We went to go see Gary Louris with his side project band, Golden Smog. They
were excellent. I'll post some pics up when I get a chance. We're going to
see the Smoking Popes later this month. Remember them?

I always tried to stay out of that deathtrap on Chambers _especially_.
Since one is almost always moving faster than the cars, going east in
particular, my tactic was to pass cars to the left of the
double-yellow, and then duck back into the safety of the scrum in the
right lane when a bus or something showed up in the oncoming traffic
lane. An effective riding technique, but it does get the adrenaline
flowing ;-).

All of the hair on the back of my neck is standing up.

Why not? That's what Gordo does every year.

The Paycheck version.

We just watched Punk Attitude the other day. A 2-dvd box set documentary.
Lots of interviews with Jello and many others. I recommendo...

Yep, depends on the situation. Your email makes me recall that I was
taking a lane when it happened.

Eh. It happens. If there's a good side, it forces me to spend more time
in the hot tub. Of course, at 104, it's actually cooler than the 'real
feel' outside the past few days.
