A Palestinian friend of mine told me that a nargilla (what you in your ignorance call a hookah:p) doesn't actually need water, it's just a tourist thing to make it seem more exotic. It's an elaborate pipe, okay?

My Arab friend got a hookah from his grandma when he was like 12 or 13. It was pretty sweet.

Yeah, I was pretty sure the water was optional for hookahs. Also, I remember in England, they had these places that looked like restaurants, but when you go in, they just had couchec with big hookahs on the table and signs advertings "shashi" or something, which I later discovered was flavored tobacco.

[QUOTE=Jon]What colours should I use to make stencils for a camo jacket?

I want a big Johnny Thunders one, for starters. I'll probably use this image (but without the text, that was just the first version of it I found):

No idea what colours to use to make it stand out on the camo though..[/QUOTE]
Any advance on what colours to use?

I have black and fluro-green fabric paint, I'm guessing they won't show up on camo.

For camo I'd go with a bright red or bright blue.

I'd go red myself.

Just made the stencil and did a quick mockup of how it will look.

I had to do it in Imageready because for some reason Photoshop won't work, so its probably not as good as it will be

Do you think its recogniseable as Johnny or shall I go with

?


(I based this stencil off of

instead of the image I said I was going to use)

Maybe glam rock people would recognize him, but I don't.


Although the fact that it says Johnny Thunders right on it, might show people.

Kickbutt dude, kickbutt.

Would the stencilrevolution link I posted be better?

I like the Stencilrevolution one a lot.

I searched the thread and couldnt find it but does anyone know what shoe companies dont use slave labor. I think new balance doesnt but I'm not sure. I know this isnt DIY related but this was mentioned before.

I think it kind of just looks like a general face, but the "Johnny Thunders" in the corner should help. The sprayed stencil looked good though.

Yeah, I would go with the stencil revolution one. It's more recognizable.




I have a question. Does anyone know how to fade a pair of black jeans to give them more of a grayish-black color?

Time. Lots and lots of time.

Just get some at a thrift store.

I've kind of been wondering about New Balance also. Wikipedia says they have five manufacturing plants in the U.S., but the lower-end shoes are made in Asia.

Seem better than average, at least.

Like I said, [url]http://nosweatapparel.com/[/url], [url]http://nosweatstore.com/[/url], and [url]http://www.nosweat.org.uk/[/url] though they seem to be offline for a bit.

Yo Eran, I took a photo today of a vintage Exploited flyer, they were playing at some tiny village hall in Hendon or something. All handwritten and stuff.

You want me to upload it?

Also, Nargilas only need water as much as bongs need water, they do the same job.

Oh, please do dude, sounds interesting.

Thanks, I'll definitely be trying this as soon as possible.

That's an awesome flyer Jon, where did you see it?

Last night I made a shirt of the cover of the residents album "duckstab." Pictures to come later.

The Sound Of The Suburbs exhibition at Church Farmhouse Museum in Hendon.

There are flyers for it in the library and stuff if you want to go.

Its free to get in but pretty short; don't expect too much.

Its got stuff about the Vibrators, Chelsea, etc, and the Torrington.

Cool bed though.
