Samurai Jeans 5th Year Anniversary Feeler Thread

[louisbosco]

oh til, if you keep all 30 pairs you'll have enough jeans to last you till afterlife!

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Yeah

Tillman can wear all those 30 pants in a row since he'is still young. I would like to do this by myself, but in my age I would have to take quite a bunch of those 30 pairs in to my grave yeard and let them age there on the dark side of the earth ha ha ha....

[hopesgone]

til, i hate to be asking again or sounding naggy but have we got any news?

also wondering.

[BlueOctoberFan]

Indeed... I have plans to move soon, and won't want jeans getting lost in the shuffle...

[ThinFinn]

this looks like a never ending story...hopefully with a happy end...very very soon!

[kayodic]

dealing with samurai can be pain in the ass....

[beautiful_FrEaK]

indeed it is...

[saintkeat]

Just heard the news, feel for you T. Really wonder what gives though.

[daynym]

Which news?

[louisbosco]

yeah would love to know too??

[beautiful_FrEaK]

me too Dunno what saintkeat heard (from Ika I suppose).

I'll call Daniel today again. Tehy are pretty busy with renovation works and the upcoming Flathead party

[Maynard Friedman]

Bf, it looks like Samurai are not willing to play ball, however on the positive side, DC4 appear to have a good relationship with Flat Head. Why not move away from the dark side and hold a Flat Head contest instead? Was there a Sufu/Self Edge contest years ago - if so, I'm sure it's high time for the anniversary to be marked. Just a thought...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that isn't a bad thought and there is something Flathead related in the pipeline. But I don't want to end this before it's really over. Samurai did contest in the past and there is still one running in Indonesia...so they are not generally against contest.

Also they confirmed that they want to take part....but maybe their lack of responses now is the polite Japanese way to say "no"?! I dunno. It really sucks for DC4 right now as they are in between and if this throws a bad light on them (DC4)..it's not fair.

[abstraktgeformt]

Even if I dropped out, it saddens me to see this stll not having started. We recently talked about how Samurai doesn't seem to care for foreign markets that much at all. I kind of respect them for that (keeping it real and all, yo), but leaving DC4 and you guys hanging in the ropes like that still kinda sucks.

I hope it's more of an intercultural communication problem and not just a sugarcoated "fuck off" as b_F said, but somehow I feel like it's time to get mad and be all like "You know what, we'll do that with somebody who actually cares!" ;( Even if this wouldn't be wise, I know. Just saying.

[BlueOctoberFan]

I almost hate to bring it up in light of this, but if this contest doesn't happen what will happen with the bracelets for those of us who ordered them?

[kayodic]

i just said dealing with Samurai took forever... i do appreciate dc4's and your effort for getting this contest together.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thanks for your support guys! I'll talk today with Daniel again about some possible changes. Now I'm glad we never took a deposit from you guys!

[arcarsenal]

No probs, til I just appreciate the little updates here and there. Not taking deposits was the right move since we're all here just for the fun of it and none is going to feel like they're owed anything. Whatever happens happens. (but I really want these jeans!)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I phoned with Daniel today and we some news. I will contact you all in the next days to discuss something. Some might love it, some might hate it and some might don't care at all

Stay tuned! I have to work something out with the lovely kayodic

[straightxedge]

Hey b_f,

you got pm.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

got my answer?

@all: I will inform you tomorrow!

[joelz]

the anticipation is literally killing me.

[arcarsenal]

I'm actually already dead and posting from beyond the grave.

[M1stral]

Stil open for entries?

[kayodic]

^are you giving up your Momotaros? of course i'll put you on the list mistral and we'll hear the big news tomorrow.

[saintkeat]

hehe did someone jizz before the pants came off?

I'm vaguely curious whats going on here too. Depending on the date I might sign up.

[hollowsleather]

I almost hate to bring it up in light of this, but if this contest doesn't happen what will happen with the bracelets for those of us who ordered them?

I'll offer a refund, a plain bracelet, or the already-made stamped bracelets (which will then be a weird, bittersweet memento of what could have been).

[Maynard Friedman]

I'd hope people still buy them, considering the time and effort that hollowsleather put in.
