Wierd coincidence

This afternoon in the workshop I got a call from Joel, the drummer from Afrolicious and Pleasure Maker (Thursdays at the Elbo Room). I met Joel when we were on the 2-Mile Challenge tour together. He said,

"Sorry I couldn't make it to your gig last week, I was working."

"Doing what?"

"Moving."

"Moving? Like for cash?

"Yeah."

"How much they paying you?"

"18 an hour."

Stopped on my commute...

My commute to the Rock the Bike workshop takes me past the Embarcadero, where, if I'm lucky, I'll see flatlander Pete Brandt practicing his latest 'links', or sequences of moves.

 

Three supercool Down Low Glow experiences that happened so fast I couldn't take a picture.

Been pushing really hard lately at the workshop and left tonight after 10. I'm entertaining tomorrow at Specialized's holiday party. We'll be doing a cruiser ride with employees and apparently lots of cool kids. I wanted to finish up as many Down Low Glow shipments as I could tonight so I don't have it hanging over me this weekend.

Our commute home.

When your new assembly and shipping employee has a hernia, and he's carrying a heavy messenger style backpack with the used mountain bike frame you gave him strapped on it, and he's on the cell phone with his father as you ride home to West Oakland BART together, telling his dad he has back pain that shoots down his left leg, and you know he doesn't have health insurance and is fighting the system to schedule his surgery, you don't just keep riding. You stop, take his pack, and strap it to your Xtracycle, even though you're already carrying your own stuffed messenger bag, 8 DLG's, and a box of Schwalbe tires that the Ginger Ninjas need for their tour. Because you can.
