I used some web-based simpsons generator thing, yeah.. I can't remember which one though as there's several out there.
Was that around 6:30?

Not going, focusing on getting Wes' bike ready for tomorrow. Wes, check your email and give me a call if you see my special brand of bike swag on "stupidly cheap" sale.

The show was kind of blah. It was funny seeing Dan, Jeremy and Matt swoop in on the only 3 Catlike helmets. Bought a nice Nike wool jersey for $30. My buddy Barry picked up a Steelwool cyclocross bike from Cycle Solutions...then his friend bought the other one they had. They will both be on the 10am line tomorrow. Good times.

Agreed. I saw you all leaving (I recognized Matt Rennick's and Dr. Benway's bikes), but I didn't say hello because I uhh, well you all kind of intimidated me. Somebody was riding in backward circles and I can't even skid. So I went home. It wasn't a total bust, though – I picked up a Rolls saddle and a CO2 inflator for cheap.

That was Nestor....encyclopedia of all things cycling. Among his many awesome bicycle achievements is a bike that you pedal forwards to get moving then has a bigger gear that you pedal backwards....some really crazy stuff. Nice to meet you too.

Didn't find any rims, but got some shoes and some Ryder glasses with 3 lenses for $20.
Bit of a bummer there wasn't much more that I wanted, but was fun. Thanks for the pass!

i gots me a saddle too! a selle italia for only $40!!
no helmet unfortunately, but good deals on booties, undies, and glasses (3 lenses for $20 - you can't go wrong). stood in line forever to pay $1 for grips for my raleigh like i was talking about to some of you. i also gave up and bought the shorts i've been wanting in a size large... they're a tad baggy in the cuff, but oh well.
sorry to have missed y'all at the end.

I got booties. Great ones.
I didn't get the HID light system that I really tried hard to talk tam into buying for me. Looks like it's Active surplus for me!
