So I am officially taking snaps of the Saturday race start, one check point and finish hopefully.

Have they posted the course already? Or do you just mean 21 flat kilometres with 5 checkpoints and no way to take shortcuts?

I'd never get off the thing. It looks like it creates a symbiotic relationship with your nervous system. Catching that fairing would suck large.
The idea behind laying the course out is that it's virtually impossible to shortcut it. I think Keith slapped down a nice course after speaking with him last night. More... I cannot tell you. It wouldn't be fair. Looking forward to some nice shots hopefully. I can see me getting into this photography thing since getting this camera from my father-in-law..... i'm likin' it

Somehow I don't think so, that's a career change I can't see pullin' off. 
Though a flash for it and powerpack might be in order
Did you find lam pockets Keith?

edit: sweep: I got an extra ticket for American Hardcore on Sep 13 @ 9:00pm. Let me know (asap) if you definitely aren't going to be able to make it and I'll find someone else.

Still probably around 6:30-ish. However long it takes me to ride home then drive to etobicoke and ride back during rush hour. 
edit: assuming I can even still fit my fixie in the trunk since I can't get the seatpost down/out still. heheheh.

yeah, it fits if I take off both wheels, but it's annoying to have to re-tension the back wheel (especially since I just cleaned/lubed my chain and had the back wheel off just last night).

That situation could be cleared up so easily! You can get totally screwed on maortgages though...
Oh yeah, I got my defrauded money back and it seems like they gave me an extra 200 bucks (but I may just be wrong). Plus I'm moved in and had a great camping trip. Unfortunately today was spent entirely in the board room... So tiring but you totally cannot take a nap. I've got a 9:15er tomorrow morning and my coworker is afraid I'm going to be late for it because I usually get into work between 9:00 and 9:15. Shes probably right but I'm pretty sure I can show up 10 minutes earlier.

You won't be able to buy them....but your laminator friend might have them.
Top and bottom laminate....turn it on add the cards one at a time... trim and all set.
Call your laminator friend, depends on the machine. I used to use a machine with 72 inch wide rolls of laminate.
