I met this dude @ Sound and Fury Records / The Great Basin Community Food Co-op yesterday. Turns out he’s into bacon too. Of course that’s tops in our book. He said he’d take me skateboarding sometime. That’ll be painful. He also does hand silk screening and said he’d design us a T-Shirt! Nice talking to you J!
In other local news:
Trails in Reno were/are closed due to the Hawkin Fire. Nooninator is busting ass up there right now. The bacon in his blood and the pork rinds in his eye will keep him safe.
Dudes ride trails that are closed.
Underbiking. Not what I originally thought (biking in ones underwear).
My friend, the Reno Rambler, sent me this link to a gallery of Allrounders in action. That’s what he rides around town. Cool bike.
I can’t help but think that a Bike Share program would work well in Reno, what with dense urbanization, clustered shopping and tourism being so popular here. Downtown, Victorian Square, The Marina, Meadowood, Summit Sierra. These places aren’t that far from each other. Even three beers deep it only takes 10 minutes or so to get to downtown Reno from the Great Basin Brewery Sparks.
I was also sent this link to a history of Bridgestone bicycles by a friend who once curated the National Museum of Rollerskating. Weirdos are drawn to me like raccoons to crispy bacon.
And finally, let’s take a little stroll back to 1982 shall we…

Think this thing could take a pit bull? Reportedly, an American kid let one of these into his tent while camping, and it proceeded to eat him. That’s gotta just be bad luck though, I think that anything requiring a chain and Hannibal mask is a pet worth keeping.
Overheard in Minneapolis
Be sure to check back in tomorrow for pics, report and commentary on the Outlaw Cross Race #3 from truckee. I’m going to make sure Shawn keeps his pants on this time.
