Hey San Francisco #menswear folks!

We’re doing a mini-meetup of sorts this Saturday (that’s tomorrow):

  • Where: Rickhouse, 246 Kearny St., San Francisco, CA 94108
  • When: 8 p.m., Saturday, March 16
  • Who: edwinzee, pause-do, myself and you!

Super informal and open to everyone — readers, bloggers, enthusiasts and lurkers alike. Enjoy some good booze and meet new people! 

Sorry for the super short notice (and I know many of you have St. Patrick’s Day plans), but I’d like to see you there if you can make it!

The “Do it for the Shocked Velociraptor” Meetup - February 29th

ordinaryglory:

Who remembers when Kiyoshi almost killed Kyle? I do! Fortunately for Kyle, Kiyoshi’s away on business in the Bay Area for awhile and is unable to make it to the next Meet-up on 29th. 

Hopefully this time around, Kyle can keep from turning jovial conversations about jawnz into real life re-enactments of Mortal Kombat matches. All in all, you should come.

With that said, here are the specifics:

Where: Miller’s Pub. 134 South Wabash Ave.

When: Wednesday, February 29th at 8pm.

Why: Why not? Tommy (suitsandboots), Meredith (canarycoal) and few others may show up.

Come meet up with some familiar faces, new faces, and the like.

-Sam

I sincerely miss hanging out with these fine folks. Please do attend!

One minute they’re friends engaged in a light chat about jawnz, next thing you know Kiyoshi just snaps… but no one gave a damn. He does this all the time. 

Again, not above posing like a complete dork in photos. I call that look “shocked velociraptor”.

From last night… Before Kiyoshi threatened to kill Kyle

Super fun(ny) times last night with Meredith, Sam, Tommy, Eric, Kyle, Collin, Nat and Wes (what’s your tumblr name, dude?) at the Halsted Harp, who was really cool about letting us stay until absolute closing time on a Sunday night.

A final reminder. I’ll be there tonight along with a host of other fine folks. Join us!

2) Tommy (suitsandboots), Kiyoshi (thesilentist), Eric (theodinspire), Meredith (canarycoal), Ernest (smileifyourewinning) and MANY others will be in full effect for the festivities.

No need to RSVP this time. If you can make it, great. You can check in here, if you wish to.

If you’re in Chicago, then this should be tremendous fun.

Also, I should sidenote that Nat (natw), Noah (noahzagor) Ian (blazerbeams) and The Midwest Style (themidwestyle) have stated they’ll be in attendance.

As always, this meetup is open to any and all — no Tumblr, no #menswear enthusiasm necessary.

Chicago Meet Up - June 23rd

suitsandboots:

ordinaryglory:

Two things I can promise:

1) If you come to the meet up, you’ll have a great time. Ask everyone who showed up to the last one in April hosted by Jesse of PTO. A definite good time.

2) I don’t care how many well dressed ladies and gents happen to show up, I will see to it that we look the exact antithesis as the group pictured above.

With that said, here are the specifics:

Where: SmallBar on Division. 2049 W Division St.

When: Thursday, June 23rd at 7pm.

Why: Why not? Tommy (suitsandboots), Kiyoshi (thesilentist), Eric (theodinspire), and few others may show up.

Come meet up with some new faces, familiar faces, and the like.

Cheers,

-Sam

Another reminder for this because it’s going down this week. I think it’s always good to get out and meet some people from the Internet IRL. Stuff can get serious sometimes and gatherings like this are a great opportunity to keep things light and honest (we’re all just regular people who happen to have a  strange obsession).

People I know of who should be there:

My name tag for the event:

Hey folks, just another quick reminder about tomorrow’s meetup. I’ll be there! So will other great folks! And there will be alcohol!

I plan to show up. Honestly. Although some rumors are brewing that the General Assembly will need a special session to deal with some lingering budget issues, I’m hoping it’ll be hammered out before this meetup.

Regardless, please do come if you’re in the Windy City!
