Snoqualmie

i'm free next friday and i want clothes. i want clothes that don't require me to go to berkeley though. i'm willing to meet you anywhere in SF next friday. i'm willing to shop till i drop. or you drop. whichever comes first.

i know some thrift stores in SF. mostly they are on valencia by 18th.

SF is good. SF is fantastic, especially since I'll be here anyway for the thing where I make money so I can spend it on cheap clothes.

I could walk to Valencia and 18th after work and meet you there. How does that sound?

well, where are the thrift stores you know of though? eh, does it matter, i'll have my car. corner of 18th and valencia, next friday, i am there.

time?

The only ones I know are the giant Goodwill next to the 101 (don't ask me for further directions; this is me, for chrissake) and the Out of the Closet at Church and Duboce. I could spend a few quality minutes with the yellow pages and scout for further possibilities, since we have an entire week ahead of us here.

I get off work at 1. Depending on what I do for lunch, I could do any time from 1:30 to 2:30. What's your preference?

mmmmm, 2 (or 2:30), more sleeping in time for me!

well, there are several on valencia between 16th and 22nd, i think. i went there once with Kim. there's clothes by the pound, which is excellent, for example. i know the giant goodwill on van ness. and the scary, smelly giant goodwill crap outlet around the corner from the main one on van ness.

let's research for more on the internet! i love clothes!

also, maybe we can get jason to go. i bet he needs more crap clothes that he won't wash before wearing. (oh, disgust).

Best Thrift Store
This year our readers said no to paying $25 for someone else's rank-ass T-shirt. This year our readers chose Thrift Town, the queen bee of secondhand retailers, reigning over competition in sheer quantity as well as in fair prices. (T-shirts are sometimes still rank, but what the hell are you complaining about as you hand over your whopping $1.99 in would-be pinball quarters?) The first floor accommodates all your junior sports league tee/vintage nightgown/flowered polyester button-down needs, while the second floor covers home furnishings and unexpected extras, like typewriters and Paul Simon on vinyl. 2101 Mission, S.F. (415) 861-1132.

(all proceeds go to aid retarded citizens.)

Oh my god, yes! Thrift Town please! Clothes by the Pound also seems promising for no reason other than the name.

It sounds like a date. Or a menage-a-trois if we can convince Jason, which I think we should do even if he's not going to wash things. Ewwww.

they put the clothes in a weighing machine and it's like $3 per pound or something. it's pretty brill, really.

thrift town's two floors do sound really good. and is very close to valencia and 18th.

excellent! date, date, date!

Oh my god. I was really hoping that "by the pound" meant what I thought it did. It does! My predilection for strange heavy fabrics may get me in trouble there, but I have to experience the magic anyway.

Date! January 21! I'm so excited!

what?! you mean the 28th, right?

Sorry! Sorry! Yes! I do mean the 28th. I was going to add, "Why is it so far away?" I should have, because then it would have been clear that I meant next week and not this week.

I'm coming!

yey!

dude, as a denizen of the greater monterey bay area who has been talking about going up there to gottsi and whatnot, i want in on the next thrift extravaganza! one can never have enough $2 shirts!

Sweeeeet!

1. After this coming Extravaganza the First, my repertoire of thrift stores will be vastly expanded.

2. If you come up here and we go to Gottsi but then also go to thrift stores, the cheapness and expensiveness will even out and you won't have to feel guilty about doing something exorbitantly expensive at Gottsi.

3. If you can't find any double chocolate coffee toffee cookies near you, we can always stop by Whole Foods and pick some up for you to, well, probably eat in one sitting on the trip back down to Santa Cruz. It's okay, though. They're vegan, so they must be good for you.

Cheapness tomorrow!

Meet you guys at 2:30 at 18/v?

2:30, 18th/V, i am all over that corner.

like jam on toast.

like garfield on a fish counter.

i'm there too. this page is now the 5th hit on google for clothes by the pound, by the way.

Holy shit, it's an orgy of thrift! Can you believe that last week I was thinking of advertising on Craigslist for a thrift shopping buddy because I didn't think I knew anybody who wanted to be cheap with me?

This is gonna be great. I'm all over it like ectoplasm on that hotel ballroom in Ghostbusters.

dianna, you silly chick'n flavored goose, i love thrift stores. i worship thrift stores. over half of my closet was purchased from thrift stores. i will always go to thrift stores. i replied less than 10 minutes after you posted this with my fervent declarations of yes, yes, yes.

oy, if you put 'clothes by the pound' in quotation marks then it's number 1 on google!

eeeegggggggg-cellent. soon we will take over the world.

I am a silly chick'n flavored goose! Did you know that the word "smorgasbord" actually means "butter goose table"? It's a table full of butter and goose that you can combine in any way you like. Buttered goose, butter on two geese simultaneously, goose on butter, butter on goose with more butter added later, and so on.

Clothes by the pound clothes by the pound clothes by the pound. Ye GODS am I excited about this.
