Was it really that bad last time the yeezy parade was in town? It would be worth it going in to see all of the givenchy tshirts out front of sneakerboy..

From what I was told the line for sneakerboy (I think, not sure if that or espionage) extended to about 2 blocks which is not something you see often here.

 

This time even footlocker in george st is supposed to have stock so...

 

edit: Seems like footlocker only has 21 items in stock. At least that's what I gathered from their post-it in front of their shop.

 

Also shout out to the dudes collectively freezing their butts off tonight in front of the galleries and my deepest apologies for giggling as I walked by.

Anything worth doing in sydney in general over the next few days? (here 'til saturday).

[frasier oiseau]

There should be screening a print at the gallery of New South Wales on wed, check their film page. Worth lookin around the gallery afterwards, and you can walk through the botanical gardens beforehand

There's also a neat bar in Darlinghurst called the Local Taphouse that has a like 20+ taps and a great rotating selection of international and domestic beers, worth stopping by for a drink with friends

Or you could head out to the Hills and try and score shrooms

 

Looks like Old Boy is the film being screened tomorrow, 2pm and 7:15pm showings

[CASSAVA PIECE]

old boy fucking sucks it's the worst movie of all time

[david10d]

watch oldboy or meet deux????

I've never seen it, but I really enjoyed everything else I saw on the program (Tampopo, Cyclo, two Zhang Yimou films) Is it really that bad? 

[CASSAVA PIECE]

[kicks79]

Which one the original or the american remake ?

 

If its the remake I would pass. But the original is good.

[gti]

all versions suck 

[conqueror]

saying the og 'sucks' is about as fake edgy as you can get.

Early release tix are only $10 (+BF) on RA!

I wouldn't say it sucked, but then again my friends kept hyping it up so the ending got spoilt for me, dunno if that affects it.

The Box gets my vote for worst movie

 

Also there's a screening on the cost of fashion (?) tonight at Darlinghurst

 

Local Taphouse

 

Seconded, but beware of a packed house on Friday night as you'd expect. Same goes for nearly every other joint in Surry Hills/Darlinghurst/City area.

 

Or i guess you can just go to OPM and party with the KAGs if that floats your boat

[only_time]

deux can you meet me at the sneakerboy store on thursday or friday for a combined what are you wearing today picture. thanks

 

edit: not a joke

 

edit: also are there any stores worth checking out? Interested in Yohji/cdg/Rick mostly

Edited July 8, 2015 by only_time

I'm not in sydney at the moment and that sounds kinda corny

 

As far as stores go, gotta say, Melbourne is far better. Pieces are cunts, don't go there - they won't let you in if you aren't chinese and don't look rich and tasteless. Harrolds stocks Rick and CdGH+, there's nowhere that stocks Yohji in Sydney afaik, Supply might still stock Comme des Garcons Homme (Junya's line) and Junya Watanabe Man. The PAM store is also worth going to. Incu isn't great, but since it's in the same building as Muji and Kinokuniya, if you're there, it's worth having a little look

nice dodge

 

 

 

Checked out Harrolds, but they were out of stock of a lot of stuff.

[frasier oiseau]

Knxwledge doing free dates across Aus with RBMA

 

Marc Ribot playing here in August as well, his first time in Sydney!

 

[kicks79]

APC opened on Crown Street.

Drove past the other day. Looks pretty good.

Right next door to the Rapha store.

[FatCook]

yee, but I can already imagine bookings are gonna be a major pain

 

lets hope it doesn't go down like the fat duck with their raffle

[FatCook]

Not strictly Sydney, but does anyone have any recs of general things to check out in Orange and/or central west region? Will be heading down there for work and staying for about 1 month

[kicks79]

Anyone know who has a Converse 70's account in Sydney ?

Need a pair of lo's for summer.

In the same boat, haven't been able to find a place to cop

It's funny 'cause it's true. 

 

I would be half-tempted to spend my money there if I could see what the hell I was looking at, and if they were't passing off 3-season-old stock at full retail.

 

And ffs, build a gd website.

[kicks79]

Really ? I've never set foot inside. The door is always closed and the shop looks so uninviting.

[Ivans On High]

It is uninviting. And uninspiring. It's amazing to think that a store with all those great labels could be so terrible.
