Chicago - Critical Mass tomorrow?

Anyone down for riding with the mass for 20 minutes, breaking off, heading to a park, and boozing it up?

It's because you're thinking of the Calder sculpture.

I'll be there unless I can't get this parser finished in time. It is due at midnight fri.

Park + booze = yes. I'd like to know more about this race though.

Weather should hold up, though it will get chilly. Last month inspired me to get some real socks -- I got wet on the way up and couldn't feel my feet most of the way. Almost killed some girl when I blew a trackstand because my feet were just numb bricks.

The CCM email list says Muppet theme. Awesome.

Since when do you have to stop to booze on mass?

Bottom bracket blues? Hyde park? PM me.

Hyde Park convoy, anyone?

CCM lost it's novelty long ago for me ...

however ... if some people were to be there, Ira specifically, I would probably go and take the Sean 20 minutes then I'm out route.

This sounds like a CCM I could do. I get tired of slowly rolling and trackstanding for 1.5 hours.

I'm gonna go!

I'm gonna load up my Ipod with classic old episodes of the radio show "Loveline" so I don't have to talk to anyone & yuk it up with Carolla!

A good vintage, maybe like March of '02. Some shows w/ David Allen Grier, maybe some "Lightning Rounds". Ah, good times!

Hmm, I'm not sure about that one.

When did Anderson start?

Ah, what a good show. I used to go to the lake & listen to it, maybe with some vino & crack up. Now I have some silly job & Adam's gone. Bad times indeed!
