zut alors indeed! not sure if a montrealer would be caught dead eating a madagascar or mexican poutine though! a fast food joint in japan called first kitchen had poutine on their menu. it was...interesting. tj, there are plenty of faces to be poutine-stuffed here.

it's not just one venue and not just at night. a lot of events and different artists showing up. i'm going for the music but also to meet some friends from japan who aren't ;) mutek.ca

well .... I might have to have a massive bag O ' Cheese sent then.....
As Poutine is such a staple I'm sure alot of people have mixed it up fusion style. Not sure if I'd wanna base a business on it.
Have a great time, say hello to all the Montreal girlies.

Nice Japanese place on Prince Arthur...but it would be the last place in the world your Japanese friends would wanna be.

it's not just one venue and not just at night. a lot of events and different artists in around montreal i think. i'm just going for the music but also to meet some friends from japan who aren't ;) mutek.ca

No one wants to ride with operator ? :(

TBN friday night ride @ 6:30pm. Broadview/gerrard.

I didn't check the lineup this year. Anyone especially interesting playing? (fairly open question since I have no idea what you're into)

edit: form-topic related: http://www.mutek.ca/2006/artiste.php..._id=speed_bike

:P

TBN? Is Operator feeling neglected?

Are you riding fixed? I may be up for a short jaunt. I have dinner plans.

Bah. On second thought, I should be a good little worker bee and stay in. Hope you find a riding buddy.

She's primping for her date.

With your mom.

Go girl...... say hi to her for me pls.
Gonna have to do better than that..... :lol:
I wonder if my step-father knows .... he'd totally LOVE that.
Don't do it 32...she's not worth it ..... you'll be 40 and she'll be .....ancient

Regardless of what everyone is doin' be it dinner, travellin', ridin' or just pokin' about ... have a great FRiday night folks and a good week-end to all yous guys and girls.

actually, i was totally looking at that! no explanation of his name though.. hmm, richie hawtin is playing ricardo villalobos..looks like a battle. i'm going with a fairly large group of techno heads so i'll be at their mercy. of course i'm looking for any excuse to take off and eat. mmm, smoked meat, bagels, hotdogs and poutine. i think i'll need to sneak into the 75km ride for heart to burn off the calories.

So are you saying your now riding a fixie?

How much would you guys say an old set of sugino mighty competition double cranks are worth?

Are you selling them? Because if you are, they're worth 1 dollar and you should sell them to me.

^^^^:lol:^^^^^

I leave work in a few minutes... Inquiring minds need to know!

Forget it... I came to my senses just in time.

Cavernmech told me that you were riding a white fixie downtown so I went around looking for you , and nope I don't ride with tbn ,,,, sooooooooo how do you like FIXED riding ???

Yeah, I've heard the name many times but I've never heard his stuff. He was the drummer for Godspeed You! Black Emperor though, which has always piqued my interest... apparently not enough to actually do much digging though. :P

1-speed bicycle played an amazing show in Toronto a few years back right after a mogwai show had ended. Mogwai came and got really drunk and started harrassing everyone it was really really funny.

The best offshoot from godspeed remains A Silver Mt. Zion though, all of their albums are masterpieces but their first is possibly the most depressing piece of music eva. I love it.

Just switched over to using mountain bike grips and tape, must say its a much nicer experience when riding up close to the stem, a bit of a pain in the arse to get them on though.

Cavernmech I came across a picture in the forums of a idea I could do with my bike I would like to send you the pic to see if you have the parts, thanks

Yo yo yo homies. Goki will you sale me your nishiki?

dp.

So having rode teh fixed I now realize that

1) My position is way too high on my road bike i.e i'm not horizontal enough, need negative drop stem
2) **** gears
3) Aer0bars FTW
4) My frame maybe 1-2cm too big?
5) Brakes FTL

So, you're gonna commute fixie style from now on? Sweeeet...

Yeah, and who was that I met on King st. You said you didn't post on the forums but are you just lurking?

Are you referring to me? Cuz I wasn't on King St.

hey STEEKER, perhaps one of these might help with your saddle pain?

All right good to hear, note a couple of things.
1. Have fun
2. Try not to kill yourself (very important, easy to do at first)
3. Hope you get hooked riding fixed
4. Hope your road bike gets better but not soon!
Cheers

5. Don't stop pedalling! :D
