Now Playing: Minutemen The Cheerleader
A week between posts makes one weak. Deliverance is my "night time" project. I have a real job and a family that keeps me real busy. I love doing Deliverance stuff but sometimes finding the time for such things as blog entries is difficult. I got tired of my 80s-aqua colored bike, as I knew I would and with the weather clock clicking rapidly I managed to lay down a new coat of paint. I honestly still liked the aqua but a lot of people are on the same color and I just couldn't take it any more. I guess the red isn't totally original either but there is nothing new under the sun, literally, when it comes to the color wheel. The gyro (Snafu Mobeous) is a long story that I would rather not get into. I will say that I am really fucking sick of working on my bike right now.
Matt Sparks won best trick at the big Flow contest in Ohio this past weekend (Flip from Albes should be posting pix soon. Sparks also got a clip in the opening intro to the new Props, which is awesome. I couldn't tell you if he had more clips inside or not because I had to go to bed before I finished watching it because I stayed up real late working on my damn bike that still isn't running.
I got some interesting replies to the win a free Bar Bag contest, but Minnesota's Bill Sympson won it all with the correct answers of "Supersuckers Born With a Tail" and Crandall's demonic phone number. Froseph Ardelean took his Bar Bag to a more long distance level with this road bike application
Fro's good buddy Chris Hatfiled scared all of really good when his chain broke at Modern on Sunday. He was cranking full speed toward the hip and his chain gave way right before the "A" ramp. Luckily, he got his hands out as he was falling, but the old "into the face of the ramp" trick can be hard on the old mug. He was somehow okay and even continued riding sans the busted drivetrain. What a trooper.
I've been trying to play guitar for years and am still terrible at it. I stopped at a pawn shop in Flint last week that had some extremely good deals and came up on this:
I bought the amp a couple days later at a place called "Junkyard Guitars" in Royal Oak. This is a cool spot if you're in the area. I didn't even notice this at first, but I couldn't be more stoked...
I don't aspire to play any Metallica licks, but you gotta love the phantom image of good metal done badly.
