Interbike ...Vegas Baby!

Oh yeah, and there were some cool bikes too.

Birthday Continued, Hockey Pre-season Begins, and Preparations for Interbike

So the party rolled on, I went to Halcyon as they were supposed to have a customer appreciate night with free booze and food. Tommy, Brandon, and I hung out drinking Mexican beer (Dies Y Seis, Bitches!) The free part was bullshit. Brandon went home. Tommy and I went to The Onion to talk to our friend Josh and score some pizza. We hung out an had a Tecate. Then we went to Jackalope and transitioned into non-Mexican beers. Eventually we hooked up with Josh at Mugshots for a few more beers. I noticed some dude from earlier in the evening who had pissed me off, so I said "Hey!" as I punched my fist into my hand leaving a bruise. Decided it was time to move on. We ended the evening with some girls from Albuquerque at The Side Bar.
Today Dallas plays St. Louis. Preseason hockey gets no respect at the sports bars. During the Stanley Cup I have to fight for the smallest tv in the corner of the bar. During the preseason hockey gets all the attention of Curling or Cricket. Who cares I'm pumped. I love the sound of Razor an Strangis.
I'm going to Vegas next week for Interbike. Ready to ride some kick ass shit, drink some beer, and check out bike stuff. Oh yeah flirt with convention chicks.
...more to come.

Birthday and Punk Rock Flashbacks

So I'm walking out of Ozone Bikes and I see this guy wearing a Plaid Retina shirt. I say those guys were great. We chat for a bit and he says hes in a band with the bass player. Kinda strange as the band wasn't huge (but very well should have been) It was cool just to think about their music again.
My coworker, Tommy, tells me his room mate decided to have a party at their place. We ride over to the house and get some beer. As we load the fridge with the beer, I notice an issue of Cometbus on the fridge. He says it's his room mate's. I later ask her her about the issue as it is not very common to come across one. She says her ex was friends with Aaron. I explain to her how much Crimpshrine meant to me growing up.
She has some friends from Chapel Hill, NC and as a long shot conversation starter I mention the only thing I know about Chapel Hill. Have you ever heard of Hellbender? To which she replys, "They played at my 16th birthday party. I tell her we (Laughing Stock) played with them a long time ago at the Blue Flamingo. They were really great. I bought their cd and eventually lost it. I later struggled to score it the vinyl on ebay.
Weird way to lead into my birthday. I ate some pizza and had a pitcher of beer for lunch with Brandon(my coworker). Then she stopped by the bike shop to bring me an Oreo cupcake with twenty candles on it. Awesomeness!
This already a good one. Now, I wanna listen to some old stuff.
