Self Edge x Superfuture 004.SFO SuperParty
The fourth Self Edge x Superfuture party is coming up on Saturday May 1st and is already turning out to be the best one yet in terms of attendance and planned events.
Our very own Sidney Lo has produced a book which encompasses what we do here on Superfuture. On a personal level the book has left me speechless; it's a testament to his photography skills and a documentation of the project which led Sidney through the world over a three year period. The book is titled "Taking Pictures of People Who Take Pictures of Themselves" and will be released at the party on May 1st.Self Edge x Superfuture 004.SFO SuperParty & Sidney Lo's Book Release

Something interesting, we're not sure what they're sending_Just as a note to all of you attending this fine event..
We will not be able to store any backpacks, shopping bags, jackets, bikes, purses, etc in our back room.
Our stock has quadrupled since the last party and there's little to no room in the back any more.This year there will NOT be an RSVP list, but we'll have a capacity limit for the event, and once that limit has been reached we will enforce a one-in / one-out policy via our large but somewhat friendly bouncer named Big Travis._

Oh yeah, I'm sure I'll win best dressed (Just kidding !). LandoCal and Beats have excellent shots at the prize, though.
LandoCal and Beats – you are far more dedicated SuFu members than I am. I'll definitely be there, Saturday May 1st...I'll get there early (like at 5 PM). But unless I suddenly won the lottery, I wouldn't fucking fly around the world for that shit. I mean, the London meetup is a good example...I have a cousin who lives there. So if I visited London, it would be to stay with/visit him (we are very close, he's practically a brother to me). Now if a London meetup were to happen while I was in London, then sure...I'd show up. But otherwise ? No.
I guess I have much higher priorities in life than denim. Also, though I like you guys (on this forum) a lot...I wouldn't call our friendships meaningful or deep just yet. It takes a loooong time for me to get to that level with anyone -- and there's no substitute for face-to-face time as far as that goes. This may surprise you -- but -- as far as my personal life/personal time goes, I'm actually very private and don't give it away freely.

@ Shubz, I totally relate to what you are saying but you (and I) are an amalgam of the old and new school, whilst we may embrace technology in lots of ways we still adhere to older paradigms of interaction/social enagagement etc.
I conjecture that humans are now evolving differently in this respect; distinctions between on/offline, virutal or otherwise, are probably less important to people Simon's age. Perhaps I could make a crude analogy; as computing migrates increasingly into the cloud then we may see other human attributes being up-streamed into other substrates, e.g.: google (etc) is a type of exo-cortex taking over mundane computing tasks that you might previously had to work out (shock, horror) on your own (using something called a book). Similarly, facebook et al may represent to many people a completely viable social space, in no way inferior to f-to-f. I do know a few people playing Wiorld of Warcraft who swear that their relationships are just as valid as an RL ones.
Just my little ramble…
@ G - you da man.

Said it before i would be very interested in a meet up. Only need the date to say yay or neigh for certain

Sounds like a really nice party/sales event. I just wonder they don't even have some pairs of really desirable jeans in the raffle. I mean you gotta purchase an item to even be entered and all you get is a $100 gift certificate IF you are lucky? At least have some really desirable $400 pairs of jeans in there if the entry price is as high as a purchase at SE. I know it's for the camaraderie and all and not for the prizes but it still seems a bit lame for lack of a better word not to have more attractive prizes, especially since the $100 certificate goes right back into their cash register and is possibly accompanied by some additional money to stem a bigger purchase. I guess I'm too thrifty for that kinda stuff.

I like to visit London someday and the meetups. I like to visit other country too and my favourite TV channel is , the discovery channel, "travel and living " and Globe Trekker and Ian Wright is funny .
And also from that discovery channel is also where i first saw the Iron Heart jeans and the Boss on the "Jeans Confidential ". -
do you remember the exact name of that report on discovery channel ?
We can do anything

I believe it is called "Blue Jeans Confidential". I may be wrong. I can't view the video at the moment but am working on finding the video as I am sure Beats is as well, to post here…
