I’ve decided that I need to find excuses to wear some of my most questionable attire. I think you will agree that the above jumpsuit is one of the most sublimely ridiculous garments ever to have survived the 1970s. Those bells! Holy moley…this is one out-there outfit. This one isn’t quite so whacky as the […]

I think I might have mentioned that I was going to make a belt out of a scrap of bowling alley carpet. I probably posted about it on Twitter. Anyway, I found a little strip of leftover carpet trimmings in a dumpster downtown a few weeks ago, and was inspired to make a belt out […]

The New Orleans writeups are going to be posted probably Friday or Saturday. Instead, why don’t we re-visit Halloween with a couple of videos from the costumed cyclocross race.

torrid.com is the place to go. That is if you are an over 6′ size 12. As you will see, they work pretty darn well on the ectomorphic build. Photo Credit to Roger Harrison of Lanterne Rouge Cycling Joel and one of his co-workers, Dean, hit upon the notion of a team costume: “patient” and […]

me: “I’m off for lunch…gotta deliver a possum and procure a false beard” boss: (raises eyebrows) oooh-kay me: It’s an artificial possum! The plush possum was a joke gift for a friend, and the beard is part of the weekend’s Halloween Festivities Extravaganza.

I’m going as the Ghost of Fashion Indescretions Past this coming Halloween. It’s overall going to be pretty easy. I had some embarasing old clothes around from my highschool days of the mid 1990s, I can still see out of my glasses from back then and I have absolutely no sense of shame whatsoever. There’s […]

I think wearing bloomers helps foster a good time. At least, I had on both times I went out wearing this outlandish heap of fabric, though honestly, I am sure the events themselves brought the fun, I just brought the Really Huge Sleeves. Friday night was, of course, Critical Mass, and our CMs here in […]

I’m going to go play tonight. Bicycle Drag Races, out by Acme and Grinder’s. 2-block sprints. All guys must wear dresses or skirts, all girls must sport facial hair of some description. I’ll be back tonight or early tomorrow with pictures and a write up. I’m excited. This is liable to be a pretty fun […]

I’ve been lousy about updating lately. So, in the grand spirit of “Day Late, Dollar Short,” I’ll tell ya about yesterday. Pretty much the highlight of yesterday was the Urban Exploration ride out of Acme Bicycles. It’s always a good time–you never know who will come or where we’ll end up. I rolled up just […]
