    Reactivation

    Great to see you again Messanjah, welcome back! It's such a shame that your time with us will be so brief, but it's great to have you back for the time that you're here! How's school going?
  4. RG, I didn't get the sense that Holder's was the type of place to take reservations...but if there's going to be a large group going to Holder's, do you think there's any chance to cut down on the wait time if someone gave them a call ahead to give them a heads up that there'll be an extremely large group showing up?

    My hula school makes similar courtesy calls whenever we eat at restaurants during our outings (I think they call a day or two before). Even those restaurants that insist that they will not take reservations are usually more than happy to make accommodations when they hear that the group is going to be *really* large.
  5. Absolutely amazing story...thanks for sharing Q!

    It appears that there are still a decent number of Levi's Outlets out there.


    (Also, I don't mean to give the impression that I'm pushing for a tailor. I'm not...just brought it up as an idea 'cause I know a couple folks who have had it done and when I came across the info for the Levi's Japan, just used it as a point of reference for price comparison. I'm not a jean connoisseur and am not savvy on the quality of tailors or how altered jeans look.)

    Found a pair of Levi's 517s on the Levi's Japan website that come in a 28W. The bad news is that looking at the currency converter, it looks like that pair Levi's in Japan run you about $140 (not including shipping). It'd very likely be much cheaper to buy the 29x32s that Baalat found and go with a tailor (if you're able to go the tailor route). Or you can try the EBay route if you're comfortable going that route (I found a handful of 517s listed that are 29x32s).

    I checked the Wrangler website and found a boot cut slim fit jean in 28x32, but they're not low rise. And they're only available in Navy.

    I did a little searching...but unfortunately, all of the other brands I found that offered the style you're looking for start out at a 30 as their base for that style. Crossing my fingers that someone knows of something that'll work for you!

    I have some friends that have a very difficult time finding a good fit for their jeans and have to resort to a tailor. Don't know if that's an option for you, but thought I'd throw it out there just in case you're unable to find exactly what you're looking for and have a decent tailor nearby.

    Thank you

    I've been meaning to post this for awhile...

    Thank you to everyone who contacted me via PM, tells or on Facebook over the last couple weeks. Your concern and kind words of support during my current rough patch have been so very touching and have been helping me stay positive when it has been very tough to do so. Its small acts of kindness like these that really exemplify how great the folks on this server are and am so glad that I made Justice my home.



    (For those not in the loop, I'd rather not detract this thread from its purpose and will not be going into the details of my recent events here....but do know that I am okay.)
  15. I'm unfortunately going to have to bail on the first set of matches on Thursday (got teh hulaz). But I'm still very much interested and would love to help out with any subsequent matches that may be scheduled in the future.

    (Arwen, you may want to add the date and time to the OP...well, if you're still able to edit the OP that is!)
  18. Hau`oli la hanau!! Hope your day is fantastic!

    Cool, count me in! I'll be bringing Argent Ember (Level 50 Fire/Emp Controller) for badging, but I'm open to switching out to my other characters when needed. I'm available most times except Thursday evening and all day Saturday (unforseen committments notwithstanding), just give me a holla when you want to get started!
  20. I've never done much in the way of PvP and a badge affair with PvP elements sounds like a fun way to give it a looksie. Do you have any idea on when you'd like to run the matches, or you just looking for sign-ups first and then seeing when is best for the group?
