The Flat Head 3001 World Tour

[aho]

Great pictures and I'm sad you weren't in China longer!

[fallen angels]

thanks for the comments guys!

i didnt get a chance to wash the flatheads this weekend, but i'll probably do that tonight or tomorrow.

what should we do with these jeans now? return them to Self Edge, or continue the tour?

last night went to eat dinner at california's classic In-n-Out Burger. i usually dont eat fast food but once in a while its okay, cuz when you dont eat it for a long time, you forget how good it is

oh yeah, before we left to go eat, we had this for appetizer

what we ordered:

the animal style fries (fries topped with cheese, sauteed onions, and thousand island) was pretty good.

double double, so good... a tiny bit of sauce dripped onto the flatheads but i wiped it off. later on i was reading the flathead journal, and i saw that mrip also wore these to in-n-out once and dripped sauce onto the jeans. what does a vegetarian get at in-n-out?

a vegetarian gets a grilled cheese at In-in-out. You should try it with hot chilies.

[fallen angels]

^that sounds kinda good actually, i think i'll try it next time

btw, i washed the jeans, water got pretty gross :eek: i'll try to take a pic of the jeans in daytime light soon

any thoughts from the fellow tour members regarding where these should go next?

[schmallo15]

Great pics so far. Keep it up.

And to the question below:

Ooo I think I have that restaurant near where I live. Do you know if Din Tai Fung has any other places open? It could be that mine has the same name. :X

Hey, did these ever make it back to SelfEdge? I was in town, and wanted to see how they ended up after all their world travels...

[billionaireboy]

just went through the whole blog...these jeans have been to some amazing places

[twistedtrees]

Any update on these? I'm just feeling nostalgic for a year ago when I was wearing these.

I vote we send these back around for another year, the last pics posted shows these things have lots of life left in 'em. I will also try to take better pics, but won't ever be able to top Ordo.

[fallen angels]

if anyone wants a go with these, holla at me. they are sitting in my closet.

[khoiphan92]

ill give it a go.....

March 31-April 10, 2009

Return of the Flatheads:

Wondering what had happened to them since my month with the Flathead 3001a in Thailand, I contacted Fallen Angels. He sent me out the jeans, well worn and full of signatures from their trip around the globe. I found out that the students at my work were planning some sort of protest revolution, threatening to shut down the entire school. Briefly excited, I came to work early, anticipating getting sweet fades fighting off trust-fund protesters. The result:

I waited all day, hoping someone would show, but other than a squad of security guards and police, nothing. Some kids might have shown up to perform a play as I was leaving, but that was it. Disappointed, I wandered home to drink heavily. Days passed, punctuated by....well, nothing. Should I go look at buildings? Take a cue from the Ordo and document the novelties of New York? And didn't he already do that himself? Well, the weekend came, friends bailed from drunken misadventures and photo ops, I wandered off to eat terrible brunch:

More time passed, I wandered off to JFK to pick up some in-laws at 6 in the morning:

I'm hoping this is my key into a more robust Flathead 3001 Month. In Thailand, I forgot to take pictures, but now, I'm stuck with my Fobby Thai sisters-in-law for a week-I'm thinking they're all about the gratuitous sight-seeing, so maybe some photo ops will ensue.

Also: Students stormed the school today, occupied a mostly empty building, and got arrested 3 hours later, depriving me once again of the satisfaction of forcing my way through.

Note the dudes on the roof in the far background.

pleasant surprise to see these back in action...thanks for the updates and please keep it up!

[fallen angels]

big props to Largo for resurrecting the FH3001 Tour.

we should continue passing the jeans around to our fellow tour members. this tour doesnt need to end, long live the FH3001 tour!!

April 10-16, 2009

Well, sad to report, despite my in-laws best efforts to go do tourist crap, the week's been mundane at best. They headed out towards the Statue of Liberty, but stopped to take pictures of sculptures before I convinced them that the ferry to Liberty Island would suck.

So instead we hopped on the subway, during which I unsuccessfully attempted to commandeer a subway car, slightly alarming some tourists.

Ended up at Central Park, and wandered around while my in-laws took endless photos of trees and shit.

A few random other trips around the city took place...

And that was about all. Mostly just work in the office....sorry!

[kiya]

Dude, keep it going... no reason to stop this thing after a year.

[Largo]

Well, after a lazy hiatus, and way more pictures of myself than I'm usually comfortable with, these jeans have been in storage for longer than I intended. I had a big, bad-ass final showing planned where I went to see Black Dynamite at the Tribeca film festival, and lots of drunken shenanigans, but I uh.....forgot my camera. That being said, are there any members of the Tour, or reliable SuFuers who want to try and keep this going for a few more months? Word. I'm ready to send these back out.

[fallen angels]

Man, I would've been down to take them for a few months, if only it wasnt the middle of summer. i'll be going to Asia next month (for more school development stuff) and then to an island between Washington state and Canada in August to catch a bunch of fish and crabs, but wearing those Flathead's probably wouldnt be the wisest choice of pants for these occasions.

[lmaozedong]

if deemed reliable, i would GLADLY take these for a month .. im going to china to work in a summer camp for a couple of weeks in a month or so and it could make for some really great photo ops (hint hint)

[Largo]

Well, since I'd been sleeping on this, it seemed best to push things along, per Kiya's wishes. So, off to New Zealand on the Flat Head 3001 World Tour. Unless the post fucks up, updates pending soon...

[jjkchung]

yes.

nuff said.

[aho]

well thats a pleasant little surprise!

[justiz2]

I wouldn't mind having a 2nd go with em...

[M.O.A]

you guys are so awesome

[connor]

this is the coolest thing

[callejeros]

Dude, keep it going... no reason to stop this thing after a year.

Is there a chance to get to wear these for another month?

[beatle]

awesome that the torch is still burning***

[mr.invincible]

those fit you well, tg76; how much were they sized compared to your normal waist?
