is that a pocket bag imprint?

[chambo2008]

anyone gonna do some deals? like pick me up a pair need some cheap jeans haha, i think i remember kiya saying warehouse were like 100 bucks?

[coleslawyum]

Yeah a lot of deadstock and sample sales. You can catch a lot of good deals there. The small sizes go faster than the larger ones, but I think there's definitely enough product to go around for everyone.

[wahwho11]

those thin waisted japanese buying up the product so fast. good thing i'm a "fat" 33.

[edmond]

[Aquaphor]

So is the official info on this event out yet? I really wanna go this year!

[coleslawyum]

I've been looking around the Lightning blogs, and so far I've found a date on Culture Day. But thats November 3rd on a Wednesday, so it doesn't make sense. Maybe some with a better command of Japanese can figure this out. Here's the link.

A Wednesday? Weird.

Still weird.

Thanks for the info guys!

EDIT: Just founf a direct flight from NY to JP for $987 and I am sure there are much better deals with all the time. It will be a miracle (or just a sign that I have not found a job) if I make it out there...

I've never been to Japan before, what's the usual living cost per/day there? Where's it held? Tokyo?

[coleslawyum]

Odaiba, Tokyo. But I wouldn't recommend that you stay at Odaiba unless you want pay about $300 per night on the island. However since its pretty accessible from anywhere in Tokyo, you can stay in any neighborhood. The further you are from the center of Tokyo the cheaper the cost of living. If you want to grime it out, hostel will run as little as $30 a day or shack up with a friend(s).

[sixsixtie]

In my experiences Japanese hostels are not grimey at all they're actually really clean.

[ravennavaro]

While we're at it what the baseball season there? I'm actually very interested in staying in those capsules beds/hotels, but I heard those capsules are only big enough for one person, can another one snuggle in? Anybody with experience?

[coleslawyum]

Yeah, you're right. I guess I should have prefaced it with, in comparison to hotels, which are pretty spotless. Overall, Japan is a pretty clean country, though there as some spots that are considered shady, like in any metropolitan city. Tokyo is pretty visitor friendly, easy to get around, cheap food and clean bathrooms.

Capsules are usually regulated to men only, and they are pretty strict about that. I have no idea how much those cost and would be interested with hearing someone's experience.

yeah, november 3 is the date. there's a 2-page ad in the october issue of lightning announcing the event. pre-sale tickets are now on sale for ¥500 here. they're also available at pia stores and at circle k-sunkus convenience stores. you'll be able to buy tickets at the festival, too. the gates open at 10 AM.

odaiba will be the place; lightning should provide specific access information as the date gets closer.

looking forward to it! i'll be bringing my evisu #2000 no.1s out of semi-retirement for the occasion
