Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

"Oh crap I'm in the demographic"

Just caught my 24-year-old self working on a new-ish SS build while drinking Stag and watching Red Light Go in a college town in my rented house while still wearing my gross kitchen clothes from my crappy day job that I'm working until I go to grad school.

I think I just realized how well I fit into a demographic...

I just realized you're in Columbia.
Every other year I go down there for New Years with a bunch of friends because a few of said friends play in a traditional irish band. We get a bunch of free hotel rooms and it's pretty fun.
Last time I was there I went to that huge ****ing Wal-Mart at about 3 am. Weird.

Ah, the wal-mart on East Broadway. They're building a second, bigger one on West Broadway now. Also south of town. WTF? Anyway, if you come to town for the next New Year's, let me know. I'll be here another year still.

No silly haircut here, but I do own no fewer than four pair of designer jeans, so it probably evens out.

I think we're definitely heading down this New Years.
Sweet.
