010: the mend.


Saturday after a nice ride, Jan, Monkey and I sat outside of the local coffee house enjoying an overpriced, yet still tasty drink. We watched the cougars descend upon town, and placed bets on whether a group of folks walking up the street would go into Starbucks or Hollywood tans.

Yeah, we were bastards but the people watching was awesome and it was a beautiful day. We had just finished a beautiful ride. What's a fatmarc to do?

I watched as a car pulled up, and a young kid got out. He waived good by to his father, reached into the back of the car and picked up his guitar. The kid proceeded to walk over the sidewalk, set his hat down on the ground and start playing.

We sat for the better part of an hour talking shit about the world, burn notice, how much I hate Seinfield, and of course cyclocross.


The kid sat across the street playing guitar, singing to the anyone and everyone who walked on by. Ballsy kid, talented too. When he played this, I was really stoked.

Totally impressive. Totally cool.

I wish I was that cool.

respect.

that wreckless eric song is so fucking good! Did he have an impressive 77 catalog? Did he play the Only ones song "another girl another planet". Did he have business cards? does he do graduation parties, bar and/or bat mitzvas?
