All's good on the Cyclone.

Spent the day at Siren with me lady. It was where we met 2 years ago (thank you). I wore the shirt I wore that very day 2 years ago and had the same distended stomach I had had then due to crappy food today (beer gut then). Met up with good ol' buddy Matt whom I see way too little of. The sound was horrible as usual. At one point the entire DJ mix at the Stillwell stage sounded like it was being sent through a chorus. My guess is it was the yamaha spx990. And old studio staple from the 1990's. Either way the engineers either have a shitty job there or just do one. Who knows?




A huge fan of Art Brut, Omar wonders if that is indeed a vintage Brut cologne he is smelling. He realizes it's the the sweet smell of a crappy band with a pungent yet valuable singer/spritzer.










1/2 of of the great talent in this band. Unfortunatley Art Brut's drummer is not pictured here.

So I'm getting into bike riding pretty heavily these days. I changed my first flat since I was 12 years old tonight! I'm pretty sure I didn't put any holes in this one. I do rememeber one summer day where i bought 4 tubes in a row to fix my back tire on my ghetto BMX knock off. I kept popping it with my rushed work. I got more and more frustrated and popped them everytime i put them on. I think I finally bought the last one and started to cry a bit. It helped me calm down and focus. Only to fix the flat and leave the bike at a park the next day unattended. It got stolen.

Why would I leave it unattended? Because one of my friends found a Penthouse magazine. This was pre -interent porn my friends. Those were the days where you forgot all about mom's fried chicken diner and dumped everything just to see some bush.

If you're looking for a cheap flat fix head over to NYC Bikes on Havemeyer and South 1st in Williamsburg. Those guys are cheap and quick: $10 for a flat fix including the tube. They back up thier work (replaced a faulty tube for free, no questions asked). Know what they're talking about and seem to go the extra mile everytime.
