199: cretin hop

Tonight was the last DCCoD practice at the School X. I am always saddened by this last practice. It means the season is coming into it’s final half. It means that finding daylight to ride in is almost impossible. It means we relocated to a new practice area, which while very fun, has nothing on School X.
breyla-la looks good in the black:
Rotten Robert demonstrates rule number 8 of the DCCoD: always overdress at practice.
After practice we all headed to El Jefe:
Tonight Robert and I got to share pot tonight. No Silly, not that pot, this pot:Spicy! Tasty too…
JD is someone I really respect, and have affection for. He has written an excellent essay here.
I saw an awesome Ramones documentary last night called End of the Century. If the Ramones impacted your life, you must see this. I became aware of the Ramones in late '89. The first time I heard them I can remember saying to myself, " damn are you kidding me? This is how it should be." I was lucky enough to see them 3 times. Each time I saw them, they stormed the stage with the Good, the Bad and the Ugly as their entrance music each time and proceeded to blow me away. Too good.
Remember when you're at the races this weekend Cheer nicely okay? We're all in this together. Without community the fun part of cross is pretty much dead.

i was filming the elite race at granogue and saw those rocks. when the pros rolled by - they all asked me to move them - which i did.

Sabotaging a race is worthy of a beatdown!

#3 collest moment in my life: Clash concert. 1980. Bonds Theater, Times Square. The Ramones were there. Standing behind me in the audience. Magnificently ugly up close. RIP Joey.

See ya Saturday!

I saw the Ramones fall of 1979 at the Auditorium on the University of Illinois campus. 3 chords at 100 miles an hour. I think they played over 30 songs in 90 minutes. Awesome and efficient. God I love those guys.
