PURE SWEET HELL

Posted February 15, 2005 @ 6:06am

Howdy Rokkers,lest you did not know it, this weekend will be a maelstrom of bicycle culture in our fair city. Friday night at One On One Studio, the closing party for 21 Days to Paris will take place. Your last chance to check out Caroline Yang's excellent TDF photo exhibit. As the weekend coincides with the annual QBP Open Haus, (Frostbike), expect many bike industry luminaries to be present. But the big deal is Saturday night. After taking in the Hank 3 show at First Avenue, be prepared to attend the screening of the American cyclocross film, PURE SWEET HELL, midnight at the St. Anthony Main theatre. Meet at One On One from 8-11 pm for a mixer and then RIDE to the show on your cross bike, if you have one.Happy Birthday today, to my Pops. Capt. Larry is 73!

In a straight homage/ripoff of the MOST FACTORY MAG (as it was known) we "appropriated" their original logo into our Bicycle Punkrock Action t-shirt, about 2 years ago. Today, I'm here to let you know that they are officially all gone. You snooze, you lose, as Oz used to say...New hoodies on the horizon, this time in "dark chocolate" for all you Darryl Dawkins fans.

Groundhog Day?

Posted February 2, 2005 @ 6:06am

Hey, isn't Feb. 2 traditionally ground hog day? Well with our first "unsafe air" alert in 25 years, ain't nobody gonna see their shadow today. That's alright, just remember to keep the windows rolled up in your SUV...This Saturday is the 8th Annual STUPOR BOWL. This year's event will follow a points system, with 30 different stops, including the Dubliner in St. Paul. I expect to see all the local hotheads on parade, as well as many out of town friends, and a certain lack of regard for personal safety, as is often the case.In local nooze, the first run of CRC Chrome bags are SOLD OUT, though you can win one as a prize during the aforementioned STUPOR BOWL. Stay tuned for further developments.FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS: Now back to our regularly scheduled programs.Stay classy, Minneapolis.
