in his defense, transplant often works till 10 in east cambridge

i think the film screening will be over early. there are two screenings and the second starts at 930 so i think they'll be plenty of time

Anyone up for a ride Saturday evening? I can't lead cuz I'm blind so someone else must. And make sure you smell so I can follow your scent. Thanks.

Ride tonight. It's supposed to stop raining before 9, and it might be a tad chilly. I'd like to end up at a show at Great Scott in Allston, but, you know, we can take the long way.

Chris, did you get a new front wheel or what? Nobody takes a taxi hit like Transplant! You all shoulda seen this kid. He's made of iron, or something.

haha..

i ended up taking off the front wheel from my beater as a very temporary solution because neither giessel, rutt or myself could get my old tire onto the rim alexi sold me. no good bastard.

and gracious thanks to rutt for dropping off the beater last night. i'm dying inside after not riding since saturday.

Man, sers, you don't have much luck getting people to ride with you, huh? I'll try to remedy that as soon as I can.

In the meantime...rain tonight. I'll be there for the ride, probably in full dorky rain gear. I think there are some cool shows again this week.

Two words: Ghettodrome. Tonight.

I'll be there at 10:30 for a little while. Want to get back in the swing of things, since it's been months since I've done some antics on one of my fixed gears...

EDIT: Scratch that. Girlfriend has pushed the big red STOP button on that one.

no problem, I hear you on the liver, I had a healthy buzz on when I arrived last night. handful of laps later that was gone.

and today in amazing, which made taking the bus to work that much more painful - I'm meeting with non-cycling types after work to go to the MassArt fashion show.

If anyone is interested, I've been told that ZipCars is looking for someone to add to their bike people. My friend works there and the pay is hourly and there is insurance - or at least so I'm told.
