Love From China. Or Huntsville, AL.

24.10.08 - Friday

First thing first. We have an “outdoors” store in Huntsville. Now, that’s not all that unusual, since there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities here. But the fact that it’s in a “trendy” mall, trying to market to the upper-class people of Huntsville kind of makes me laugh… And it’s also just weird seeing all this gear that I would consider Colorado-worthy sitting on shelves & hanging on racks. I guess I just find some things harder to adjust to than others… Haha…

Beyond my prejudices against this store (and the people working in it, who look like they’re trying WAY too hard to be what they imagine a Patagonia model would look like…), they did have some pretty sweet stuff.

Like this amazing hat!! I’ve seen serious hikers wearing this thing, and after trying it on myself, I would imagine it would be something I could own someday… But maybe not today. Since I live in Huntsville, Alabama and won’t be hiking along the Great Wall any time soon…


And here’s some love from Paramore. Decode’s one of their new songs on the upcoming Twilight soundtrack!
Mmm… Edward.
