australia :: brisbane :: general

[SDES]

I'll check it out in the next few weeks, then!

[woody^^]

yeah, I have heard from someone I work with that Outpost has stepped it up.

God no, i don't work at general pants. I work at Fuel Clothing in Bulimba. It's pretty much Universal. The staff there are fucking hot though.

[CBM]

Matt owns the Outpost. They stock Cheap Monday, but not Naked and Famous. Blonde Venus has some denim, but mainly Edwin, Dr. Denim, Cheap Monday and the new jeans by Malmo. If you're looking for Naked and Famous there's a store in the Valley opposite Blonde Venus, on the other side of Ann Street that stocks them - from the outside the window is stocked with Vans, Adidas, Nikes.

[woody^^]

Ah. Thank you for correcting me. I was just going off some 2nd hand info

Is that store the sneaker(y) one? Combine?

[SDES]

Thanks again for the info CBM, and thanks for the store name woody! I was just gonna rock up there without knowing.

Just checked out their website, and most N&F is priced at $160 - pretty damn good price. Looks like I'll be buying locally for once.

[CBM]

No worries, guys. Not many of us Brisbane-ites on here, gotta help each other out haha.

apartment reopening this month on charlotte street... sweeeeeeeeet

[woody^^]

Oh shit yes. I have been wondering when they would be open again. Great to hear

[034936]

wonder what the fitout will be like. where abouts on charlotte st?

[okonomi]

That's nice to hear. I never really liked their second place anyway, and I thought they had kinda wanted to get away from their for a while.

[woody^^]

Really? What didn't you like about it? All I know is that they thought it was a bit too big, didn't realize they had an issue with it though.

For what it's worth, I liked it!

[okonomi]

I dunno, I guess I was just always weirded out by the contrast between it and their previous store. It seemed so soulless in comparison.

I don't think they had a problem with the place per se, but they complained about the flocks of annoying kids who always came in thinking they were still a sneaker store. So having a new place will fix that I s'pose.

[woody^^]

Haha yeah good point. Man, they said opening June, and this month is disappearing fast. Wonder when it will actually open?

[woody^^]

123 Charlotte St. Opening tomorrow!

[SDES]

Carhartt store supposedly isn't in there yet, though - I might wait for them move in.

[woody^^]

Yeah I went in yesterday, Carhartt should be there in a week or so. The store is totally, totally different. It's nice though

[okonomi]

Alright, let's see if we can make this thread slightly more interesting

Favourite date spots in Brisbane?

[CBM]

Hey, pretty late notice, but Apartment is having a store-wide 20% off sale. Ends tomorrow (Wednesday) though.

[dumadiscount]

date spots: im married but everytime i go to ginga emporium there's about 10 couples there on a first or second date.

southbank precinct seems nice for date... sardie tin, la via, piaf, bamboo basket, ginga, blah blah then go for a walk around southbank. parking sucks though.

in general fave eating spots are cirque in new farm, little hong kong in sunnybank and ecco if high end.

had first date with wifey in park road, milton about 10 years ago. harhar.

[okonomi]

Bloody hell, Cirque and Little Hong Kong are actually my two favourite spots as well. I live in Sunnybank so I spend a lot of time there.

Best place on Park Rd imo is definitely Embers. Love their steaks so much.

[dumadiscount]

lol, avocado and salmon on sourdough at cirque is money and most times i go past sunnybank i gotta grab ho fun & congi from little hk.

[034936]

anyone able to comment on the vibe/quality of the brunswick social?

new high-end/dego place on eagle st called esquire that definitely sounds like its worth trying: http://www.esquire.net.au/

chef ryan squires has a rather sturdy resume it seems (el bulli, french laundry, per se, wd-50).

[dumadiscount]

haven't heard of either, but will check them both out.

selling a box of material boy junk i found from the old days on supermarket if anyone wants a laugh

[okonomi]

Anybody been listening to 4ZZZ today? I did an (awkward) interview earlier this arvo.
