Yeah, that'd be cool mang. I used to have a whole whack of their stuff, but lost it in the greatest harddrive crash of the last century.
In fact, it's been a long time since I've listened to much Ninjatune stuff and they used to compose a large part of my musical diet back in the day. I think the only label-folks I still listen to at all are some Amon Tobin, Bonobo, Blockhead and Sixtoo. They're all amazing, both live and recorded. In fact, I saw 3 (no Bonobo) of them play a show (plus a couple other folks who I can't remember.. Kid Koala and others) a few years ago and it was an amazing night. Amon Tobin ended an already great set with this really crazy drum & bass remix of a couple Slayer songs. Good times, good times..

I'm gonna have the *****inest, clashing-y-est, long seatposted single speed mountain bike commuter ever! The fork I got from Chris is a metallic orangey red and the frame is black with purple splotches. This bike is going to be a representation of every fashion faux-pas I choose to ignore.

You know, that was only part of it. I got entirely snubbed by the three guys that were waiting at Dundas Square when I first got there. I rolled up and tried to chat and they more or less totally ignored me. I guess I was too far below their lofty social strata or something. Plus the whole swarming through traffic, pissing off drivers hammerfest isn't really my scene. I can ride fast without riding like an *******. Meh.. different strokes I guess, but I was kind of disappointed.

Speaking of which, anyone going to Critical Mass and/or Navid's party tomorrow? I'm not sure what my rock-band schedule is tomorrow night, but I might be free for two-wheeled hijinks.

Navid's is sooo tempting as I could crawl home from there...across the park no less.
Now I think of I just might hit up Navid's for a beer/spin.

It's a good thing Keith didn't come out as I assume he would have been on the Kona which has gearing significantly lower than my Roger, methinks. ~71 gear inches had me pretty much at the upper limits of my cadence comfort zone, any lower and it would have been good Goldsprints practice.
