I want a pair of vans... I did a search at the vans site and found that only ONE store in the whole state of Oregon sells them.



I love the ones Al is wearing in the PH pictures. But if you look at the Van's site they only have 8 different pairs available. And of those, only the checkered ones are cool. Where do you get these WAY MOBY ones?

Um, the Vans you're talking about, the ones Al wears in the PH pics, he wears both colors! Look at the pic of him that's behind the cd. That pic is also in the photo gallery. I own the blue ones, and Al wears those, too!

You have one, naturally Nebraska has none. :(



I'm thankful for the creation of the internet! That way I have three pairs of Vans. :)

Yes, I noticed that....just forgot to mention it. Sorry. For some reason I was thinking we were only talking about the shoes on the credits page (the "leaning" picture)...must have been another thread. I wasn't in the best frame of mind last night anyway (long sad story).



But hopefully if one clicked on that link, it wouldn't be too hard for them to look through the other colors.
