Well…

GO!

Not people!

Punk Ass Friday

It is IN THE AIR!

Know those folks that write notes on their hands so they don’t forget? I’m thinking about getting this tattooed on the back of my hand to remind me!

WHOA! I like how that spells out as you scroll!

And now a photo of me on one of my old bikes, because I’m dreaming about motos right now…

HA! I’m not really even moving in that shot! What an art school poser! That bike sucked too btw!

PS- I’m DJing a party tonight at 1151 East Johnson. Bound to be a raunchy affair. Please come. New LCD, MIA, BigBoi. BOOM!

Hot Summer Night!

Being Loud…

and letting people know we’re here!

Rythym and Booms 4realz! Please come-channel the GFOS!

The beginning and end of it was always working on the music,

Black Flag founder, guitarist and chief songwriter Greg Ginn on DIY at ArthurMag. A great read for musicians and artists

Found – Dear Francis

Interesting postcard from 1942.

It’s true, this town is “”full of young folks” and yes, the Dells don’t “amount to much anymore.”

Work2Bike!

Lovely Susan B. Anthony (1896) quote from the San Francisco Chronicle’s sfgate.com

“I think [the bicycle] has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives a woman a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. The moment she takes her seat she knows she can’t get into harm unless she gets off her bicycle, and away she goes, the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.”

And speaking of bike mechanics, don’t trust yours! Recently published Bike Teching shenanigans make me nervous!

1. Tie ordinary steel nut to thread. Tape inside friend’s seatpost. Noisy
2. Cut small slit in friend’s tube. Insert child’s jinglebell, patch up, inflate and replace on bike. Irritating.
3. Drop ball bearings through pressure holes in friend’s head tube. Mean.
4. Place unpeeled banana inside friend’s tire, inflate tube around it and replace on bike. Messy
5. Completely fill friend’s tube with water, replace on bike. Heavy.

PLEASE NOTE: the above list continually refers to “friend.”  None of these tech tips are ever applied to enemies. But I did hear a story once of a bike mechanic that stuffed some tourer asshat’s seat post with rotten cottage cheese and sent them on their merry way. Work2Bike indeed! BWAAA!

On a brighter note, my bike touring last weekend stumbled upon some fabulous Wisconsin roadside architecture in Black River. James Tellen Woodland Sculpture Garden is a Kohler Foundation preservation, a true gem. Find it on purpose, it is worth the effort. Bike wandering is the best! (Whoah! Kohler needs a new photographer. hint!)

I love this husband and wife scene with the drunk, dropped six pack and snigger!

Now, step away from the computer, and go for a bike ride!
