sample of the slip project and lots of little drawings shaping up for a book.
Went thrift store shopping this week. I had a day off in the middle of the week which is always nice. Found some new lovely shades, an amazing bookcase with glass front shelves that I've been wanting forever and all the supplies to make this lovely bag for grocery and project lugging.
Critical mass was yesterday, good thing C. called me to remind me just before they left. I have missed about 5 months of CM. I threw on my shoes and sweater and filled up my water bottle and was out the door with a low rear tire and an odd squeak. I caught up with the tail end. We rode through gaslamp, which is always fun on friday nights, through the baseball stadium, over to point loma and then to Ocean Beach . We lost a lot of people at this point, but the locals were still really impressed with all the bikes. I also found a bike brother, someone who has my exact front fork on his raleigh bike, Alex. His friends got us out of OB and back into downtown, thankfully I met these guys, 'cause I would have been seriously lost and it would have been a long night ride/walk home in the dark. It wasn't til we were cruising back up 5th that we realized we have a mutual love of Pho. I have been on the hunt for a good Pho place and apparently Alex knows the place so we agreed to a Pho schmate soon. Can't wait. We split off at University, they headed to the bar, and I headed up the hill to home. Along the way I ran into another guy on his way home from CM with a speaker hanging around his neck and a cd deck strapped to his bike. We laughed about how long the ride was, by this point it was about 11pm and we had been riding for 3 hours straight. Split off at the same street and headed home. Stretching and sleeping never felt so good.
