What are your jeans doing today?

[not too tight]

Today I went with my lady as she got a tattoo done by her close friend. I took a nap in my PBJ 005s on the porch during the majority of it.

I just finished a 3 day trip in Vancouver BC, it was pretty fun. My dad went up for some statistical conference, and I decided to tag along with my bike and my mom haha.

Anyway, we showed up kinda late at night on friday, got a bite to eat, and the day after I went on a bike ride around stanley park along the seawall.

It was a nice ride, really nice weather, kinda just a perfect day.

I also saw some guy stacking rocks which was pretty cool, he was really into posing for the photos.

I was thoroughly impressed, I mean, being able to balance things that well is just impressive.

That night we went to Tojo's for dinner, which was simply amazing. I forgot to take a picture of the sushi platter, but aside from that we got the Toro sashimi, and Wagyu, which were both experiences in their own.

and

and for dessert, green tea creme brulee and black sesame panna cotta

It was probably one of the best meals I've had, at least in terms of japanese food. The sake was great too. If you ever have the chance to try Wagyu, ignore the fact that it's expensive if you can, just eat it. It's worth it.

That was the first day, I'll post the second and third a little later just to avoid completely flooding this thread with pictures.

The gf and i went cycling and had a nature walk today. Great weather to cycle despite recent rainy days here in Singapore.

This guy probably has a sensor with a 5m radius. Had a hard time trying to get his picture

I could sure use an update from Uganda...dkatz where are you!?

[k4727]

crappy cell-phone pics are probs not worth posting but tonight my jeans and i went to see the arcade fire and then got into trouble with the parents. ARCADE FIRE WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT

[-Z-]

The Suburbs is a monumental album...hoping they come to minneapolis again, my sister in law just saw them in boston and was floored by the performance. I would pay handsomely to see them...getting excited for the national and interpol now though!

[FACE]

yo lando, what do you do? and why the move? and DAMN thats a thick patch

[jbphoto23]

first post here, just a quick shot of me and my girl at the Orange County fair, will do more extensive stuff in the future

[dkatz]

^ Hah, oh the OC fair... where all the people I thought didn't actually exist in orange county all congregate in one place.

Been off the radar for a few weeks. Working my fucking balls off... launched the financial education component of one of my projects (to great response - we apparently had over 100 members show up to one of the youth clubs in Arua for the third session of the curriculum!), now ramping up to launch my next project on Saturday. Hoo boy!

Actually spent last week in Kenya for a research and staff training. Around 100 people total - from our Africa offices, headquarters and some people from partner organizations who attended for some methodological training. Despite only having 10 months of training, they decided I should be a "team leader" for the small group-work components of the training. Hah! I fudged my way through.

Pretty great week both professionally (learned a TON, made excellent connections) and personally (met some pretty rad people, loved being in a different environment)

Two Saturdays ago, I went with some colleagues to do a bit of field work in the East (Mbale district). No pictures, but learned some pretty fascinating shit on a partner organization's operations (and that you can use pig intestine to prevent termite infestation of banana plants). We then hopped on the bus with the rest of the Uganda crew as it passed through Mbale on Sunday.

Twelve hours later, arrived in Nairobi and piled into a couple of guesthouses where everyone else attending the training was also staying.

At the border, some preventative medicine, courtesy of the Kenyan government:

Went out that night for a bit. Nairobi is fucking BIG. I hadn't really thought about it, and had assumed it would have a similar feel to Kampala, but it's toooootally different. I felt like a country kid in the big city - craning my neck to see the tall buildings, taking up as much space as possible on the (well-lit!) wiiiiide sidewalks, marveling a escalators and indoor malls. Had some over-priced but delicious Japanese food (been a LONG time), then a handful of us went out to a bar (pretty empty since it was Sunday).

I was at the bar ordering a beer when this broad next to me hands me a shot of tequila. I graciously accepted and wound up chatting with her and her friend. They were both probably in their late 30s. She was a massively plastic-surgery-ed up (HUGE fake boobies) Brazilian real estate agent who refused to let me speak Portuguese with her. He was a profoundly hammered Kenyan "preacher" who kept telling me he was straight and then asking me if I was suuuuure I was straight and telling me I was attractive. Entertaining duo. At one point she bought another round of tequila, and automatically put the salt and lime on her (abundant) cleavage for me. I respectfully declined.

Next morning we headed to Limuru to where the training would be held - a Christian conference center. It was beeeeeautiful - green, misty, clean, hilly. Running trails right outside reminded me that I fucking love running (just not in Kampala). And it was COLD. Apparently even Equatorial Africa is fucking chilly when you get to ~6300 feet altitude!

Not too much to report on for the week - mostly lots of professional development. What was pretty funny though is that since it's a Christian retreat center, they did not "sell nor allow" alcoholic beverages. So naturally a Freshman year dorm mentality prevailed - we all brought booze in our bags and proceeded to hang out in different peoples' rooms each night, boozing it up on the sly. Fun!

