I'm looking for glasses like Craig Newmark of craigslist (above) wears. I saw a picture of his on my Costco magazine and thought they looked cool. Thing is, I can't find anything like those around here, not even at Costco.If anybody see glasses like this anywhere that will fit someone with a big head like me, give me a holler.
UPDATE, 8:00PM: Chris suggested that I email Craig directly and ask him, and to my surprise, he personally answered back in about an hour. The frames are Alain Mikli, model a0309. I'll have to go to the Alain Mikli shop in New York to try them on in person.
Just go right to the source: craig@craigslist.org
ReplyDeleteOr you can ask him on his blog:

It's just crazy enough to work. Thanks Chris. I just enailed him per your suggestion.
ReplyDeleteWow Steven, It must be pretty hard to "enail!" Hope you get a pair of those, they are sharp!
ReplyDeleteAs you may have noticed, I have a slight spelling problem when I type. It's even worse when I IM.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to see how they look on me at the shop. Hopefully I’ll have bee to the eye doctor by that point so I'll have a fresh prescription to use. Oh yeah, I’m probably goiung to need to have some money too :-)
Who's the mother fucking man? Chris is, biznatch.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, I had heard that Craig was pretty cool and very responsive to email. I'm glad it worked out for you. Hopefully the look cool.
Wow...Chris is a veritable genuis! MENSA ought to waive your entrance fee for being the all out shiz-nit man!!
ReplyDeleteah, I thought you meant my reading glasses.
ReplyDeletethe ones on the cover are also alain mikli, but model numbers (that I can read) are 1765 col 1422.
Craig
Chris: You ARE the man! I would have never thought of asking Craig personally.
ReplyDeleteCarrie: This is one hell of a social circle we've got going :-)
Craig: I'm blown away that you posted here! Thanks for the help.
I called the Alain Mikli shop in New York and they're looking up the model. I tried on their website, but they didn't have the number you had told me. So I sent Boris at the shop a picture of the frames and he's supposed to get back to me soon.
I think our *social circle* needs some sort of live "bloggers conference." Give us a few drinks and imagine the blast we'd all have!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome. Maybe we'll all be able to do that eventually :-)
ReplyDeleteWell get some non-achohalic drinks!!
ReplyDeleteI think we can find you a Pepsi or something :-)
ReplyDeleteCraig *gasp* posted in your blog *wheeze*...I'm feeling faint...
ReplyDeleteOver here, Craig! HI!! over..over here...!!
Did he leave...? did he leave the building...?
crap.
The internet is smaller than you think sometimes :-)
ReplyDeleteHe has pretty eyes. I hope his specs flatter yours as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by your search.
Everyone loves a good detective story....
I'm hoping they will too. They are so cool looking.
ReplyDeleteThe folks at SouthPark Optical in Charlotte are going to help me out too. I found out they carry Alain Mikli too. I have to bring in the picture.
