#1. summer friendly salt wash bleach sand tip: go to beach. wear jeans in water. run around. play in sand. lay jeans out to dry in intense sun light. don't wash for 1-4 weeks.

#2. friend with laundry tip: do you have a friend with washer/dryer? if so, repeatedly wash in hot hot water (whites). dry on hot.

#3. bathtub edition. similar to #2, soak in hot tub with a healthy dose of industrial strength stain remover.

when done to adequate fade, cast with green, red, blue, gray, or black dye to desired results.

pix of each please.

please dont do number 2. we're in a serious drought

shasta:

pls advise on v., especially on the matter of fausto maijstral.

i just finished a chapter about fausto i-iv! it's my favorite so far.

Hi Steve,

Have you given this any thought? This is from PitchforkMedia, and it always strikes me as funny-strange:

Most-read-reviews

* 1. Ricardo Villalobos Thè au Harem d'Archiméde
* 2. José González Veneer
* 3. Electric Six Señor Smoke
* 4. Devendra Banhart Niño Rojo
* 5. José González Stay in the Shade EP
* 6. Sinéad O'Connor Sean-Nós Nua
* 7. Nas Hip Hop Is Dead
* 8. Amadou & Mariam Dimanche à Bamako
* 9. Nelly Furtado Loose
* 10. Brightblack Morning Light Brightblack Mo...

There's like accents and stuff everywhere!

Thanks in advance,
Pete

Also there's a typo in there. It should be "Nás".

(nabisco explained that once, something to do with search engine weirdness, sadly enough.)(may not be the official shasta answer however)

Should be 'Thé au harem...', too.

oh la la, quelle surprise!

hi adam

hi Jon! How are you?

Shasta-

A: Proper ediquette for apologizing for accidentally dropping in on someone mid-ride?

B: Best story of yours wrt dropping in/snaking that happened to you/ you witnessed?

-gr80

when my brother was 19, he and another dude rode the same wave. the other dude punched him in the mouth and knocked out 2 of his teeth. brother made lots of money off of it

i was politely, yet forcefully told to paddle back to the beach once after accidentally dropping in on a guy. i apologized again and the guy just pointed to the shore while staring me down. i just stayed far away from him for a few more waves and then went in anyway. he paddled in shortly after and was with some old-timer beach boys and some very tough looking younger guys. i got off pretty good, considering.

DON'T MAKE THEM COME AND GET YOU

so shasta / msp -- we go?

Shasta-

Does gravel really help "cool you down"?

-gr80

oh shit...

grady... i used to frequent a place with heavy heavy localism: silverstrand/channel islands harbor/hollywood by the sea... one time i saw some poor dude getting his teeth bashed in on a parking block.

palos verdes had insane localism, i think driven by san pedro dudes?

santa barbara bigspots like rincon when it got epic became pretty localized in a matter of an hour.

i used to get into it with asshole vals but that shit is fruitless. usually the local vibe is enough to keep things at bay.

don't drop in and snake waves, there are plenty of waves out there and if i started getting bummed, i'd find less congested breaks.

in north shore i'm usually in pretty good company so that's not an issue so much (that and i'm usually scared shitless at hectic breaks in general).

where is msp?!?!?!?

Thanks for the good word Shasta; my story took place at Diamond Head (my usual break).

I'm still kind of learning how it goes and wasnt paying attention, talking to a friend etc. So all of a sudden this wave is breaking right on me and I didnt have time to duck dive so it was kind of like paddle or get pummeled, and so i paddled and then realized i had fucked over the guy behind me.

LESSON LEARNED THO.

...i am not a surfer, but i've heard that some of the worst localism is found in OR. like, come back and yr car is completely trashed style

(better than yr face, obv)

milton and steve s.,
sorry to miss ya.

tuesday morning was crashy busy and i had no time. monday night was a last bit of socializing with our hosts, etc.

another time. i have a feeling our next visit will be sooner than this last one was. (there's a couple impending weddings i can foresee us attending if possible.)

anyhoot... issues shop was kinda cool. sort of insane to see sweet little old piedmont ave get a newstand with obscuro cassettes and moog tees. fun to see were-bird even if it was just a half-awkward couple minutes.

i laid down a couple dimes on a manhole in a dangerous intersection or two. for next time,
m.

is steve still in ny?

Sorry to miss you this weekend dude.

steve, bummer to have missed you, too, altho yr bro status is seriously in question if "art" is more important to you than table tennis. believe.

Steve Shasta,

What are the answers to the MCAT?

Thanks,

E

ps - i need them by tomorrow, thx

Hey Steve,

Do you remember when you bought the DVD of Short Cuts in Amoeba and you pointed to the cover picture of Robert Downey Jr. in a Stone Roses shirt and you said to me "he must have been sooo high"?

Do you think, that just maybe, he actually likes The Stone Roses?

Adam

NYC is my new home.

The subway is a porno...

STEVEA SHASTER

DO YOU KNOW ANYONE AT UCSF? PULL SOME STRINGS, MAAAAAAN

_E

you trying to get into their med school or internship/residency program?

my best friend just finished his md/phd at columbia and is in residency at UCSF. another good friend went there for Pharmacy and i believe is teaching now.

med school---tho pops did some of his residency there, i think? all i know is that he lived in the haight during the 70s and the dope fiends called him "little dr cool."

rdubz:

which dept?

I'm just trying for med school, full-stop. Though my dad did some of his plastics residency there, I believe.

your dad will probably pull much more weight than any of my friends. jaxon's bf is currently in the program (as discussed). you should contact him for contact info.

maybe i will!

i mean, UCSF is basically the hardest school to get into in the country, so i'm not really holding my breath. tho i would like to do the MD/MPH program they have with Berkeley.

Also

Steve Shasta,

My friend lives in Japan and told me that if you and yr pals ride around on scooters and there's more than three of you, you are considered a "scooter club." Because of this, they got t-shirts made calling themselves the R0lling Pl4yer's Club, with nick names like "the R3verend L4rry L0ve" and "Fr3sh Fruit."

Is this true about scooter clubs and, if so, are my friends being sort of mean?

-RW

ps - what do you konw about Yellow Corn?
