PDX Fixie in SF-looking for guide and...
 

OK, I got referred to this site from CL and this was my original posting.

"This seems like the appropriate spot for this, and technically it is a sale- that's right you'll get a dollar.

OK, first real vacation in about 3 years and I am no tourist. I grew up in a tourist town, so I'm not into the industry. I recently got back to fixed although by back, I s'pose it's more a newbie status, my earlier status was more involuntary (loaner from anotherr messenger). I've got basic skills and brakeless. I'm interested to see how the streets of SF treat me. Anyhow, I'm down for a week and would like to ride around, maybe get some insight but above all else pretty much have a spring break centered around my life of bicycle culture. My trade for this besides my awesome hillarity and extensive cruiser bike knowledge will be a pound (hell I'll make it a kilo for reference's sake), of Stumptown grade a crack cocaine quality coffee beans. I don't care who you are as long as you're chill and know the city."

stumptown kicks ass. when you get back, a couple of us are talking about doing some sort of bar ride or alleycat (i have a couple of ideas for an april fool's one). you should drop me or someone a line.

doesn't answer your question or needs. but....um...yep.

fortunately for me, my lcs (local coffee shop) serves stumptown.
i've become completely addicted to their kenya AA

/derail

it's funny how this forum supposedly has no derailers. it seems like that's almost all we have.

Blue Bottle coffee 4 life!

Aww damn! just like that, and I thought this was more of a shot in the dark (er...dork). fancy seein' you here dolface, thanks for the heads up. First reponse was frommy own backyard. I go lookin for flyers, covered wagon style, when I shoulda been online. Magic. So anyone lookin to help the lost find their way? My bro's gotta work weekdays, I'm just gonna wander into traffic. I went to Atlanta in the fall, wandered around for a day or so until I got an idea for where to go and what to do just in time to leave. Not gonna do that again.

When are you comming?

3/24-4/2 forgot to include that part huh, I'm carsharing down with down with a full load of strangers that friday to see a show at the Filmore (Metric). I might be out on the first or earlier, I'll see how much money I have left by then.

LA peeps are heading up the4/31 weekend. So there will be plenty of riding/drinking for you to partake.

4/31? that's planning ahead right?

So true. Maybe the best coffee in the country.

oops! taht was supposed to be a 3/31 Aprils fool's weekend. my bad :)

Yeah, join us for some booze cruisin on the april fools weekend.
Other than that, I have tuesday and thursdays off, send me an IM and I'll hook you up with my number.

Party time! Excellent! and a little somethin somethin

**** yeah!

juvi, you need to chill the **** out.. besides.. i think its spelled "sumptin' sumptin'"

head's up FYI for the LA peeoples: "in the bay we gettin hyphy, stupid dumb and hyphy". you can blame e40 for that.

no no no, "some" is obvious and the "thin" should be, but as a much older man than I, you may not know. I slice is thin and what else could be considered a slice or even a hatchet wound...

Bay Area emcees have always been killin it, but that new E40 is hella hottness jamtastic, its the fire.

why you gotta bring a man down, huh? but you are right about the spelling :)

you two are so ****in wrong it is not even funny...

**** man, I just learned what Hyphy was last week. I thought those kids all had turrets or epilepsy or something. I love being clueless.

thanks 4 that graphic corrections ;) why do i ever doubt you?

aw man, the hyphy movement has been steadily creeping out of the cuts for like a year. the world is just now hearing about it though -- not to worry about being clueless, it just busted out for the most part.

i am just glad that hip hop has sunk to the level of depravity that it has finally slumped into. no need to mask it with super duper "intellectual space rhymes" at least they is callin it like they be seein it... "get dumb!" hey kids! aspire to this: "get ********!" and for the girls? "grind the pole upside down" or somethin.

thank god for punk rock.

if you are goin to generalize hip-hop, than I will generalize punk and say that punk has sucked since 81. And all this No Wave revival is garbage.

juvi you are wrong beyond words on the spelling.. but i have seen you ghostride your whip.. too bad it wasnt intentional

Etymology: Etymology: San Francisco Bay Area, shortened perhaps from English dialect "hyperactive"; other sources cite a combination of "hype" and "fly." Popularized by E-40 and the Federation's song "Hyphy" (2004); first known use on record by Keak Da Sneak in 1998 (on "Cool," from his LP Sneakacidle).
1 : dangerous and irrational: CRAZY;
2 : amusingly eccentric; without inhibition: GOOFY
"They were getting hyphy up in the club Saturday night."
"We got hyphy in da parking lot after the club let out!"
"Dat ***** was trying to get hyphy cuz her friends was wit her"
"Them krazy ninjas in the Town were gettin hyphy with them Boys in Blue, the fools were scraping the Pigs."
"We stay hyphy, in our white tee, and our black jeans, and our Nikes"
"Them ninjas hella hyphy hangin out the doors in the scraper!"
"We got hella hyphy at the party last night!"
"After takin 2 40s to the dome i was straight Hyphy"

well, yeah, i know. i dont mean to generalize, i am mainly speaking for what is readily available for free via television and radio. i am smart enough to know that what gets transmitted via those outlets is not representative of "all" hip hop. i am just sayin -- whats getting played is pretty bad. theres good stuff too.

using my model (what is available on radio/tv), yeah: all punk has sucked since the early 80s.

i dont knock hiphop, i will bump nwa until the day i die, and i love e40 to death. i just feel a bit unnerved when i hear the kids wanting to get dumb, be ********, and act stupid... at least punk added the extra "break stuff" to the mix.

Whatever. We know all anyone listens to down in LA is Peaches and Fischerspooner.

point for 128!
