Jazz Fever

It's playoff time. Let's do it for Stockton, boys.

Right now, I'm working on a feature story from I a trip I took recently to China. Chinese food in China is nothing like Chinese food in the U.S. But then, I didn't eat at the California Beef Noodle King. And I'm sure it tastes just like Panda Express.

ALIFE Unknown

UPDATE: A while back, I posted a series of e-mail exchanges, with whom I assumed was someone representing NY-based company. As it went originally, **I was trying to track down an ALIFE x Kangol beanie that I had seen in Tokyo a couple months back, but didn't have contact for anybody at ALIFE. Below is my initial shot at trying to get a hold of somebody...***

So the story is I that I did get in touch with one of the heads, and here's the thing -- somebody owning the url www.alife.com is pawning themselves off as the same company you will find at www.alifenyc.com. When I spoke with Alife, I was assured that "these guys are motherfuckers." The real Alife has attempted to purchase, but these "motherfuckers won't sell."

**I was trying to track down an ALIFE x Kangol beanie that I had seen in Tokyo a couple months back, but didn't have contact for anybody at ALIFE. Below is my initial shot at trying to get a hold of somebody -- straight mysto style, these guys. I eventually made my way to whom I needed to make my way to, but damn, this is about as good as it gets.**

Hello,
The phone number I refer to is the one listed on rivingtonclub.com — 212-375-8128. The e-mail address on alife.com—the one I believe you’re referring to—is the same info address I’m writing to now. In other words, it was Professor Plum. He used the lead pipe. It was hidden in the Library! Hah!

My pleasure,
But, what phone number are you referring to?
All we have on our temporary page http://www.alife.com/ is an email link.
Thx,

Hey Music Maker,
Thanks for the tip! Can I get another: why does no one answer the phone# listed?
Mysteriously,
Tracy

Dearest information address,
I’m trying to track down some heads from ALIFE. I’m producing a limited edition product section for our next issue. I was in Tokyo a month or so back and saw the Kangol/ALIFE Googly eyes beanie. I’d like to include it in this piece. So, I guess what I’m asking, Mr. Anonymous email address, Could you make use of your special computer skills and channel this request to the proper person?
