thanks man. i downloaded some REDS stuff from your site awhile back, and am excited to hear more. no worries what-so-ever about the delay.

also, good news. new bullets*in 7" on the way! and you'll love Baader Brains, although their 12" is has a good bit of work left to do on the recording (lotsa samples and mixin and stuff).

i was really into okara burgers for a while, but i've been really digging sunshine burgers as of late

yeah, sunshine's are good too! they can be a little dry though. i still love em. they are definitely bigger than okara

hey,
are you the guy on the IRO, glasses, black helmet, and i think a reload backpack who i always see riding up union st below hicks st?
todays the perfect day for a ride like that.
and who do you know at woodser? roy?
i'd join you but, yes, work...and im waiting on a new BB.
have a good one.
-c.r.

nah, not me on the IRO. i have a benotto and a reminton and a green reload. i know all the woodser kids, except for pete.

oh!
i saw you on the G train last night.
benotto, red bar wrap, green reload..
nice bike.
i was wearing yellow rain jacket, black reload..
i work down at the end of union st @ van brunt. see the same people riding everyday.
next time i'll say hi.
-c.r.

haha yeah, the downfall of meeting up with michele after work: having to take the train home with her. especially when the G is running like last night. definitely say hey next time. where do you work?

Riding down to SoHo for a dance rehearsal, over to DUMBO for a chocolate tasting outing, over to the upper west side for a blues party. Looks like I picked a good day!

Yesterday I went with some friends, rode down the East side to South Street for drinks (nothing like some Pina Coladas on the pier!), leisurely ride through Battery Park City along the water. My friend who was riding my single speed was dying - though I offered to switch with him a few times. Capped off with pizza and South Park.

a chocolate tasting? nice. sounds like ya got a good time planned!

up to the bronx to ride the rumble route.

Yesterday was brunch in wburg, a stroll and shopping around union sq, riding around the city looking for ATAC cleats, and chocolate and wine after dinner.

Leaving in a bit for Columbus Circle.

For atac cleats head to NYC velo on 2nd between 3rd and 4th

you should go to MoCCA! or at least, i would if i was there!

or go VoxPop (http://www.voxpopnet.net/) in Brooklyn at 6:00pm to hear Joey Comeau read from his book! (http://www.lockpickbook.net/) hes the dude who writes http://www.asofterworld.com

If my memory seves, you need new look cleats before you need new ATAC cleats.

Yes, the nagging persists, even half a continent away...

Had a blast - though taking the single speed over the Manhattan Bridge for my very first bike bridge crossing was an adventure (including the double circle I had to make by following the signs to the bike route - learned my lesson on that one!). Looks like the tire is about to pop off the rim though - think all those broken spokes are catching up with me! The wheel barely free spins at this point - no coasting at all and it pretty much stayed at one speed on the downhill part.

48 spoke rim is in the mail and should be here this week (along with a pump - yay!). Can't wait to upgrade these rims! I'm probably going to be flying after getting used to pushing these so hard.

Beautiful day for a ride - felt really good to be out there.

I made that mistake my first week in NYC. Those signs are bull****.
