Thanks to Tanabe-san [Kalavinka], I've finally pinpointed BP on the map. However, I have tried with no luck to get in touch w/ the folks there, at Tsuruoka Racing, Ltd. (more popularly known as BP); not surprised I haven't been able to contact them.
A number of folks have attempted to help me stateside, w/ no luck either.

REQUEST:

Is there anyone in the Saitama Prefecture that could pick up some replacement decals for me (I'm in Boston)? If you, or anyone you know, is nearby, I would love to hear from you. Please PM me w/ any details.

Tomity?

You could get the guy from velographicdecals.com/ to make you a pair.

pitboss

I have spoken with both Tomity-san and Stratton - nada.
Next to going over there yourself, I am not sure what you can do next (aside from, as I had mentioned in email, having the decals reporduced using the "Ballpark_Weiner" font)

Hey Wickendenstreet, are you from Providence by chance?

wickendenstreet

561, got a spare ticket to Tokyo lying around?

I think I'll probably go w/ Velographicdecals.

Is that Hitler? You terrorist.

wickendenstreet

I sure am! Want me to send you a Spike's hotdog from Thayer?

rodny71

hey, you look like me.

onetwentyeight 

I used to live on the corner of governer and wickenden.

oytie

that'd be papa hitler ?

raygunner

Dude, I want a Dell's!

Oh wait, East Side Pockets!

Do you work for Dash?

onetwentyeight 

I want some Italian food from Federal Hill.

wickendenstreet

Ah, so you were near the foxpoint area.

ESP - still good, but not the same as it was when it first opened. I met Paul and Michele when they opened in 97.

Dash?

How about Coffee Exchange? Great hangout/coffee.

Forget ESP, though - I want my damn BP stickers!!!

harryhood

i heard Ocean's coffee house went out of business?

wickendenstreet

Like Sicilia's Pizza? Looks like a place where you get a dead fish and a rose in a paper bag. Chicago-STYLE pizza, really good. But..... still not Chicago pizza.

How's about a reunion in Providence? As part of our tour-de-prov, we can stop by Circle A, and say hi to Chris B.

onetwentyeight 

Sicilia's pizza is the ****. I want to go out there at the end of May, so I can see some of my friends graduate and their senior shows. (I went to RISD).

wickendenstreet

Yes, Ocean is gone. Now a Vietnamese-run place. Not the same, but I hear their food is decent.

Speaking of Viet... I want some Pho!

Now, there's a Coldstone creamery next to Starbucks - nasty. Did you know that Coldstone gets their icecream from Sysco food distributors? And, remember Spiritus Fermenti? Great beer selection.

wickendenstreet

What year did you graduate?

Me - Brown POS (02). Brown is full of I-wanna-be-as-cool-as-RISD-kids. But, those who tried always managed to... not look quite right.

You know, RISD was given -yes GIVEN- that huge-ass rundown bank in downtown, previously owned by Lifespan, to be used as dorms. $$$$$$$$$

You should come back, and we can ride... to Sicilia's, if you really want to.

You're smart to be in S.F. I grew up in Cupertino.

drac_vamp

Cupertino! did you go to shows at the Library back in the day?

onetwentyeight 

I just graduated last year, 2005.. So I'm still fresh out. I remember the brown kids trying to befriend us really hard though, it was always really akward. But amusing. I tended to just stick with my little crew and hide though. Fun times, I miss it already. And Spiritus Fermenti. How many 100s of dollars did I spend there. Dear lord. They have my favorite beer ever which I've yet to find in SF. XINGU.

pitboss

Um, not even close.

My man Ernest.

edit: oytie to the rescue! My code hero...

mcatano

I had pizza in Providence that had cheese-filled tortellini on it. It was intense.

onetwentyeight 

Oh, that was from that place on Thayer. I forget what it's called. It's split with a taqueria.

wickendenstreet

sort of - i would prep up there w/ my marching band for shows!!! cupertino library - that's where all the rice-a-roni cars would park after school. i went to lynbrook.

ernest. i guess i was far off.

xingu. never heard of it. i'll look for it when i go there.

brown kids are losers like that. ha.

mcatano

Yeah, that's the one.

drac_vamp

ha, lynbrook! awesome.

my mom's street dead-ends into the football field. i went across the way to prospect, but grew up in cupertino for the most part.
