades, and I would sure like to meet you sometime. It's been a heck of a rollercoaster ride, folks...

[dkatz]

if you make it down south for a visit, I'll be here to welcome you with bells on (and ROYxCones, of course)!

[fardin]

hey josef, i always loved that song, even have the LP, awesome post.

[tg76]

still wearing mine daily, are ewes?

[dkatz]

My workplace is definitely pretty casual, but I'm not sure it's quite frankenstein-pants casual.

The jacket, however, I'm sure will be seeing regular daily-duty! Sounds like Roy and I will pow-wow on it once he's finished Self Edge's most recent re-up. I'll keep you guys&gals posted!

[Joseph Hill]

^^Not daily, but about every other. Have been rotating back in the 201s. I didn't realize how much the ROYs had actually progressed until I started wearing these again as they are so far unbroken. Lees, and Left Fields are getting periodic time. Chambray underpants are in normal rotation (would still like to get more of these). Kitenge goes in the pocket every day. It's surprising how many young girls will ask about it out of the blue considering I'm old, dirty, and have been referred to as a little scary looking at times.

Fardin, have you listened to the Psychedelic Sounds in the originally intended track order? It makes so much more sense than the jumble International Artists made of it. I got to meet Roky at Bumbershoot a couple years ago. He's come along way back to the land of lucidity...

Will the jacket be the same denim?

Heh... awesome.

Pretty sure he used all of that denim on the jeans! I wish though...

[The Clerk]

Just to say a big thanks to all for a good year - sorry I wasn't more active, but it's been an honour to be a little part of the gang. Also a massive thanks to Ranonranonarat, your vote much appreciated!

And of course well doen Daniel. As the saying goes, nice fades.

Love to all

[dkatz]

For kicks, and because I'm not sure the last time I posted a fit pic wearing the ROYxCones here:

From a few weeks ago now (on my way to Inspiration). I think I'll always have that awesome "ahhhhh" feeling when slipping into these well-loved second-skins!

[dkatz]

Oh! Another, which I know the Deutscher ROYxConers will appreciate. My brother finally developed the disposable (film) camera we took with us through Germany.

[dkatz]

Talking jacket specs with Roy. Getting excited.

[rnrswitch]

Show off. No need to rub it in.

[dkatz]

If you're nice I might let you try it on

[Joseph Hill]

I think rubbing it in is how the winning fades were made.

[zissou]

I think it would only be fair to send it on a world tour, Daniel.

[dkatz]

I think Robbie, Ranon, ADH and TG could join me on a world tour... would probably be comically small on the rest of you cats!
