Went to Womb and the crowd there sucks in a different way. Like crew cut army motherfucker named MIKE and friends shoving people on the dancefloor, or every single 20 year old, which is 98% of the crowd there. Or the foreigners hanging around and never dancing.

I would go there again if I had nothing to do on a tuesday and i got free beers.

I'm going to go to le baron though because girls have been disappointing look-wise so far.

What about narzib, anyone go?

And Diesel xxx, is anyone going? I kinda dont wanna pay for anything diesel though.

[bentobox]

. . . to pick up the . . . Eastern Euro girls there. . .

Is there any other reason to go?

Otherwise it's just terrible music, with shit drinks in a shit atmosphere amidst a shit neighborhood.

BTW, Harajuku Gold's gym is surprisingly small given it's location and profile. Just a heads up for the Tokyo-ites.

Fuck Lex.

Gyms....I go to Ebisu Sports sportsplex. http://www.sp-j.net/club/ebisu/index.php decent facilities but I haven't been in like 2 weeks, so its not worth it.

Went to Le Baron last weekend, hadn't been in a minute. Lots of 芸能人 in that place these days. Saw .........

boozing with some hot girls.

Amazing what some faux exclusivity will do for a club's rep in Tokyo.

What was the music like? I'm looking into doing an event there in the future. Maybe a monthly with Kango if his schedule permits.

Was supposed to be Italo-disco, but was kinda lo-fi for my tastes. Kinda slow grind. Still, it was a lot better than the last time I went though. They had some JV DJ spinning some bad minimal type music.

I would say in general they are kind of electro-focused, but they do have a pretty wide variety of talent that comes through.

Their site lists "DJs" as "selectors" like Herpsky mentioned above though, so sometimes can't tell how much is really their own style.

As a venue its a nice club, but the crowd is always too busy trying to look good to have fun.

I think the sound system in there is kind of shitty compared to places like Unit, but they obviously aren't on the same scale.

Still, its a good time and wicked popular now. Lots of good looking people there on a regular basis.

Cool. Good to know. Last couple of times I have been there it has always been the last stop on a long evening. We have the inside line there so it might be a good place to kick off our Tokyo event. The booth and system, however, undeniably suck.

muthafucka have you posted our WAYWT yet?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

there are about 10-12 vintage stores on the small harajuku st alone and then there are a few others on the other side of omotesando st, just go off from cat street onto the small streets and look around.

[bonjin]

there's cool thrift shopping in nakameguro as well.

[cuddlysheep]

i'll be in nihon thanksgiving week, wasabe flavored roast turkey.

[herpsky]

VOICE, berberjin, go-getter (personal favorite), santa monica

are gud.

There's a lot of vintage joints on tonchan-dori (harajuku dori). That's behind the main beams store. Voice and berberjin R are on that street. Check out united arrows blue label store. I like that place. Good selection of cool jawns.

The ultimate sufu experience = Mr. Hearts under freaks store on cat street.

They just carry the finest next next next next level workwear / deadstock vintage ridiculousness. Like original jack purcells from who-knows-when.

They also carry EG, lots of woolenrich woolen mills, accessories. Deminz.

You will cream your pants / guaranteed heart attack.

[bonjin]

i assume the nepenthes store carry the biggest selection of eg and wwm in tokyo?

i still need to find out where to cop some kiminori morishita.

[herpsky]

yeah

nepenthes has a whole lot of engineered garments.

they rarely go on sale.

what's wwm?

[bonjin]

woolrich woolen mills, also designed by daiko suzuki

[bonjin]

but maybe nepenthes doesn't carry wwm? i was just so sure, never checked.

will head over there in a week or so though to check it out, it's just down the street from respekt as well and they usually have decent lunch and drinks.

[wild_whiskey]

Actually I was looking for used current stuff (a few years old) more than vintage, really. I'll check out some of the places above, for sure though, since I have pretty much the whole day free today.

Going to check out Daikanyama today to hit the Julius store and some other business. Anything else in that vain I should definitely check out? The Sufu map is awesome, but there's a gajillion places and I have no idea which ones I should really check out.

new viridi anne store in aoyama. about 10 min walk from omotesando station. nice store, nice staff.

[dismalfuture]

Yo B, if you see one of those rubber book carriers that Japanese Uni kids carry their books around in, could you cop one for me? It doesn't matter what it says on it, you could probably find one at Aoyama Gakuin or something if you're down there. Pay you back next week.
