beautifulfreak is saying that,apart from denim, he also loves to collect flowers,which he picks himself,let them carefully dry in an old book before he puts them in his herbarium.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[tvshooter]

conceive? you can't get preggers by doin it in the arse, can ya? :eek:

alright ya manics. . .here's a sufu world tour first (at least that i know of)

-9-Te-DPbSE

i don't know what else to say other than- FUCKIN AWESOME!!!! we keep and maintain the chopper right here at the station. the landing pad is out back. notice the camera mounted on the nose.

the Ooe's going out for some morning traffic reports.

here's the monitors that i look at while operating the gyrocam. the chopper is totally state of the art. the nose mounted flir gyrocam stabilizes the camera and keeps the image super smooth. a xdcam deck is located below on the left if i want to record the shots.

this is the controller that i operate the camera with. pretty fuckin cool if i do say so myself. . .

[Mich]

That's some seriously cool stuff tv

it was really great seeing them Ooe's getting durrty.

[blm14]

ahhh why did I not check this thread yesterday!? I would have gone to meet you... Oh well. Next time, sichuan hot pot and russian vodka room my treat.

[tvshooter]

ever since i was chosen to be on this tour, i wanted to take the jeans to new heights. i really think i went overboard on this one. . .

as my time with the Ooe's nears it end, i figured, what the hell. . . LET'S ROCK AND ROOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!

our mission- get to the top of the biggest building i could find.

our target-

me and my denimhead sidekick, Sarah

the Empire State Building is so tall i can't get a pic from the bottom.

holy crap! no lines! we got in and up in less than ten minutes. remarkable if you've ever been the ESB. however, as you'll see later, the snow and low visibility earlier in the day scared most people away.

we make our ascent to the top!

ta-dah! lookin down lower Manhattan!

the Ooe's accomplish the impossible!

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

wow, no line at the empire state building really is some kind of bizarre miracle . . .

[tvshooter]

this is Sarah's first trip to the NYC let alone the ESB. pretty mindblowing...

i play mr. tourist photographer again

lookin uptown towards Central Park

the Chrysler Building

me being stupid ass happy for doing something ridiculous in the name of denim!

i will post more pic's of the Ooe's voyage and highlights to NYC. i know some sufu'ers are locals so it's no big deal, but i know you outta towners will enjoy the places i took the O.Y.W.T. more to come later after Quinn goes to bed.

[ThinFinn]

man i just love your updates...too bad your ooe leg is almost at the end...

but i'm pretty excited what the others will de behin you!? :-)...

[ILHE1S]

I'm so excited to see more pic's.

New York has always been on my top list of places to visit.

[tvshooter]

so, to really make my part of the tour complete, i had to do somethin really special. at first i thought i would go up to D.C and hit all the spots there. but, the truth is, my heart is in NYC. between workin and being a dad, i don't have much travel time these days. i decided to use a vacation day and take the chinatown bus from VA beach to NYC yesterday. Sarah had never been to NYC, so i figured that would be a great trip for her as well.

the bus departed wednesday night at 12:30 am. we slept most of the way up and we're there by 6:30 in the morning, which actually surprised me cause it usually takes about 7 hours to get up there. we got dropped off in Chinatown and headed down to the financial district first. my plan was do lower Manhattan first, Midtown then back to SoHo and the Lower East Side.

Federal Hall and Wall Street was the scene of the United States' first presidential inauguration. George Washington took the oath of office on the balcony of Federal Hall overlooking Wall Street on April 30, 1789. This was also the location of the passing of the Bill Of Rights.

NY Stock Exchange

Sarah on the steps of the JP Morgan building

walked down to Battery Park located at the very southern tip of Manhattan

it started snowing pretty hard, which added to the NYC experience, however, visibility sucked. if you tilt yer screen back you might see the Statue of Liberty

greeting the immigrants

blending in with the other Jews...

[tvshooter]

also in Battery Park is the badly damaged sphere that used to sit between the WTC. they turned it into a memorial.

a shot of Ground Zero. they blocked off all the fences ppl would stand and take pictures from. part of that is prob b/c there's alot of construction going on.

after getting caught in a ton of snow in lower Manhattan, we decided it was time to get some grub. hittin the sub

i totally forgot to take pic's of our breakfast, but we went to my favorite bakery in the world- Bruno's. it's on Laguardia Ave two blocks south of Washington Square

amazing desserts!!!!!!! no explanation needed.

[tvshooter]

after that Sarah needed a pair of shoes so we walked over to Broadway and looked around. eventually we crossed down into Soho and found a pair and took a sub from Prince St up to 34th.

stopped inside this neat little trinket shop for a few minutes. got Quinn some crazy frog sunglasses

after that we hit the ESB which you've already seen

Radio City Music Hall

Rockefeller Plaza. Sarah stood in front of the Today Show window with the backdrop of the plaza behind her.

Times Square. notice the 2010 New Years Ball above the Toshiba sign

[tvshooter]

and of course no trip to NYC wouldn't be complete if you don't go to the best denim shops in the country!

hit up BiG first. a police van pulled up just as i was about to take the pic

i only took two pic's at BiG. this one and the first. this wasn't my first time here but every time i walk in there i lose my breath. a few products that stood out that need mentioning. first- the new BiG jeans by PBJ. amazing quality, construction and fit. two- the Real McCoys A-2. i don't know shit about these jackets and honestly i'd thought i'd look dumb in one. NO WAY. jacket was amazing fit, quality. . .EVERYTHING. three- the staff. super friendly and cool. i brought my FC's with me to show them the before and after. I f'd up and forgot to take a pic of that side by side. Sarah couldn't believe it was the same denim. they enjoyed them as well. BiG's a great place, you can't go wrong with anything in there. trust.

after Big, it was time for some Self Edge! of course you guys know the deal. fantastic place as well. you can see from my pic that it's not very big, but i can assure you it is stocked with the some of the best clothes on the planet.

Again, everyone was extremely cool and laid back. Sarah tried on a bunch of stuff cause they had more stuff in her size. her fav is the MF dungarees. gonna have to save up for some of those. if you haven't seen MF in person or Iron Heart, you can't begin to imagine how well made and awesome those products are. the IH flannels, I could live in one of those for the rest of my life!

i showed the FC's to the guys there as well as the Jimmy C FH tour shirt. after that it was time to catch our bus back to VA. we made it back by midnight, so it was one helluva trip in a short amount of time. i'll probably have one more update before i send the jeans off on Monday. it's been a ton of fun, i hope you guys enjoyed my leg of the tour!

[aho]
