IRON HEART World Tour II 2011-2012 - Beatle Buster SBG
-
Alright, where did i leave off??? Oh yeah, almost through campus.
This structure right here is called Campanile (said: cam-puh-knee-lee) or otherwise, and much less often referred to as Sather Tower. Its a big ass clock that rings at the hour. The funny thing also is that it is much like a 10 minute warning if your class does start on the hour, because in berkeley, we are on Berkeley Time, which means instruction begins at 10 mins past the starting time in the course catalog.
Walking past Campanile and toward North Side, i pass Memorial Glade, which often will host a myriad of students on a sunny day relaxing in the grass or a game of Ultimate Frisbee or something. This day we all got lucky, and I got to take a photo of the Harry Potter De-Cal playing quidditch!
Back from school, now i can finish my post:
So just behind Memorial Glade is Evans hall, one of the buildings where many many many different groups use the smaller and larger classrooms to facilitate group meets (and by group i mean club) and where many discussion sections of different classes meet.
This here is North Gate. Not much of a gate, but it lets you know you are on the north side of the campus and i suppose that is note worthy.
This is Euclid, it marks a tasty food journey with favorites such as Vinny's(cheese steak and wings), Urban Turbun(Indian wraps, fuckin awesome!) and La Vals(pretty good pizza, amazing cobb salad) on the Left and Bongo Burger(quick fix, good burgers), Celias(slightly pricey, but good mexican) and an awesome corner store that has anything you need; from sodas and chips to bottles of wine and 4 loko.
This is my school. The Franciscan School of Theology. I am studying me some Jesus, but i promise that you will never hear me praise or force my opinions or thoughts or any of that on anybody here. For all intent and purposes, i am a secular ass muh-funker on the IHF.
But this is my school so i figured i would show ya'll.

Ok, so during the same trip that i took to my school, after ward i had homework…basically just a fuck ton of reading. But remember when i said that i had to make a pit stop in emeryville first? i brought what i bought along with me to take a few snaps in the library...
drum roll please…
Now i will be the first to admit, Hennessey, or "Heem" as it is often called in the bay area, is not exactly my type of drink. I don't like cognac, cognac doesn't like me. However, i am a fan of collecting one-offs. Futura, the graffiti artist who did this collaboration, is the newest in the collaborative parties to do artwork for Hennessey. Last year Kaws did a bottle, which i also own, and i expect more graffiti artists to be approached some time in the near future.Anyways, not to seem like all i did was go to the library and take photos of alcohol, i took a few shots of what i had to read and made sure to give you a grasp of how much it was..
my phone is about 5" tall, so its a fair bit of pages to go through.
And keeping in tradition of where i was reading,

That day concluded, but here are some photos from when my parents and I went out to celebrate their 25th anniversary…3 weeks later
(conflicting schedules suck ass)
WARNING: the following is a bunch of photos just giving a brief illustration of how we got where we went.
Anyways, heading away from my house and toward the restaurant:

yeah, 4/20 is celebrated with a big ass group of people smoking nearly countless amounts of blunts/joints and even a few edibles being shared.

Getting close to the end of my leg of this journey (PETE CHECK YOUR PM's! :D) but i'm not done yet!
Continuing from last time, we finally made it to the restaurant, Platano. It is a Salvadorian Restaurant that specializes in Pupusas (more on those later) and it was where my parents wanted to go for their 25th anniversary so who was i to stop them!?!?
These two are my parents!, or as i often refer to them, the parentals.
This is the menu of where we were. Seeing as i always get the same shit, 3 pupusas de queso con loroco (which is some kind of flower), i just thought it fitting to take the menu as i would be seeing it.
I always ask the waiter which beer they recommend, and today it was Suprema. Not bad, would def buy again, but then again it might be that i like most south american beers. (those that i have tried at least!)
The game (Niners vs. Detroit) was on, and what can i say, the Niners did what they do best.
So here came my 3 pupusas with cheese and loroco flower inside!
And here is how they should properly be dressed up (with surtido the cabbage stuff and sauce!)

Massive denim overload post coming within the next few hours. finalizing photos and cropping. in other news, its lunch time. till later.

So think i am the only member who has not posted a decent photo of what the WT jeans look like on their person, i am here to remedy that now:
Because i wanted to make it clear, those Flints arent the new retros, them be the 2004/5 retros…
(made in 2004, released in 2005)Now that i feel i have fulfilled my required fit pic, i also felt that it wouldn't be such a bad idea to share with you all my humble collection of denim i have. There are a couple of things missing, 2 denim jackets, some imperial duke shorts and a few random misbegotten pairs of jeans, but this is the bulk of it.
Also, the jeans are in no particular order, though some mean more to me…actually, no, they all mean a lot.
-
ohh. oh no. not done yet…
But before i post the next set of photos, i really wanted to bring attention to this first pair. I bought these in Paris at Printemps over 3-4 years ago and i really was never able to find much information about this brand; other than that its made in France and fits/feels a shit ton better than APC while keeping the same minimalist aesthetic. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Anyways, on with the show.
And the pair that i will be switching back to after my leg of this wonderful tour is over…
Thanks for looking everyone. Peace!

thanks you guys, it's been a few years in the making/collecting/fading, but there is still plenty left to wear there. I think as far as days worn and fading wise goes the order is, from most to least, SEXI14->710->66XX->5507->s2004/634S-B->rehnsen->1461 and finally the purple face pbj. tons of repairs on those first 4 mentioned and quite a few on the 634 as well, as they are my work jeans.
But alas, i feel this is where my journey ends. Today i wash the WT's and tomorrow i meet up with Pete who will take over from there. It was a lovely trip and i had a lovely time taking you all around (mostly) berkeley and a couple of places here and there. I wish all of you well. Peace and happiness ya'll.
-
Yeah, excellent leg from you DEP. Really enjoyed your updates.

^thanks fellas. Today i go Self Edge to meet up with Pete who i am sure will have one helluva leg!
