^ that's a non-refundable 20% down payment to reserve your pair with the remainder due when the boots are ready to be shipped.

I think this is a great solution for keeping notes: http://www.33books.com/products/33-cups-of-coffee

Question though, why grind an entire bag at one time rather than grind the amount needed the morning of? To each his own of course and I can understand with hand grinding (if that's your only method of grinding) getting it all out of the way - it does suck.

Stumptown has a great geisha offering right now. 3 bags from different farms… A bit spendy, but I've enjoyed the limited beans I've bought from them in the past.

@ohighyo:

Skiing in ohio, not anything worth it. We go to Colorado my friend, a lot! Crested butte to be exact, gnarliest mountain in Colorado

You should make your way over to Silverton. It's a 7-8 hour drive (depending on weather) for me as I'm in Boulder, but well worth the effort and unlike any other resort in the state let alone the US.

@MikeC:

Has anyone been to legendary shows, not just legendary to you?  Mine are:
Woodstock 99
Phish 99/00 Millenium Celebration in The Everglades

And yes, I've read Blackheart's list.  All of her early shows are legendary…..

I was at both of those as well. They were good and I had more fun at the Phish show than I was expecting, but I'm not sure they hold legendary status for me from a musical perspective, but certainly from a 'what the f is going on around me'… And obviously they're legendary (at least Woodstock) because of all of the hoopla that went down.

Botch - Final show in Seattle 2002
Old Man Gloom - 4 day mini-tour selling merch for them up the west coast in 2003
Sigur Ros - Bowery Ballroom 2003 and Red Rocks 2008
Melvins - Pretty much every show
Isis - 'Oceanic' record release and many others.
Converge / Dillinger Escape Plan / Drowningman - 242 Burlington, VT 1997
Oxbow - if you get a chance, see them. Unreal.
Sunn performing with Xasthur and Boris at the Echo in LA.
Radiohead - Suffolk Downs
The National - Troubadour 2007
Phish - Florida Everglades NYE 2000. Not a fan, but growing up in VT and having friends drag me down made for a good time.

-Dates are approx.

@Omega:

Consider there are 75 shirts in all ( I thought I read 95 shirts were made), and each shirt is completely seewn together by one person, you will need to decide whether it is worth it to own a piece.

Pretty sure 95 is the number of SExDry Bones jeans they released last week.

JLQ: Oh. You cold soak or hot soak? If you don't mind,I would wanna check out the measurements. Thanks a lot

My concern is about the thighs also. Bbod size 32 thighs fits just nice for me I think , I rmb trying out 31 ,It was too tight for me.

My measurements for s710xx. The 1st soak was hot and 2nd lukewarm. Hope this helps.

Pre-Soak    1st Soak    2nd Soak
Waist            16.25        15.5          15.5
Thigh            11.5          11.25        11

@nakamoto:

hello. i hope to get some advice regarding the sizing of 710xx. i have a pair of IH BB-OD size 32 and triple works 3230FI size 32 also. so what size should i get for 710xx? 31 or 32 ?  thanks

I have BBx01 and BBxOD both tagged 31 - TTS for me. I have a new pair of s710xx that I've soaked 2x and just sent back to get hemmed - I went TTS with those as well (so, 31). I was most concerned with the thigh measurement and could potentially have SDO if my thighs were a tad smaller, but the s710xx (which I wore for 3 days prior to sending in for hem) fit similar to my BB's.

I can provide measurements if interested - presoak, 1st soak, 2nd soak - just let me know.

@FurattoHeddo:

Westvleteren monastery would be closed during the holidays:

http://www.sintsixtus.be/nl/brouwerijactueel.htm

I've never been, but until recently it was said that you could only get their beer at their monastery… However, a few weeeks ago they exported a very limited amount here to the US (not every state got it and even if a state did, it was limited to a select few liquor stores) to pay for a new roof. 4 bottle packs were ~$80 (USD) and sold out instantly, at least here in Boulder, CO. A store got it right down the street from me, but a line formed prior to the liquor store opening and as I was late to the party I missed out.

Nate was actually a part of releasing 2 amazing records this year Converge's AWLWLB (mentioned previously) and Old Man Gloom's 'NO'.

@madmonday:

^ very cool bags, nice pick up.

marco thanks for pointing out the outer material used on the stevenson N1, i just looked at the images & kind of did a quick one-for-one & missed all those little details

The Stevenson is super nice (although I picked up the IH in olive and was able to see both side by side at SESF). The Stevenson has a more refined look than the IH and the interior is completely Sherpa lined, where the IH has quilted arms. The Stevenson  lacks a chest pocket, which the IH has and is a feature I like. I found the IH to be more functional and in line with what I want in a jacket. In IH fashion it's also completely over-engineered - everything about it is super beefy, and as others have pointed out it's incredibly warm. One thing that still throws me is the zipper being reversed, but it certainly doesn't bother me.

I wear a small in IH shirts, but went with a medium for this.

Sirxlaughs is a standup guy. Super fast payment and great communication - would do business with again in a heartbeat.

^nice.

@elclintor:

Oh yeah! Have you heard their new record? its awemazing.

Yes. However, even though it's an EP, 'Natasha' is probably my favorite.

@urbanwoodsman:

Is there anything cool in Santa Monica? Food, shops, etc? I'll be there for one night. Tonight.

If you like burgers - Father's Office on Montana.

I wonder if there has been an influx of orders over the past few days after people see how these can turn out. Great pair.
