Unless you buy expensive calibrate-able (not adjustable) or NIST-certified ones hygrometers, they are essentially unreliable. Which sucks.

That looks like a Burberry collar, so maybe sniffing flowers is about right.

That's bullshit. I don't have to actively like & support the maker to buy their product, I just have to not hate them. And even then, if I really like their cigars, I can make certain concessions. In the case of The Paki, I don't like his cigars, and so far, in my experience, he has been douche'y. So I have no reason to patronize him.
And the thing with Cuba is a faulty analogy anyway, because Habanos SA really runs the Cuban cigar business - much more than Fidel et al.

Yah, "I don't like supporting Rocky Patel, because he didn't act the way I like at a corporate event" and "I'm gonna support Habanos Ltd, because Cuba's such a spiffy place" is like patronizing nazi germany because winston churchill didn't invite you to join his private club.
When have I ever said that I patronize Habanos because Cuba is such a spiffy place? More accurate would be that I patronize Habanos despite it arguably being a fascist shithole.

I also enjoyed Basterds. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, so it was a pleasant surprise. Pitt was awesome too.

I think we mighta talked about this at CJ, but my friends and I had some not great experiences with him at local Rocky Patel events. I mean, nothing earth-shattering, but enough that I don't care to patronize his buisness. And I don't particularly care for his cigars, so it's been no big loss.

Rocky Patel Decades Lancero. I like the RP smokes I've had, they're rapidly becoming my go to "I'm at a cigar store, may as well grab a smoke" smoke.
Fuck that paki.

A few days ago I bought roundtrip tickets to NY and a HP Mini 110. Thinking about returning it for a Toshiba NB205-210 for an easier time with Leopard.

That Lexus is for girls, Mike. The Jag or the Audi. I have a friend up Al's way that has an A5 and he's totally in love with it. Though I would recommend the S5, the A is great too. The new Jags are quite extraordinary from what I hear. Use that allowance!

I'm like, beyond tapped out, so no amp upgrade for awhile for me. I'm considering a transformer box + Peachtree Nova on the amp side, but nothing's gonna happen quick, so I'll see what pops up.
The bass is awesome so far. I'd never guess they were stats. The pleather is ballsacks though. My ears were sweating within 10 minutes. I kinda wish they were closed, because I'm flying to new york tomorrow, and I'd take the whole goddamn kit with me on the plane.
-
Holy shit. Let us know how it goes. I think there was some sort of sales sticker on the inside of the bottom left "sole", and it looks like it may cause a problem down the road.

I bought a ESP-950 from Mr. Chris. He was 100% great to deal with. Friendly, courteous, quick, and above all, honest. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to do business with him again.
-
Just got home and my 950s were waiting for me. i think i might seriously be in love with these things already. im not sure i've heard another electrostat yet that i would replace these with. outside of maybe upgrading my future hf-2s to hp1ks, i think im done with fullsize headphones.
-
The Vivo looks kinda interesting, but they only go up to 13 and according to Vivo, run short. So I'm out.

Five Fingers thread created.

When I was in SFO last weekend for the meet, I bought a pair of Vibram Five Fingers KSOs at In-jean-ious. I had gone up there with the intent of trying a pair on and possibly buying some, and when I got to the meet, it turned out that Icarium and his whole posse were outfitted with them. Their good recommendations didn't hurt to seal the deal. Anyway, the 47s fit me well enough, so I bought a pair in black. I've been wearing them exclusively ever since. They are totally fucking awesome. They do look kinda funny though, and in black, they look like some sort of water shoe, so be prepared to get shit from your friends. And people who don't give you shit have 1,000,000 questions for you, so you have to be ready to be a spokesman of sorts.
Verdit: pwn.

Saturday night, The Galaxy, Santa Ana: Paul Collins Beat, Pansy Division, The Avengers
Sunday night, The Echo, Hollywood: Paul Collins Beat, Pansy Division, The Avengers
This moring: Tired as fuck.
The Avengers were fucking awesome. Penelope's still hot and still got the pipes. Greg is my kind of guitarist, and two guys from Pansy Division do an admirable job of covering bass & drums. The setlist was 50% different from Sat/Sun...between the two nights, I heard damn near every Avengers track ever -and half of them twice. Totally worth the trip.
I never heard Paul Collins before. I guess he's had more than a few bands - The Nerves, The Beat, etc etc. Not exactly my kinda shit, but still pretty good.
Pansy Division put on a pretty entertaining show, and I'll say I'm a bigger fan now than I was previously. Unfortunately, they basically played the same set both nights. Highlight: at the end of the show, (Chris?) the bassist, who was by then in a shiny dress, ran around the entire venue squirting silly-string at everyone. Well some fat cholos at the Galaxy didn't take kindly to that, and infuriated'ly bitched for 10 minutes afterwards, which was hilarious.
