The Flat Head 3001 World Tour

[Guest chemi]

curious - is mrs. ordo's head in the shape of a pyramid as well? pics!

[ordo]

Missus Ordo and the Ordettes all have triangular heads - it runs in the fambly.

I am not sure what you mean by this.

me either... that douche

[MindxMatters]

lol Ordo has the best family ever. My family would think I was nuts if I wanted to take a picture laying in the middle of the floor in public.

It doesn't mean they don't think I am nuts - they are just willing to go along with it.

XXX DENIM PORN XXX

I didn't have a chance to take any new shots today but I realized that I had snapped some other update shots myself while walking in the sun the other day. This was before the wash. I haven't processed these other than resizing. Enjoy.

I really don't have many pairs of shoes, but I appreciate the sentiment.

They were stiff again after the wash but are softening. I love these denims - must get a pair when I am done with them.

GRANVILLE ISLAND PART ONE

Sorry my server was down today but it is back up and I am ready to post the first batch of images from our sojourn to Granville Island. No Canadian Geese were harmed during the filming of this tour.

Granville Island was a former industrial area which has been renewed in one of the most successful urban redevelopment plans in North America. Rusty tin-sided factories now sit alongside a Public Market, an Art School (my alma mater), shops, various artisans, restaurants, theatres, galleries, a hotel, a microbrewery, marinas, houseboats...you name it.

The first issue is where to park - signage by local artist Joe Average.

Stood majestically atop a grassy pyramid. It is an actual pyramid, though it was difficult to get a shot that showed this more clearly due to the roadway and parked vehicles.

There is a waterpark used at times when the water isn't falling from the skies. I am tall enough to use the yellow slide.

Yes!

Also standing atop the grassy pyramid were some Canadian Geese.

They also like to swim on the scenic ponds dotted about the area. Made an attempt to lure them with the promise of food, without having any actual food on hand. They regarded me with some level of distain, as they tend to, and would not come any closer. Word must have gotten around about me. They aren't quite as dumb as they look.

Climbed up a hill at the other end of the island for a brief moment of patriotism.

Wandered around checking out the various artisans when we came upon a sake-maker. Sampled!

There is a community of houseboats on the north side of the island. Stopped to check their mail.

Houseboats.

[ordo]

Briefly considered taking one of the dragon boats for a ride but decided against it.

A boy and his buoy. Working on the mad ass fades.

THE END PART ONE - stay tuned for more (we took around 100 pictures :eek:)

[Denimism]

Very entertaining!! I can't wait to see more pics!

[nappyhead jenkins]

Ordo

your tour is dreamy I hope it never ends

Yes!

YES - short enough to go for a ride !

[who8mahrice]

Great laugh every time I read your posts Ordo. +rep (if I could, since I already did, haha)

GRANVILLE ISLAND PART TWO

The Aquabus was moored next to the dragon boats, and like the dragon boats, I was tempted to abscond with one. In the end only took a picture. These little guys motor around False Creek taking people from Granville Island to downtown.

Beside the houseboats is my alma mater, the Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design. I studied art and stuff there. Artists like to wear skinny pants.

Under the bridge.

The Public Market is one of the focal points of the Island. There are many treats inside!

Speaking of treats, I decided to stop by Olde World Fudge for some hand made chocolates to assuage Missus Ordo, who was not thrilled that I went off taking pictures again.

Salmon!

Met with my sister's corned beef hookup, Mike the Corned Beef Guy. He let me hold a big chunk of beef.

Had a lovely cuppa Masala Chai.

When I was a young art student, I would skip out at morning break and come down to the market to buy these donuts when they were still hot from the deep fryer. Tasty!

Fair warning for those ferrying food about. If you think that the Canadian Geese are the stupidest birds on Granville Island you would be wrong. It's the seagulls.

[ordo]

Outside the Market you can see the Burrard Street Bridge to the West.

The flowers are coming out.

Worked on some swing fades.

Hap pose in a scoop of some sort.

THE END

[Spastic_Koala]

The fudge/chocolate candy looks delicious. How did the sake turn out?

Sake was good. I just sampled - I will go back another time to buy some.

[ang_kangkong]

Are your days usually jam-packed or is the month for the sake of the FH tour?

Any pics of you actually working? Not a complaint, of course, just wanted a fuller view of the ordo lifeâ„¢.

[ordo]

This is all for the tour! I spend probably 90% of my time sitting in front of a computer working, which is not that interesting. I don't think that anyone wants to see that.

[kiya]

How is anybody going to top Ordo's display of this jeans?

I just hope that people continue putting some effort into the tour. The DD+1 folk have been doing such a good job and I just want to put our tour on the map.

[Spastic_Koala]

Nobody is going to be able to top ordo's pics. But even if the rest of the people put up half as good pics then we can expect good things down the road.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Decided to dye the denims green for fun. It is nice to have your jeans bleed something other than indigo for a change.

[MindxMatters]

Ahahahaha this is seriously the greatest picture ever.

[beatle]

Dope ! ! ! ! !
