ok, here's the deal, pirates:
(thank you chicago for the idea)
monday
2pm
meetup at home base (warehouse cafetheatrewhatever). if home base is closed, fear not, we will meet in front of home base.
you give me $5.
we will ride around looking for open bars.
you will get a card for every drink you have.
make a poker hand out of these cards.
whoever has the best hand gets the cash.
but it would behoove whoever wins the cash to use it to buy the group drinks anyway.
(if you get more than 5 cards, you get to make the best 5-card hand with what you've got)
if you're coming late, call to find out where we are. my number is 744.5212
ps - who took this last night? best photo ever.

I just put the pictures I took up. However be warned A)I'm new to the digital camera so things may get fuzzy B) I'm a little too used to trying to be artsy fartsy with my picture taking so there are precious few pictures of actual people etc C) I'm also new to Flickr so I might have messed any one of several things up. Pictures from J5's party are gonna have to wait until tommarow. Tony Hawk isn't gonna American Wasteland himself (http://www.neversoft.com).

Actually this is a variation of the classic "poker run" , glad to see it on bicycles. Dyna should have done this before, because it is a motorcycles and sports car rally thing (without the drinking). I am HATING Chicago (except Stickerguy) so must poo poo on their thunder.
btw: this Chimbly and LBK pix is as good as the cheerleader and Viking pix
Tomorrow I'm solo biking the bike paths (in HK) around the waterways from the approach from Mirs Bay Wed, off to Thailand
Monday, Tokyo and hopefully, the Kalvanka works w Ceya
Hope everyone is having fun!
btw: HK <heart> Chimbly, this will be explained when I return, or find a USP cable

I am in and some dinner first would be good!
Yes! burritos! Would Baja Fresh suit your fancy all the same, Kenton? I'd prefer it, but am not much of a stickler if not...What do you think? Baja at Dupont?

I miss you all so much..... :)
This 10 year old kid is riding around the main stripe in Kamala Bay Phuket on a parts bind BMX with a dual stanchion fork with bars that look like clubman bars and without brakes. Wait, he just went by with his kid brother standing on the rear pegs and dodging traffic and scooters.
this place is pack with sweds and norse (and germans). There is a bavarian beer graden and oktober fest.
btw: they renamed "Pirate Island" to "Viking Island". The tour ads even show a Viking long ship. Gosh what tourism can do!

cool...I'm thinking noon thirty, tennis court parking lot, and then logging a couple hours if anyone else wants to show up later, or come and go. weather should be niiiice.
there might be a club house grilled cheese involved afterward...$1.50. irresistible.

I do care much, I just had not eaten at BB in a long time. Tell you what, next pirate to post gets to post the place. See you all at 5:45/6.
edit:not do, do not care
its been a minute since i've eaten at BB too...
Sunday Ride would be good. I'll have a friend in from out of town and we want to ride! Noon-thirty would be cool. Oh yeah, LBK, he's a mad photographer/printer...definitely good company.
ninnieja
word, so Burrito Bros. is it. Sounds fine. See y'arrall there at a few past 6...

and what are you eating your sandwiches off?

looks like there's pepperoni hangin out in that.
It looks like goat to me.
Tink and I are working on a few projects, the one that is most exciting (and we'll finish the quickest) are new 2006 DC Pirates spokecards (now you can have DCP spokecards on both your fixed and your b bike, maybe an extra for that mixte if you went to chicago or new york). The design will be great, my only fear is after you get this kickass spokecard you'll go AWOL like a bunch of pirates did after they got the 05s...mutinous scallywags! I wanted to get them done for tonite's pillage but some stupid website got in the way, and then i kind of forgot to work on the design...anyone who shows up tonight will get a consolation prize, anyone who doesnt will be made fun of, no vacation excuses either.

let's make people EARN the spoke cards somehow... hmm...
I suggest this...

Whoever lasts the longest in the crotch-kicking contest, gets a card.

i suggest a true pillaging contest, as in actual pilfering, the stranger the better. tink or ninja (?) got the sparks sign, difficult yes but not strange.

its a sturmey archer 1x1x7 mixte with 26x3" tires and snow studs, hydraulic disc brakes, switched with a manitou suspension fork and moustache bars with reflective neon yellow bartape and a bell. decked out with so many lights reflectors you dont dare pull your camera out.
