Recently I had the realization that I knew Id seen James Lipton somewhere before.
'But where?' I thought.

A few weeks ago I read an interview with him, and he was posed the query he generally ends his discussions with.

"If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?"

Mr. Lipton's response- "See? I do exist. But you can come in anyway."

Thats when it came to me.

Up now from the home of rock and roll heros The New Bomb Turks comes one not to miss.
(Chris corrected me. NBT are not from Dayton. I believe I was thinking of Gaunt. Im old and the brain dont remember so good.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter.)
(Update- Nope, I was wrong there too. I have officially given up.)

The little scribbling down there in the corner says Brett1529@yahoo.com has more info, so give him a shout for the goods if you please.

So- have you ever asked yourself-
"How does one go about obtaining a Swobo sponsorship?"

Well, this is one way.

You might end up being draped in factory seconds, and covering your bits and pieces in gloves and duct tape, but freebies are freebies, right?

"Forgive me, I'm a bummer life submission virgin. I hope that I'm doing this right.
Last weekend myself and a long-time friend, Matthew Hurley, had a great ride in downtown Tulsa. We assaulted that urban jungle for several hours in 40 degree weather and then made some stops at the public houses for some brews. Just wanted to share some pics that I thought expressed the mood of the ride and a great way to avoid the bummer life. Check out the "bottle cage" on Matt's Wolfhound. (It was filled with Highland Park single malt, in case you were wondering.)"

So there you have it. If any of yall thought there was no trouble brewing in Tulsa, think again.
Thanks Russell.
Not bad for a virgin.

And as long as were on the topic of brewing trouble- for those of us in the Northern Califonia region, youll not want to miss Soulcrafts 11th annual Ray Ray ride.

Ill be there with some jingle bells stuffed in a sock just to spread some black eyed cheer.

And another straight from the mind of AK

I went last year, and mistakenly showed up thinking it was an eating competition, from which I emerged victorious, which was a good thing due to the fact that my Nutella, Pinenut and Oyster enchiladas absolutely flat lined.

Theres no accounting for taste, I guess.

Frank emailed us and due to the fact that weve had some downer posts lately what with friends and heros passing away, thought we might need to spend some time in a happier place.
Frank- when youre right, youre right.

Lastly Ill leave you with one from the furry knuckled;

"I guess this is how they deal with sandbaggers in New England".

Good stuff, that is.
