Midwest Rules

This is why the Midwest rules. How many people do you know who’d actually admit to this sh*t? ~ Good people.

A photo of the Mysterious John Funkie

This dude is the man. He’s got all the good records and he’s f*cking invisible! For all you folks who have heard him on the radio, this is what the guy actually looks like.

CHOPOUT Update – “sporks”

Things are coming together. Got a new sleeping bag on Friday. My old one is back at my brothers house on the East Coast. Started making a list of all the stuff I need to pack. I even took a trip to REI to look at all the fancy gadgets their trying to sell. I ended up buying a pocket can opener for .59 cents and a really funny spork which I gave to my son since he’s currently learning how to use utensils. All in all I learned that a tarp, a knife, a lighter and a tin can pretty much cover the basics.

Just a couple quick reminders and useful tips for those planning on attending:
– Be Cool. This is an all INCLUSIVE event.
– Pack light but stay warm.
– There is a lodge VERY near by for most of our drinking/eating necessity.
– There are new shower facilities which include a crapper.
– Gonna crash in your sleeping bag under the stars? RECONSIDER IT. That’s some Hollywood John Wayne bullshit. Maybe a tent isn’t a horrible idea. It’s up to you. It’s your trip, not mine.
– Cash – Cash – Cash
– Cell signals are spotty. Towers are being built but sh*t happens slowly out there.
– Be nice to locals (we’re in their house).
– Warm hats are good.
– Cook a potato in the fire by wrapping it in foil and setting it in alongside the coals (45-60 min).
– Empty Zip Lock bag + air = cheap pillow
– Lastly, and perhaps most importantly…BEER. We may need beer run volunteers.

See everyone around the camp fire.

Another Firsth Thursday in Minneapolis

Headed down to Dulono’s last Thursday to check out the bikes and meet up with friends. Tagged along behind Zac Doom (Heavy-Clothing.com), Hans, and the other fellas all the way down Lake Street. Finally officially met Zac in person which was very cool. A good time was had by all. Here’s a few photo highlights. I’ll post a few more later.
