I totally feel you on that, JZ.

Completely random laundry question: I have a pair of (oldish, already much-washed) jeans that are maybe an inch long and maybe an inch loose in the waist; if I tossed them in a warm wash instead of cold, would they shrink up just a wee little bit, or would I end up with jeans that are way too short and tight?
Do you machine dry them already?
I doubt hot water and hot drying would shrink an old pair of jeans by an inch.
I almost always wash my jeans in warm. I'm not sure it makes much difference.
They've been machine washed a few times (always cold) and dried with big giant blasts of heat. A warm wash probably won't do anything at this point, will it?
hot wash might shrink them a little bit but in my experience with trying to shrink jeans they stretch back to their original shape soon after you put them on.
I don't think they will shrink, JZ.
Does anyone know anything about facebook? The theatre wants us to join a facebook group for updates and I have been really resistant to facebook, but I can't even see the group without joining. Does it email you updates, because the last damn thing I want is to have to keep checking something for updates!
Also- MAN to I have cranky pants!
dried with big giant blasts of heat.
Do you mean "in a dryer"? Or something else? (I'm not trying to be snippy; I think that tumble-drying can shrink jeans in a way that, say, hanging them in front of a radiator can't.)
If you accelerate the jeans to some large percentage of the speed of light, they'll shrink, but in only one dimension.
