anyone else regret buying v fest tickets at full price? seems like it'd be easy to save a heap of money if you waited until now to buy

how much does it cost now?

[Air Max]

And where can you get these discounted tickets?

[gobbledock]

I've seen them on ebay for as low as 80 or 90 dollars.

my favourite thai joint in sydney. always super busy though.

Tried this place last night, bloody fantastic! Thanks for the pointer guys!

[jcotteri]

yeh i will have to give that thia place a try. My fav thia in sydney is at Thiariffic in Miranda or Cronulla. Give it a go if you have the chance, its the bomb!

[homme.homme]

[jcotteri]

Far out, Im trying to buy tickets on ebay. But im having second thoughts, not sure if i can trust them. Wat are the chances of buying a fake ticket? and that it wouldnt scan on that day.

[EDIT] OMG, some of them are e-tickets, whos to say after i purchase off them that they wouldnt use it as well on that day?

[savage science fiction]

hey guys i know you've all moved on but just saw the C.O.N shoes at incu today and the boots are killer! on a similar note if anyone likes double identity they have the black leather sneakers with straps for 99 bux at Apex in paddo

It's a risky business. I've heard pros and cons about buying tickets off eBay auctions, some of my mates have lost money doing it, but usually just because of buying from a seller with no feedback or bad feedback. I've also had to sell an eticket on there before.

Guess it's case by case, there is no hard and fast rule.

Just get information of the person, when I sold it the girl I sold to was really scared I was ripping her off. I gave her my licence details to reassure her. I really felt bad for her, she ended up sending me a massive sob-story email about how her mum was dying and it was her last gift to her etc. etc. and if I'd given her a fake just to tell her. Spooky.

just check the sellers feedback..

if they look reputable, go for it

[superslim_zac]

On a side note, does anyone know how the Levis lawsuit affected Australia?

How are our japanese imports - we have tabs/arcs or not?

[kpnv]

with regards to thai joints... i nominate chat thai

really crowded though and open kinda late.

Make sure you check out their feedback. Generally a legit seller with lots and lots of positive feedback isn't going to decide to randomly shaft someone.

this is the place opposite Starbucks (Capitol Square) right? I think I drove past it the other day and noticed a massive line...

[seven.homme]

anyone interested ?

400 shipped

Our japanese imports are nonexistent.

[superslim_zac]

Our japanese imports are nonexistent.

Yeah I can't think of anyone in Sydney selling import jeans. Thanks anyway man.

@ seven.homme did you get my PM about your bag?

[jcotteri]

Our japanese imports are nonexistent.

closest i have seen are edwins/Evis. Hahah

[kpnv]

japanese imports that contravene levi's trademarks don't really exist in australia. although I'm 60% certain i read in a post on sufu that the trademark thingy only applies to the US. assuming that, if you proxied some skulls for instance, you'd get the ones with the tabs and not the little cross/dagger. Or, you might get the flatheads where you can remove the extra stitching etc.

^ yea chat thai has a massive line, mostly thais and half the line isn't there because their names are on the list and they're waiting elsewhere. decor is really nice too for the amount of money you're paying. also add kickass desserts not on the menu, cute waitstaff sometimes, aluminium cups they serve water in...

the other thai joint i go to is more expensive and the food isn't that much to shout about. sussex thai is packed with thais and there's usually a live band playing thai songs interspersed with happy birthdays, also EPL and they open till 3am serving alcohol. everyone leaves at 3am. its more for the rowdy bangkok bar kinda steez and good for groups and being a friendly place where the waitresses have cute uniforms.

that said, i'm gonna check out spice i am after hearing good things about it.

[superhero]

I just want the one perfect jean... but sydney has like such a small range.

What can people suggest to me in sydney? ( I don't want it to be expensive.. maybe I can wait for a sale)

[jcotteri]

well man how about you tell us what you are looking for. My perfect pair at the moment are sexi 04's but yeh you might be looking for a waxed pair, different cut, colour, type of denim...anything reallly

[superhero]

sorry haha i left that a bit too open.

I'm looking for a blue pair thats raw, straight or slightly tapered, good quality construction, selvage, and able to transcend between casual and dressy and make an asian guy with little ass have SOME.

[superslim_zac]

sounds like your looking for Japanese jeans than!

Nothing like that in Sydney, altho my mate told me about a store called Boys Brushed Indigo but I can't find any info on it - I heard they sell Japanese jeans tho, like Skull and PBJ.

Try blueingreensoho.com they have good range/pricing/shipping/measurements/service.

[homme.homme]

seven i have wanted that belt for ages but my cash flow is way to limited will let you know if i come up with some coin.

[seven.homme]

no worries, will hold if theres no serious buyer. ..

[superhero]

would sometihng like the RRDS be able to be dressed up? I'm not sure how the boot cut would look on some formal shoes.

what about APC?

i have new cures, and i couldn't move at first, but nw they are more like straight leg jeans rather than skin jeans.

and they are easy to dress up....and they don't have over the top pocket detailing either.

[Air Max]

I agree with Matay, Superhero. Sounds like you're looking for APC. The minimalist design means you can pull it off as a bit more high end than if you had crap stitched all over your ass pockets.

The problem then becomes the fact that you don't have any APC in Sydney. I've seen a couple pairs at Incu but some were the stone washed version I think. Or some kind of wash; either way they were pre-faded and pretty disgusting in my opinion. Other than that I can't think of anywhere that carries them.

So that leaves you online options, but I've heard even denim bar and the other online stores run out of APC pretty quick in the most common sizes.

Speaking of sizes if you don't know a lot about APC here you go:
