Saw Why? last night which was at least worth the $12 on a Wednesday night when I had nothing better to do. It was seated though, which was wack.

Where was it?

this is the VICE.com party so it will be free and definitely not seated.

Good news: starting in October, UPS will allow you to choose to get a text, email, or phone call notification before they deliver your package. Should make it easier to know when the hell they're going to show up. -- http://mashable.com/2011/09/14/ups_my_choice/

This doesn't seem overly useful. The UPS web site already tells you the day your package will be delivered. And UPS always delivers in my neighborhood within the same 2 hour window nearly everyday. So telling me the 4 hour window within which my package will be delivered is not really helpful.

It would be really cool if UPS's systems mapped out a delivery path / schedule prior to each day. Then throughout the day as the driver scans the packages ahead of yours in the queue as being "delivered" the system would continually update its delivery time estimate. As the driver comes increasingly closer to handling your package, the delivery time countdown would become extremely accurate.

They'd likely never do this though since it's safer to tell customers a crude 4 hour window and stick to it, as opposed to having exact estimates that can change.

I didn't know what they were either. After seeing the pictures I'm pretty sure I have never seen anyone wearing them locally.

I barely ever see anyone in real designer stuff (beyond like armani exchange, lol). theres one kid here with those sick camo lined junya screen printed jawnz and a bunch of koreans with PLAY cardigans and stuff.

Same here. But should we be surprised? Only a few boutique shops with tiny amounts of floor space and inventory sell higher end designer brands. $100,000+ cars are more commonplace than this ****.

All good points. Still, I'll take any additional info from UPS I can get. At this point I half expect their estimated delivery to just say, "We're thinking of a time between 1 and 10. Can you guess what it is?"

Music hall downtown

one large tribe of thom-a-likes has a nice ring to it

I bought a Signals by Luca Laurini sweater from Atelier when I was in NYC, and I don't really want to wear anything else ever again.

Anyone else have a hands-down favorite piece?

my cosmic wonder bomber. I can't believe I had it listed for sale at one point. After I realized pulling it off wasn't a big deal, it became something I wouldn't give up.

Amazon is currently testing a new idea (I think in some town in Oregon) where they will put automated package storage lockers in 7-11's. People whose zip codes are in the test range can opt to have their packages sent to the 7-11 lockers where they can be picked up. Packages can be retrieved by entering the tracking #/confirmation code. It's an interesting idea, especially for people who don't like having packages left at their doorstep/have trouble making it to the post office during their open hours due to work. Maybe it will catch on in bigger cities

Don't they do this in parts of Asia? I remember something like this when I visited Japan.

I can't remember from my trips to Japan, but I think they have something similar in Taiwan. 7-11's in general in Asia though are infinitely better than they are here... they actually serve real decent food and they sometimes even have free home delivery.

god maybe i should just give up and just purchase only margiela ad toj

Already had the pre-emptive text service in S. Korea years ago, it's pretty useful tbh, when you're used to e-shopping and wanting to know when your **** is gonna show up. Not everything is tracked.
Also have the text messages that tell you when your package has left the airport, when it arrives, when it's not signed for, when it's signed for - for that, I just have all those sent to the cell phones I don't use.
