Seattle SFers

[soundune]

This is for all us emerald city cats, holding it down in the May showers. I thought it would be interesting to collect everyone from the grey city into our own thread. I always wonder how many of us there are out there and if I'm walking by some of you on the way to class, when I'm wandering around the city, at the War Room or Chop Suey.

So, if it's all good with you, post whatever identifying info you'd like so we can all get to know one another a little better. I'll start it off

Student @ the UW

Live in the U District

Frequent GOODS about once a week/actually buy something about once every two months!! thosecats arethebest

Think 1524 is decent, but once was on the shaft end of a really shady reselling deal.

Favorite Spots are the War Room, Chop Suey, Broadway in general

.....about it for now. stay up

fuckin' right i'm a doctor

[kwiteaboy]

Student at UW

Live in the Sand Point neighborhood

I visit Riveted at least once a month, though I never buy any of my jeans there..

I don't go out because I'm still wee

[ruach]

I'm a student at SCCC living in the U District.

I go to Riveted and Blackbird pretty often, as well as the usual second-hand shops.

[soundune]

nice, thanks for replying. i'm not familiar with riveted...what and where is it??

fuckin' right i'm a doctor

[ruach]

It's a great denim store on 1st, towards Pioneer Square. They carry Nudies, April 77, Nobody, etc. The owner has also expecting shipments from Acne, Julian Red, Tsubi (I believe), and Cheap Monday. I haven't been there in a few weeks so that stuff may already be there.

unfortunately... High School student for another 17 days.

But I'll be attending UW in the fall.

Been to Goods, been to 1524, but can't frequent them yet, 'cause the trip is too far to be frequent.

I do a lot of my shopping in Japan.

I might go to Tila Tequila's party tonight at Premier LOL.

But yeah, I haven't gotten a chance to check the club scene yet.

I been rappin' for about 17 years..

I don't write my stuff anymore,

I just kick it from my head you know what I'm sayin I can do that.

No disrespect... but that's how I am.

[soundune]

naturaljax: are you from japan? how do you manage to do most of your shopping there??

peace

A really really great shop. They're going to be getting Acne, Cheap Monday, Swear, and some other really cool stuff in the future.

The employees are all very helpful too and actually the owner sometimes browses these forums.

[Icicle Cubicle]

20,

EDCC for now, but ill be at FIDM in L.A. starting this fall

im at goods about once a weeek, and then hit up 35th north while im in seattle, i also like to hit up barnys to check on the bbc, and i dont really like capital 1524, cause i think capital 1524 is shady as well.

i have friends at the uw so i usually go down there and party on the weekends, and sometimes i go to kenmore for 12 o'clock bowling on weekdays, im always rocking some sort of dunk sb, levis and a tee, so come say whats up if you see me.

[justaname]

student at ais

live in tacoma (no where near seattle but in the emerald)

don't have much time to frequent around but usual spots are goods and riveted (can't afford shit)

can be seen at war room from time to time, don't know a lot of people. who's going to that pete rock thing? because i am. ohana is another good sushi spot for after 10'ers like me.

who wants to hang out and whatever? no homo.

and have safe sex? i kid.

?

[soundune]

yo, emerald city cats. this is cool, now we can talk the rainy city talk - i'm already discovering stuff i didn't know of before.

i'm planning on being at the pete rock show > free dollars can't be beat to see a legend.

also for sure going to the spankrock show at the chop. saw the first show when it was just armani....kind of weak but if spank is going to be there it's sure to be live...

is black bird the reincarnation of that shop that used to be in freemont in the gallery space by the crazy antiques shop???

stay up

fuckin' right i'm a doctor

[soundune]

icicle: what's the story on the pocket full of monsters, soulshifter, and fire?? I'm familiar with fourcolorzak from the war room and the flying coffin ish from GOODS, but never heard of the others you mentioned..

fuckin' right i'm a doctor

[red]

[kwiteaboy]

Haha, you can't watch KING? You're not missing much.

PFOM is an art collective that my boy Angry Woebots (hawaii kid who moved to seattle) started. lots of talented heads in that crew. heres a link: http://myspace.com/pocketfullofmonsters

Soul Shifters / Circle Of Fire = bboy/house/hiphop dance crew out of seattle. reall cool heads. youve probably seen them at the War Room etc. http://www.myspace.com/soulshifters

anyhow, all the camps i named are part of the same extended family, and each crew has members from Hawaii, where im from. oh, and i forgot to mention Goods. cant wait to head back to the north west.

[JesseJB]

Im probably the only SF'er upstate...repping Snohomish County.

I frequent Seattle as often as possible. The only place where I get compliments on my JR Calis... I need to check out Riveted soon. Or perhaps just move to Seattle. Thatd be good.

[naturaljax]

nah, I don't live in Japan, but I've gone there 3 times in the last year.

I really want to live there though, probably college / after college, then move back here.

but yeah, I just spend a shitload of money everytime I go, so that I don't have to spend much during the rest of the year.

I been rappin' for about 17 years..

I don't write my stuff anymore,

If you live in Seattle, send me your suggestions.

[ruach]

Ooh that is cool to hear you are getting Jean Shop. From what I've seen, they are gorgeous.

I'll look forward to seeing more April 77 stuff too.

[JesseJB]

Does anyone know if Kuhlman in Belltown carries selvage Nudies yet? Last time I was there it was all greycast.

[soundune]

i think someone mentioned barney's carrying Ice Cream....is this true and if so what do they have?

fuckin' right i'm a doctor

[soundune]

also, another topic:

what do you guys think of the GOODS inhouse line?? Personally, I'm pretty impressed, although as much as I like eye-catching clothing I don't think i could pull off that bondage T.

And what's the latest on those GOODS x Stussy New Eras??

fuckin' right i'm a doctor

[ruach]

Yup, I saw Ice Cream at Barney's the other day.

[ilovespaz]

i make cool clothes in Lake City

work to much to buy new clothes, last shopping trip was at Deseret Industries on aurora (mormon thrift shop)... bought a nice polka dotted women's shirt and plaid pants.

Riveted carries April 77 . . they are quite cool.

booty clap contest anyone?.......

[Guest blackbird]

Who hems and/or tapers your jeans in Seattle? Any recommendations?

[ruach]

I don't know who they do it through, but I think Riveted does alterations on jeans. I have no experience with it, but since it is a jeans-focused store I'm sure whoever does it should come recommended.

ya, i said that, they had a hoody and like two shirts last time i was there about a week ago, but they had alot more earlier in the month, so you gotta keep checking back

[JesseJB]

Kuhlman's does alterations..or at least thats what I read. I heard you can get jeans restored there.
