chicago trip

what started as going up to chicago to see High on Fire and Goatwhore for a night turned into a weekend long blowout. found out Steve and Jeremiah's shop were having a huge party the following night. somehow the planets were aligned and Lee was in Chicago for layover. he ended up changing his ticket and staying for the weekend as well. honestly, it couldn't have been planned any better. ended up seeing some killer bands, hanging out with old friends/meeting new ones, and checking out some rad motorcycles. to top it off, i was given 1984 mongoose "Californian" BMX bike, which was basically the first bicycle i owned when i was a kid. pretty epic weekend...

 

this was the very first Ducati engine. it was called "Cucciolo" it bolted into a bicycle.

 

this man is crazy.

december riding

i had the afternoon off and the temperature was close to 70 degrees. couldn't pass up a chance to ride. never understood why people store their bikes for the winter. i'm trying to ride at least once every month of the year. blasted out I-70 past plainfield, then got on some back roads. goat hollow road, robb hill road, bunker hill road. stopped and checked out an old observatory. tried to take it off road to park by some old barns and crashed in the mud.

ummm?!?!

this is the funniest thing i've seen in a long time.

daniel higgs

seems like i get to catch daniel higgs live every 12 years or so. last night i saw him play in bloomington and like every other time it is was a treat. he's probably one of the more prolific people that i grew up with. from music, to tattoos, to visual art, he's ever ever expanding horizons. check out his stuff.

tale of a cyst

so this cyst decided to party in my neck for the last few months. it got super rowdy a few times, and ended up infected. seriously, what a pain in the neck. enough was enough, and it had to come out the other day. it ended up being the size of a golf ball. i was so tired of it, i just left it at the hospital.
