I'm going to be in LA for work all next week. Yup, free after about 5pm next Mon-Sat. Please don't force me to order pizza and watch pay-per-view in my hotel room every night. I'm going to have my steamroller with me, too.

do yerself a favor--go to santa barbara. and go to la superica taqueria on milpas street. you can thank me later.

Are going in time for the World Cup?

its hollowness will haunt you.

Kiecker and I are going to the Saturday night and Sunday races for the World CUp. I'm really looking forward to it!

I decree that all your thread titles have to be Decemberists lyrics from now on.

you hear that juvi-kyle?

you'd be really, really surprised how easy that could be.

oh, and I'm actually missing Colin Meloy in DC cuz I'll be in LA. sucky.

Oh man... ive been wanting to comment on your username chimbley... but I didnt want to reference the decemberists and find out it has nothing to do with them. But holy crap.. I ****!ng love those guys. I drove with my girlfriend 6 horus to D.C. to see them, and it was one of the best shows ive ever been to. I then discovered they were playing in NYCa few days later and went to that one too.

That does suck.

This confirms my long standing suspicions. Although, to be fair, you could have just been a Dylan Thomas fan.

I'm very jealous.

LA sucks...

For serious LA is the ultrajam and the pre Worlds is goin blow minds.

would you mind translating that into East-coast-ese for me?
I'm thinking it's something like:
LA is enjoyable and the races will be fun.

I miss LA...

It's too bad you just missed BikeWinter, but I guess you can always join us for Critical Mass Los Angeles, Long Beach, or Pasadena. LA meets at the Red Line Wilshire/Western station. See ya!

wow, i think my hotel is across the street from the meetup point. hot damn. what time?

Ha, you'll be in K-town, should go down the street and see the largest KFC you'll ever see.

death cab and decemberists, this man has good taste in music, you LA riders should show him a good time.

^her

yeah and check out Guelaguetza, a most excellent Oaxacan restaurant in/near K-town. If you are tempted to get the crickets, only get a snack sized portion or you'll be picking cricket legs out of your teeth for a week.

i had a blast riding around LA on a visit three years ago. there's some nice backstreet routes to get you around.

I pass by your area everynight on my way home from work. Pm me if you want to ride.

I'll be there with Jim C and bike kitchen crew this weekend. Kyle which night you rollin? Sloppy might be coming too.

most certainly! pm on the way.

that's the spirit. i have bike, need ridey buddies.
