That's going to be with me for life...

The swelling is all but gone leaving a nice bony lump where one part of my collarbone ends and sits on top of the other part.

New CBC shirt....

So I mentioned below Michael's insane run in with fixter to end all fixters... Well today Ellen Bucher came by to take some reference pictures for the t-shirt to commemorate this extremely retarded moment in Richmon's fixed gear cultural history. I asked Starr to do her best to look like a total hipster douche bag and I have to say her transformation was quite impressive. When she walked out of the back with her cut off shirt and glasses I had to fight the urge to slap the stupid off her. The look she managed to put on her face almost makes me want to quit bikes just to avoid the risk of ever being associated with the people she is dressing up as. Almost. Instead I'll just make fun of it. I can only hope that for some strange reason I happen to be in the same place at the same time wearing this shirt as the young lady that inspired it when she sees it for the first time.

So here is the first step towards the finished product... drink it in...

I could not possibly make this up...

Two movies came out in 2008 that have blown my mind with their mere existence.

JC In Tha Hood: "The timeless story of JC -- Jesus Christ -- is updated and moved into the violent streets of the inner city, where four lost souls, including a prostitute, a gangbanger and a drug addict, wrestle their inner demons and even face the devil himself. But when an urban Christ arrives to show them hope, they discover their suffering just might lead them to salvation. This edgy drama stars Dale Stelly as Jesus and Sid Burston as the devil."

Lost Boys, The Tribe: " After their parents die in a car accident, Chris Emerson (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his sister, Nicole (Autumn Reeser), move in with their quirky Aunt Jillian in her California beach town. Soon Nicole falls for a local surfer, who, unbeknownst to her, is also a vampire. Now Chris finds himself battling the whole gang of vampire surfers in an effort to rescue his sister. Corey Feldman and Corey Haim co-star in this sequel to 1987's Lost Boys"

WTF?

Random stuff from the camera phone...

Bugs at pony pony pasture.


Sarah and I at pony pasture. I am officially over not being able to ride.

Lesson learned

Mark K learned the hard way never to underestimate Emily Helmbolt.

Dangerous...

Tom G and the rat getting down.

New designs and more stupidity...

A few new projects in the works...
First off is the very first sketch for a simple new cbc shirt. Cliche? For sure... cool anyway? I think so...
Next is the almost finished result of much talk between a couple of really dorky bike racers.
I have a hunch there are at least a few more out there who enjoy Minor Threat as much as they enjoy the Tour De' France. We shall see...

Last thing in the works today started with one of the more idiotic things I have heard about this week. Mike Ramey was riding along on his mountain bike minding his own business. He was wearing a Pace Cycling cap as he often does. Some random girl on a fixed gear (not a track bike from what I understand) does some weird skid in front of him, opens her mouth, and out comes this gem: "you better be riding a fixed gear if you are going to wear that hat, poser".

Wow.

Take a moment and just let that sink in.

Wow.

Anyway... funny stuff. Funny enough to be immortalized on a t-shirt? We will find out. The "photo shoot" for the t-shirt design will be tomorrow. I can't wait.
