Firstly, Thanks to everyone for being so nice and supportive, writing without community can be a desperate and lonely endeavor.

Secondly, it sounds like we have the talent and resources to make this thing pretty nice, so let's make something we can take pride in and help strengthen the community we love.

third verse different from the first, getting some cool B&W pictures together is a great idea, let's open it up to suggestions. I love the idea of an x-ray. A picture of one of the metal bridges in Chicago would be cool too. We could vote on our favorites.

Roman Numeral Four, I spoke too soon about the dog fighting charity. While I would love to support the effort, it's more of a personal charity that I'll take care of on my own. Since this is a community of bicyclists, and more specifically fixed gear bicyclists, we need to put the money back into the community. I suggest we give everything we make, if we make anything at all, to Marcus Moore over at Yojimbos Garage. Maybe we could arrange to send him a dozen or so copies he could sell and keep all the proceeds. With any luck we could help pay the light bill for a month.

last verse same as the first, really, thanks again to everyone, I hope the feeling I have is shared by others, when I ride I don't ride alone. Now let's get together and make something ****ing nice.
