 		Store vs. Comic-Con
I bought a black t-shirt through the Slusho.jp store. The website said that the shirts ran tight, so I got an XL instead of a Large, and it fits great.

However, I bought an gray XL shirt that came from Comic-con off of eBay, and it is HUGE!

The manufacturers of the shirts are different. The store shirts are made by Bay Island Sportswear, and they are decent quality. I assume the t-shirts they bought for Comic-Con were the cheapest they could find, since they were giving them away for free.

Has anyone bought a gray AND a black shirt through the store? Were they the same brand, and did they fit the same?

Or, does anyone have a Large comic-con shirt they want to trade for an XL?

 		omg last night I had a huge Yankee's connection but now i can't find it. I thought the Yankee's might have a correlation because on Rob's myspce page he mention's eating grimaldi's pizza which is in Brooklyn, i thought it was the Bronx but it wasn't so i thought the Yankee's thing was crap. now if i could find the Yankee's reference again...

Rob actually made a comment on Hud's page:

"Musta been all the grimadi's last night. just stay outta my room, ok?"

he spelled grimaldi's wrong though lol.

For all the non-USA'ers.

They now ship the Slusho shirts world wide.

 		YAY FINALLY
tinag222 here
Better late than never....

Today the package came containing 2 slusho tshirts (man's black, medium and large) and one black slusho cap. Included were two strips of Japanese newspaper that appears assbackwards.

On one strip, the left page reads (33) and the other side reads (4). On the reverse, the left side is (3) and the right side is (34).

pg 4 is the basepall guy and looks like yoshima 15 or whatever on the front of the jersey, the writing on the left of the photo includes the numbers top to bottom: 3, 6, and 2. There's a box on the topright corner with 4 columns of numbers, the two outermost bigger than the two center

0121
0100
0000
0010
0210
1211
0020
0100
0122
------
1894

The other page top is (19) and (1Cool on one side and (17) and (20) on the other. Baseball guy, (giants?), some horses, a couple guys in business suits, kids by an icecream looking style truck, a wall of something and part of a parade pic it looks like.

At the moment I don't have a way to get them on the computer to share images but will eventually.

Oh and the shirts also had the worn look.

The downside is I still have no idea what the paper actually says.
The upside is now I can put off doing laundry one more day now that I got another shirt to put on! Razz

Has anyone actually translated these pages yet? If not WHY NOT? Where is the guy who did the 1-18-08.com recipe translation? I really think we've overlooked these clues.

We can probably solve this mystery once and for all if someone just gets me the name of the Japanese newspaper and I can take a walk down to J-Town and pick up a copy.

Here in Los Angeles, and especially in J-Town (or Tokyo Town, Little Tokyo, whatever you want to call it), those newspapers are literally sitting on the street by the thousands. Most of them are free newspapers, and the locals read them and toss them. Los Angeles is a melting pot, so each culture has their own forms of media for information and entertainment, including newspapers, radio and TV stations, and websites.

Being that Abram's company is a few miles away over on Cloverfield (I used to work a block away from it, and we had monthly parties at the Cloverfiend park), my feeling is that his ad boys went to J-Town, grabbed a stack of the newspapers (remember - they're free and available by the thousands), gave them to the company that packs and ships the t-shirts, and told them to use it as stuffing to give the packages an authentic feel.

I don't think there is anything to the stuffing. It just looks cool and adds a degree of realism to the viral marketing of the movie.

The name of the paper is the Nikkan San (Japanese Daily Sun):

Quote:
The Daily Sun, since starting issue in 1984 in Los Angeles, is the daily newspaper which is regularly read in many people in south California, New York and Hawaii Nikkei society.


I have a post about it on my blog here: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/08/slusho-newspaper-is-nikkan-san-japanese.html

I also have an archive of some of the pages included in the original orders: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/08/slusho-orders-contain-japanese.html

No it is definitely connected in some way... I read somewhere that there is an article in one of them that is about the owner of tagruato.jp, or something like that. Sorry to bring up old stuff... but I just though with the neumber of [humor] and [spec] tags around on the front page, we're not really doing much important at the moment Razz.

You are probably think of the video from this thread: Any Clues in Slusho Shipment? I Got One!

It wasn't Tagruato, it was Tokio Marine Management - the guy in the video thought the websites looked similar (they don't IMO)

Sorry, it's not a clue. It's just pages from a real Japanese newspaper, that they got for free and added to orders for fun. Everyone got different pages, and they we not even all from the same date.

 		Well, my mom ordered a hoodie for me for Christmas on 12/2. She called me at work and ended up telling me, only because she hasn't received it yet and received no replies to her emails to the Slusho store asking about status. She was also worried becuase it doesn't look like a legit store. I had to tell her it was fine as I ordered and received the hat a while back.

Anyone have luck communicating with the Slusho Store?

Yes, I emailed them when I placed my order, and they emailed me back the next day.

BTW, I ordered a sweatshirt on Nov 29th, and received it on Dec 17th. Hopefully they will get stuff out a little quicker for the holidays.
