The Flat Head 3001 World Tour

[iralex]

IRALEX!!!my bad shorty shit has been hectic as fuck baby girl, i've been working everyday since the end of november weekends included, and i have 6 consecutive days to go. (speaking of which for the record iralex's APC are the super sick, no girl has beaten up a pair like this, japanese denim or not). i'll bring them to you myself...saturday after work.

I dunno when I'll be home saturday, probably like sixish. I moved into church hill, 1200 block of 26th street or some shit, I'll let you know.

Welcome to the hood iralex.

Went to a Burlesque show last Friday night, organized by my lady friend. It wasn't really kosher to take pictures of the women performing, but i did get a few shots.

This place was the former (101 year old!) firehouse for the main area of Richmond.

Shockingly, I was drinking coffee and smoking before the performance. Had to go to Staryucks as my coffee spots were closed for the evening.

The host and her lovely assistant getting ready to hand out raffle prizes, which included pasties and various other awesome things.

The guy seated is one of my oldest and closest friends. We've known each other roughly 19 years. Our punk bands had played our first shows together back when we were in high school. We ended up working together @ a local tv station for about 5 years.

It was a few years ago that i turned him onto sufu (he's strictly a lurker afaik) and the excellence of denim. Got him a pair of LVC 1947's which he's had for a bit over a year and is rocking in these pictures. I'd say he's doing good. OCBD, raw denim and soon to have a pair of Clarks DB.

He was brought up on stage and taught how to "shake his moneymaker".

Shaking what his mother has given him (sick burlesque fadezzz bro).

Poorly taken & lit picture of 2 good friends in denim and peacoats.

Needless to say, many tuchases and nay-nays were seen. They had a live 7 piece jazz band with a vocalist, it was a very nice touch. There was also a sub-par magician and two very nervous guys doing and old style 2 man vaudeville comedy routine. Pasty tassels swung, butt cheeks were shaken, and good times were had by all.

I ended the evening with my glaucoma medicine and my lady friend.

Sup sufu beard club.

Awesome update Lendo, I have a feeling this is going to be my favorite leg of the tour to follow. +rep

Last Saturday was a delicious day full of things and stuff

(eg,flatheads,nike freeee)

I drank coffee, and smoked, and thought about things. Dog walking things, food things, other things as well. This is evidenced by my gazing into the future, thinking of my day ahead.

the jeans, my lady friend and i went to a diner.

I had some more coffee.

Also, a chicken fried steak, egg, bacon and cheese sandwich with some hashed browns. It was delicious.

Then, it was Chanukah time at my mom's house.

A poorly lit and out of focus time, but a time nonetheless.

My mom's dog, Penny "The Mini-Pit Possum Killer" was there. She was chillin, also beggin for....

Latkes, potato latkes. Many of them were consumed by my family.

Also, borscht.

*insert foghorn noise here*

Later, i cold lamped and played dreidel, for even a grown man must get that gelt. Much gelt was gotten. I ate it and it was good.

Later, i went home and took more of my glaucoma medicine and watched UFC. It was good. BJ Penn did this to some dude:

The fights were dope. Then i went to bed.

[morse9443]

Killer update lendo must spread. Pit is gorgeous, latkes look delicious and that head kick was devastating! Great fight.

[aho]

Would rep for latke alone if I could!

[vitasoy]

this is definitely one of your best looks, definitely

(late post, sorry)

[calvinouch]

great updates lendo. the cut caused by that headkick was prolly the biggest one ive ever seen in the ufc. Good think Bj did it. I fucking hate Diego!

[tvshooter]

killer updates! let's see the SNOOOOOW!!!

[Lendo]

Working on it man.

Trying to post the pics somewhat in order. May end up posting a couple of updates today being that i'm pretty much still snowed in here.

So the piece of twine that Beats installed to keep the zipper up broke the other day. I replaced it with a piece of an elastic hair tie.

Should hold up for many more legs of the tour. The journal's running out of pages though. If these bad boys keep going around we may have to add a 2nd volume!

[aho]

sad to hear...but its remains should find a lovely new home in said journal!

[salaami]

it's so good seeing my hood on sufu. worth a 1000 words

[Lendo]

some shots to round out my first week with the flat heads

6:30am, on my way to work via the Leigh St. Bridge. That's a view of part of MCV Hospital.

