what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

It was a simpler time and not just in a canned-ham-with-Tang-and-bread-way but in a symbiotic-sympathetic-local-bike-shop-way when Counterbalance was actually at the foot of the counterbalance and Adam answered the phone and every couple months I could put an ad in my zine and trade it for bike parts.

That bike shop opened on the same day that that I opened my messenger career.THOSE were the days.

Sitting in a lobby Tending bar at play being performed in an office bldg of entrepreneurial inovation! Thinking of you not in that prison sense but because across the lobby is a banner from one of the tenants-Kickstand 'connect, learn, grow' how does it feel to be so far ahead of the curve you're not visible on the horizon of those behind you.

it's like some kind of Doppler effect when things are so far ahead of the curve they appear retarded aka not-up-to-speed when viewed from the hip current vantage point like the building inspector who told Ron Suthpin his shop wasn't up to code and Sutphin said "it's so far beyond code, you don't even know what to make of it" palabra back atcha

that reminds me of the day you rode 75 miles for work on a fixed gear with platform pedals in flip flops

It was brakeless too!
