Hey art-fags,right now is the time to get dowwwn to One On One Studio for their very first art installation featuring recent works by The Mayor of Drunkingham, Steve Smith. Many of you may know Steve; he's one of the NorCal Amigos, part of Blue Collar Bikes, and one of the most genuine, sweet souls you'll ever meet. In fact, you can meet the man on Friday, November 21 for the closing party at One On One. (As the flyer says: from 7pm till Late.) But don't wait until then, head on down to One On One to see the fine work by this talented artist, check up on Catboxxx's coffee bar, and buy some shit from GeneO. Ok, bye.www.drunkingham.com-Hurl

Dano announced the start with a simple \"Go\", no beer swilling/can crushing this year. The course was fairly rough with lots of rocks. I saw at least half dozen flats on my first lap. I did the beer stop short cut the first lap and took a bunch of pictures. Next two laps I did the technical section but just stopped...
Rob Ogren, his wife Carrie, and Gary Fifield are in Melbourne for the 2003 Single Speed Worlds, the lucky bastards. Here's a report from Rob: Yesterday was the Barbie On the Yarro because of Melbourne Cup Day. Big Horse Race and everyone in Melbourne gets the day off. Dano organized the barbie by putting Mallachi in charge. Mistake. All the barbies were taken by the time we got there. Stupid us, we showed up only 15 minutes after the appointed hour. Everyone else started showing up after. Someone had a gas grill so we didn't starve.It was a delightful day with temps of 25C. It was our first really nice day. Everyone got burned except us. There was maybe 35 of us total, but a pretty mellow group since not a single derby happened. But much beer and booze was consumed. The core group headed off to the corner bar (www.cornerbar.com) to have a few mugs and chips to cap off the day. It was your usual sleezy/biker bar with a few hookers thrown in. But very...