Had a big bonfire dinner one night. The heat was quite welcome

Thursday morning (a week ago today) we went to Naivasha Lake, to this peninsula which apparently used to be an island up 'til just a few years ago. Apparently it used to have little to no wild-life, until the makers of Out of Africa decided it was the prime spot to film their movie, so they moved in a fuck ton of "African" animals from around the country and made the place a stereotypical safari-scene.

A bit hard to see, but a huge herd of springbok and wildebeest running by in the distance:

Tellasons enjoying the view

Aaaaand back in Kampala I am now, sleep deprived and stressed as a motherfucker... as per usual. Gonna be crawling to the 19th, when my family's coming to visit and I'm taking a couple weeks to travel with them. Woo!

[-Z-]

Haven't done B+W in a while, wanted to drive to a certain spot i've been looking forward to for night photography, but was waaay too drunk, so i wandered my neighborhood instead...

dinner: pork with cabbage, shiitake, scallion, other veggies in lettuce wraps + sriracha and hoisin...

1st bottle of wine...

Then to the roof...and another bottle of wine.

ahhhhhh.

[-Z-]

and on to the photos...

[jyoni]

Haven't given The Suburbs a good listen yet. If you're up for it, Zach, Birthday Suits are playing this sat at The Hexagon. They tour so much these days, it seems harder to catch them here!

[ThisSunday]

Yesterday my jeans stood on line

to see a free screening of this

[LandoCal126]

A few days ago I decided to use a free bottle of Denim colored dye on the pair of Vans Sk8 Hi's I purchased in NY. Below are the results...

must spread lando..

[beatle]

those turned out pretty cool, love the lightness/ shade of blue you got there..

[-Z-]

jeez Lando...that looks sweet, and maybe you can achieve some cool canvas fades on those sneakers??!!

anyway, I'm feeling a bit like another post today, my jeans went hunting for photos at a lovely little spot under a bridge in Saint Paul coming up out of downtown...i'd seen it from the road, but never been down here. It didn't disappoint.

Lowertown Depot

My way in to get some of the more interesting shots...

some artwork

pipes and old broken down utility features are always interesting..

Almost didn't take this picture because my camera can barely do the texture justice, peeling paint with a nice splat of blue paint, I have a picture of me taking THIS picture which looks hilarious, I'm hunched over looking through my camera straight into a solid metal door...I'm sure if somebody was watching me do this they would wonder about my mental health!

I do this for shots like these...worth it every fucking time!

check the WAYWT (denim) for my denim outfit extraordinaire, as well as the stupid shot of me (with my skulls falling off my ass i might add) shooting into a wall....night sufu.

yup.

[ranonranonarat]

cool job lando. i tried dyeing one of my canvas tote bags a couple of weeks back, black, and they came out pretty much the same colour as yours. a little disappointing but just glad they it doesnt look like crap.

cool pics,exactly how my holidays will look like.

[stuntastic]

Yesterday my jeans did a whole lot of cleaning. And went under the needle for the first time.

Had a few pairs of jeans I'd like to wear, but had holes in certain areas that made them useless. I don't want coins falling out of my pockets and holes in the crotch area! So I decided to try out patching things for myself, rather than going to a tailor and wasting money.

Patched a pair of Evisus. Shittest job, no pics.

Second try, Sugarcane Okinawas. Needed to reinforce the crotchal region.

Shit job, but it gets the job done.

Later on worked on some jeans I bike in and did the whole X pattern stitching or whatever. Now I can bike in these again! No pics as well.

Later on...

My lady, my buddy and I went to Cafe Du Nord to catch The Phenomenauts.

Shit pic.

More eventful day today. Sort of.

I need some sleep.

[k4727]

My jeans will be spending 18 hours in a suitcase in this plain, im excited to post some WAYJDT from karachi (PK)

[Grim Ryan]

Been a pretty boring week, spend most of my time job hunting and interviewing at different places. Picked up a new suit for my interviews because my main suit was at the cleaners(went to a bar after graduation with some friends and I sad in the corner of a booth, which meant sitting on a fist sized piece of chewed bubble gum that was hiding in the dark).

While I was at the mall getting my cheap ass suit I dropped into the lego store. Made me want to go to my parents house and dig out my crate of legos so bad.

[Obbigood]

Saturday, went to the annual summer Fair at my area.

Here I am in my Oakland neighborhood, walkin' around on a beautiful Saturday. Sorry, it's been awhile since I've posted...life has not been kind to me regarding spare time. I picked up a Vietnamese lunch to go (veggie spring rolls and tofu salad) at Miss. Saigon first...The place is known for great vegetarian offerings even though the sign only mentions seafood. Here I am with "Timmy" the owner :

I swear, Miss. Saigon serves up the most delicious Vietnamese food

in The Universe !

Met a friendly, handsome young man named "Ed" while

walking up the hill back home. Ed -- an already published

and aspiring writer -- recently moved to Oakland from NYC !

(while LandoCal seems to be doing the exact opposite !)).

Ed didn't mind being published on SuFu.

What I'm wearing :

Iron Heart Super Tan Belt from SESF (W32)

<The waist on the 301S has gotten looser thanks to

constant wear>

Iron Heart 301S from SESF (W28)
