This, plus we have some nice meetups in the Bay Area.


on a bit more serious note, perhaps the best result of me joining SF was getting to meet very interesting and wonderful people irl... globetrotter, emptym, bbaquiran, gus of course!, imatlas, shak(?), comrade, archivist, and the other bay area sf guys who I met through a couple of meet ups... I also have/had online friends I met here that I hope to have a beer with someday... kyle, stitchy, mr. g, alter, thomas, ratboy, flmm, derek, edina, conne, matt, slim, eason, hoss, douglas, etc. etc.... so for that alone- sf still has its appeal to me.

oh and the buttsechs at those meet ups after you get soused are intense!

I assume the traffic numbers are way down compared to 4 years ago.


IIRC, this is true for virtually all non-tumblr/fb/twitter/social media pages.

We have 40+ Styleforum members and their dates attending the meetup hosted by Proper Suit tomorrow night in San Francisco. There will be many new faces and out of town guests. New people are discovering Styleforum everyday.

Seems that SW&D is livelier and healthier than CM these days. I used to hang out in CM exclusively but these days spend most of my time on the other side.

It feels like the internet in general is a little tired of talking about suits.
