Honorable Brandi Carlile
Brandi Carlile - Late Morning Lullaby live at SXSW. Her entire album - The Story - is mindblowing.

Saturday off = productivity
I'm finally off on a Saturday because I was supposed to race Tilles Park, but because it rained/sleeted/slightly snowed all afternoon, it was cancelled.
Therefore, I was forced to continue organizing my new apartment situation (and buy some food, DVDs, a CD, espresso maker, and espresso grinds along the way). My first move was getting coffee with Mindi and catching up on the past few months. Mindi and I go WAY back (ok, only about 3-4 years) and first met at a bicycle race under some rather interesting circumstances. All you need to know is this chick is GOOD people - you should know her, and be her friend too.
My next task was...ah...to hard to actually type...so painful...must use photo...
After that fiasco, I proceeded to show Yolanda, my favorite cashier at Whole Foods, my new tattoo. She keeps telling me she wants an orchid tattoo, but needs to first grow the orchid seeds she owns. Keep working at it girl, you can do it. I then decided to use the $10.84 Borders gave me for buying about $400 worth of merchandise, and bought about $40 more. I ran into an old co-worker, Shawn, while leaving and decided to go snowboarding with him and our friends next winter in BC, Canada. Sweet. I then proceeded down the "Brentwood Avenue" to REI to say hello to my buddies Rob and Eggo who work in the bike area...to discover Eggo was not working there FOR THE SECOND TIME I VISITED TO SAY HELLO. Anyways, I owe her a beer and it was fantastic seeing Rob - good vibes and good Gary Fisher talk.
Next, I visited Schiller's to have my digital camera fixed and Pentax looked at. My Canon Elph SD400 has been dropped (I just dropped it again while picking it up to see which model number to type, excellent) and slightly cracked and will not take photos any longer...
...and determined that the cost to ship it, have it estimated, then repaired (if possible) would be just as much as buying a new, better, cleaner, working digital camera. So I splurged and bought the SD1000. Now my postings should bling. If you like good, quality customer service this shop is almost as good as ours.
I then proceeded to use my new hand-held vacuum to clean up all the tiny wingdings floating around my apartment; you know, the huge amount of items Swiffer cannot pick up (bad marketing). Oh, and Viviano's sells large quantities of QUALITY Italian wines and olive oil at CHEAP prices. Dig it. Now the only thing I need to organize is the increasing mound of clothes in my room. A few of you reading this know just how obnoxious it is...but cleaning the kitchen is SO much easier!
Tonight: ciabatta & olive oil, Chianti, and live jazz. No rainy weather is getting me down. The only thing getting me down is the Post Office/US Gov. Supposedly, it takes 10-12 weeks for the government to create passports, even though the website says 4-6 weeks. What are they doing in DC?!

Oh, happy day
Happy day after tattoo day! Pictures soon to come...
I've unfortunately decided NOT to ride to work today. I'm slightly paranoid about messing up the tattoo in the rain, otherwise I would love to hop on the T1 and get wet. I'll have to sit on the trainer tonight and finish watching Ken Burns' "Jazz" DVD set. It's phenomenal, I recommend it to anyone; at the least it will give you good dinner conversation starters.
The Team Revolution meeting went over well last night. I love standing back and watching the women interact, get a feel for who they are and what they want out of the club. These chicks are hella fun and completely enthused - exactly what we want!! I'm glad Carrie is starting the club again and doing it even better this time. I foresee expansion throughout the US for this team/club.
Big ups to Truckey for Gaucho fries, spirits, and brilliant conversation.
I will post tattoo pictures soon.
