@Paul T I hope the cotechino and lentils will bring you money for the 2018 (that's why we eat it on NYE, cause it's supposed to bring good luck and money for the following year)

Fiat 500? I'd never buy one of those either in the SF bay or everywhere else! Plastic interiors will crack before the first timing belt exchange, in true Fiat fashion...

@bartlebyyphonics nice to see/hear your intellectual ramblings! 

@aho impressive fading, great to see some serious denim dudette commitment too! but honestly I find it quite artificial/gimmicky looking. 

@MasonAlexander congrats man! 20s will make for an excellent dad jeans pair!

great to see pix for no reason! always good to see things how creep along; esp. for us fading au naturel! good to see the map of how things will occur! and lovely to see the texture creeping through... i think these will be fine faders...excited to see how the four modes taking place (super washing, regular washing, irregular/non-washing, starch coating) will end up...

Hah! Something like that! 

[mandel9000]

I was going to post a little update, but I get an error message when I try to upload photos from the good camera. This is the only one that went through so until I figure out what the problem is, this is what you get: weekend cat. 

And I forgot: Congratulations, Mason!

Thanks everybody. The fact that I will probably have $0 to spend on new jeans for awhile is going to make for some great 20s wear hahaha

A little blurry, but this - the middle section of my upper thigh - is where the suitcase rubbed.

Not much denim updates from me. Spent another evening at the park chasing my daughter around, going up and down slides and shit. Dad fades in progress. My daughter saw a kid she goes to school with and they were having fun until this kids neighbor shows up and suddenly these boys become assholes. This other kid kicked my daughter and I almost went ‘Ndrangheta on him. Once the blood rage cleared I just got the fuckers mom to take him away haha. Little bitch. Then I made sauce.

I'm having the same problem lately, I thought I was insane because no one else was mentioning it but glad to know that it's some board problem.

I thought the list was pretty fixed by now? What's the end date going to be if people keep joining for months after the contest started

I edited the image size to around 2GB and then it worked. But I also waited a couple of hours so I'm not completely sure about causality here.

Went cross-country skiing today, and I wasn't the only one.





One thing is walking slowly in a queue uphill, it's quite another when going down those steep slopes. Saw so many accidents (not the serious kind) that I decided to just go up-up-up to the top and take the metro from there instead of where I started from.

It's been a good weekend. On Friday I went with some friends to see a darkwave band called True Moon at one if Gothenburgs smaller avenues called Oceanen. I really like the place, they have cheap tickets and are very good at booking up and coming bands.

The weather was great today so I opted for a coffee at Bar Italia, one of my favorite coffee bars, and go for a walk. 

Gothenburg is one of very few Swedish cities that uses trams. Mostly it's just buses. 

We also have a heritage as a harbor and warf city. My grandad used to work in the warf as a welder here in the 50's but sadly it's all closed down now. The harbor is still pretty active although it got moved further out from the city to accomodate large ships. I think Gothenburg and Rotterdam is the only two Europeans harbors that the biggest ship in the world can come into. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Then I met up with a friend for a visit at the city museum and see two exhibitions; one of the music scene in Gothenburg from 1955-2015 and one of Freddie Wadling, a Swedish musician and artist that sadly passed a way last year.

A collection of album art from Gothenburg musicians. Below is a picture of drawings that Freddie Wadling did. Apparently he was a hoarder and when he died they found an entire garage (and his flat) full of boxes with everything from drawings, lyrics to voodoo dolls and instruments. It took them months to go through it and now they made an exhibition of it. Lots of fun and definitely worth a visit.

got back from winter break without my 20's. oh how I've missed them. haven't gotten any hardcore fades like some of you my sedentary student life hasn't been to hard on them, I'm loving the roping and puckering. My buttons are still shiny as new

[Broark]

Little weekend update.
Saturday evening after work I went over and helped set up a surprise party for @longshanks, where we actually ended up wearing the same Roy shirt. 



Taking the dog out the next morning, wearing my IH type III and Viberg engineers.

Sunday afternoon I went and checked out a home for my parents who are thinking of moving to Austin.
It's been a weird situation but ever since they moved back from Singapore, they can't decide where they want to live, but this home is a real possibility I think.



Topped off Sunday night with an Epic Brewing Big Bad Baptista.