Me in the trusty chariot.

Reading materials on hand for the slow times.

Making some money.

This cat was chillin hard on one of our regular fares' porch.

(american optics, gap, duofold, fh's, russell mocs)

Hit up the coffee spot for more of the bottomless cup steez.

Drove a bit more...

..and ate some broccoli. That's what's up.

They had an art auction for at the coffee shop since last week. All proceeds went to get underprivileged kids bikes for the holidays.

Won 2 pieces. Watercolors by a local tattoo artist.

*HERE ENDS WEEK 1*

[Lendo]

*HERE BEGINS WEEK 2*

Last Friday started as usual for your faithful, denim loving cabby...

The old state library, converted to government bulidings

This place used to be my spot back in high school, we'd take our lunch breaks there and drink coffee until we went crazy. Definitely greasy spoon material.

(beanie, vintage military, boo, j. crew, fh, russell mocs)

Went to the spot, had some more coffee. Also, smoking.

Listened to some tunes.

Flat Heads in action!!

Saw some graf.

This tour bus was parked next to the Virginia Holocaust Museum.

"Fun Tour" fail.

[Lendo]

Later that day, i got a trip to take a guy from RVA to Dulles Airport. Good fare and the guy tipped well. Of course i got stuck in traffic on the way back south.

Then i was all like "oh hell no!?! word?!?"

And this was happening...

Mother nature expelled her cold, white, fluffy discharge all over the damn place!

I promptly got my denim clad butt home, ordered Chinese food, and took my glaucoma meds.

[jimmyc]

did I mention that I'm finally shipping out the Flathead 3001 T-shirts today...

except for Kiya's. I'm holding on to his for spite.

[Lendo]

word up

10ch

[aho]

great updates lendo...damn, how long was that drive to Dulles?

[almostnice]

bloody good read,Lendo.wrestled with similar roadconditions on my Vespa yesterday-looked much better when I went to work at morning.scooter came in handy when the whole traffic broke down.

[salaami]

damn, i used to walk that bridge almost daily in my sams when i was sans-vehicle. i used to wonder how weird i would look to people driving by as i'm standing in the middle of the bridge trying to see if i had any fades poppin'. @sunset the denim looks crazy in the light...

i got my spoon greased by a jawn that worked @ the village. bitch was cum-hungry as a mofo...let me check my phone...

[Lendo]

great updates lendo...damn, how long was that drive to Dulles?

Roughly 2 hours there, 3 3/4 back. The traffic was something i could deal with, snow hit about 45min-1hr outside of Richmond. I took it slow & easy from then on to give all the idiots on the road some space.

The meter was at about $300 when i dropped the guy off @ Dulles.

[Lendo]

Saturday a.k.a. Snowturday

1st Buddy inspects the snow...

Then he goes cuckoo crazy in the coconut and runs around for awhile.

Time to hit them snowy streets!!

We walked!

We ran!

We stopped.

We posed for pics.

After the walk i stopped by the corner market for some snow-time essentials.

Then i took my pants off as they were quite cold & soggy from our walk.

[tvshooter]

no snow angels?? nice shots.

[beatle]

always great to follow lendo's updates****

[aho]

lol Lendo's killing it...making up for my lack of action shots

[**DenimJunky**]

Great update Lendo. Jeans are coming along very nicely.

[Lendo]

Sunday

(beanie, thrift scarf, j. crew x 2, gap, fh, gladiators)

Preparing myself for more winter dog walkery.

Hittin' the streets, picking up the poop and whatnot.

More awkward posing.

Booty shot.

Virginia's 1st Jewish Cemetery was right around the corner. Founded in 1791(!), it was moved in large part in 1861 to another location.

[Lendo]

Getting ready to take the hill!

Doin' the damn thing.

The pups found a patch of fresh grass and munched down for a minute.

Then, Buddy peed on something...

...and Banana was Queen Of The Hill for a moment.

Moments later, she abdicated her throne.

Home again, home again, jiggity jig.

After this, the pants were once again hung up to dry.

They were still soggy as of Monday so i wore some other stuff.

[riff]

The perfect playground - for pups & jeans!
