3:39 p.m. stopped by the blaq designs booth. at least one of the owners is from ohio; kent, if i remember correctly from the welcome party on friday. i need a new bag for serious. the lining of mine has been creased to the point that it lets the water in, which isn't ideal for commuting in the northwest. they said they'd give me the special show price even if i didn't jump to order during the show (we've got just over an hour). i'll need a backpack this time. the shoulder make for pain anymore if it's loaded with anything heavy. getting old. and getting hit by that car helped too.
3:49 p.m. traffic is definitely slowing. i'm noticing flip flops. the sun, it seems, is going to stay out for the day. whoa. there's a gay face. like, seriously gay face.
the guy getting his bike photographed right now has it draped in medals and an american flag jersey. track champion? the bike, from ticycles, really doesn't look it. he's really concerned with how those medals look. he has to adjust them every time the photographer adjusts the bike. it's obvious that she knows the camera isn't going to take a true enough shot to let anyone read them. what do i know about technology, though. nothing. these bikes are fancy!
he took the medals off for one more picture. they're jangling around his neck as he walks the bike away.
4:01 p.m. joseph ahearne makes beautiful bicycles. integrated rack systems (front and rear), whatever you'd call the top tube that sweeps through the seat tube to connect with the...somwehere -- and that sweeping thing connecting that same top tube to the seat tube. it's off the photo backdrop now, and i still have to sit here, so i can't give any better description.
who could ever have ridden that english cycles bike? i get that it's for time trials, but no one's back is that long. still using your imaginations, kiddies?
4:13 p.m. money. it's bottom line time. sell some units. that's what they're calling them at the show this year. "units." i'm just playing along. so far this year i've sold zero. it's all about the futures.
