Pulling out the drawers, and scattering the contents like so many leaves in the wind..Again.

July 14, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

Ive got a jam packed inbox again, and no realistic way of cohesively linking any of it together, so Ill just dump it out, and you can pick the gems as you choose. Like this one for example;

The giganticest rodeo is back in town.

July 11, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

The Tour is the grandpappy of the cycling world, and with 2008 a week deep, try as I might, I cant muster the same kind of enthusiasm I once had for this- the biggest of all big bicycle races.

A Friendship is the only unsinkable kind of ship..

July 08, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

As I was sitting at my desk Tuesday morning, Joefish came in to my office, put his hand on my shoulder and began, "you know, I was thinking about you today on my ride into work.. I was thinking about all of the time weve known each other, and the relatively heavy stuff youve seen me go through, and just what a good friend youve been- and as I was thinking these things, I glanced down on the street and saw this;"

Back to the grind with all 11 fingers still intact.

July 05, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

While the fourth of July is a day to celebrate for a slew of reasons, as with many holidays, the point seems to be missed by most, and generally misconstrued as a day when folks get to blow the holy hell out of things.

A shakedown of our typical hodgepodge, beginning with the rather absurd.

At long last the end of the week is once again upon us.

Can I borrow a dollar?

June 15, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

Well, I did it. Even as my finances disintegrate before my very eyes, I threw caution to the wind and bought a plane ticket to Denver to catch The Fluid play for the first time (well, the second time including the 'secret' show last Sunday) in fifteen years.

Im a liar... A big, dirty liar.

June 12, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

Look, I know I said that I was going to treat Thursday like a Friday, which would have made the tips of my index fingers very happy, but Ive just got way too much stuff in my inbox.
So sit back, open up, and lets see what the rest of the folks are up to?

Before we undertake anything...

June 11, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

Now Im sure were all aware of the fixed gear apocalypse to which the Bike Snob so often refers. Well, stop the presses folks, cause I think I just experienced all four horsemen in their skinny panted brilliance.

Theres a storm brewing.

June 11, 2008 by Stevil on walkabout

After six days on the road, I came home to find a staggering number of emails jammed into my inbox. Some are about bacons and moustaches, but thankfully, most are not.
As previously mentioned, Ive got a ton of stuff to share with you all, and Im excited to get through the work day so that I can get home and begin on my work evening, which will probably turn into a work night, but its all going to be for you, the dedicated followers of the Bummer Life avoidance.

Despite the fact that Ive just spent four nights sleeping with one foot on the floor in a hopeless attempt to prevent the room and bed from spinning in opposite directions, Im relatively (and surprisingly) bright eyed and bushy tailed, and within the next couple of days will fill your eye holes with pictures of what the beautiful people do when fueled up on cheap beer, expensive whiskey, art, bikes, tried and true friends, and bicycles.

Maybe Im losing my touch. Maybe this is how everyone lives, and Im the only one that has my mind opened up and spread across the land like so much butter on hot toast when participating in the goodness of the last week. If thats the case, then bully for all of you, and thank you for allowing me to play catch up. However if its not, then youre gonna dig what Ive got cooking in the Swobo kitchen.
Hang tight peeps and peepettes, and get your plates ready to be piled high with the good stuff.

Sleepy is as sleepy does.

June 10, 2008 by Stevil on walkabout

I found a computer.. Or rather I tricked Alana into leaving her desk so that I could use hers... Im in Chicago with Ed and Chuck at SRAM world HQ rebuilding the internal 9 speed hubs.
Chicago...There are pretty girls all over the place and the kind of old brick architecture that sends my heart a-soaring.
Itll be a little bit before I get my feet beneath me, but rest assured that Ive got a whole boat load of blurry and poorly shot photos of the exploits in the Midwest.
If youre gonna be at the airport in Chicago in the next couple of hours, keep a lookout for me. Ill be the guy with one huge bag on my back, as well as a fairly sizaeble one under each eye.
