Yesterday I and 7 friends ate a whole hog dinner at this place, and it was free (except for drinks and tip) thanks to my friend winning a contest on their Facebook page.

Then I got home and checked Twitter to find out another friend's wheelset got jacked. She was so upset. Earlier this year, she had worked some deal with stanridge speed to get a custom frame; version 1 arrived and turns out, it did not fit. So she waited another month+ to get version 2 which she just got built up Wednesday night. Version 2 fits great and she is in love with it. Less than 24hrs later, she stopped to buy coffee beans at a coffee shop, and only locked the frame. Came out 5 minutes later and both wheels, gone. Luckily it was a fairly inexpensive wheelset and she's dating a bike messenger and good friends with a guy that works in a shop, so she already has it back up and running on loaner wheels. Still, I feel really bad for her. I'm also glad I don't live in her neighborhood - in the last few months, I have one friend who got his entire bike stolen, two others that got their back wheels stolen, and this friend that got both wheels jacked. All in the same (rapidly gentrifying, hipstery) neighborhood.
