B.C. Clettes here Last Thursday

You will be able to see through the Clown House, All the decor and detritus will be gone...
But there is still us...
And a bunch of other cool people like the B.C.Clettes!

Dingo,

we will be rolling into PDX on the 30th for a day of fun in town. then we'll be refreshed and ready to rock on the 31st. i will be checking to see if the sprockettes will be offering us a place to sleep, so no need to worry about that.

can you confirm if there will be a sound system? we'll have both a cd or an mp3 player. we *may* have something to play music with, but would love to have it amped up and something proper to play our tunes on.

i will send promo material in the next week or so too - poster and flyer stuff so you can paper portland with it!

thank ya thank ya!

wobbling down 24th street

Rabbit made himself a tallbike and was showing it off at the cafe, it's sweet.
He used high performance, racing components and had some help from a local bike shop.
I wasn't even awake this morning yet I was on his bike, wobbling down 24th street.
Before I jumped on he said "Don't step there or the wheel folds in half." good thing I was still groggy or I might not have jumped on at all.

My opinion:
Rabbit has build himself a vehicle that is in perfect working order.
The drive works flawlessly, the chain fits all the sprockets and it has many gears.
The steering is also dead on from the goose neck to the fork.
Those are the two places where know how makes the bike fly, without steering and drive the bike is just art (there are a few of those turds in my yard).
So Rabbit did an outstanding job dispite the fact that it is capable of going 35-40 M.P.H. and has no brakes.
Hey Ood, Biz, I found that special peice of equipment that you have a bond with.
It's in the office.

Because I'm so damn smart...

I went to the local taquoria and got myself a "Manchaca" burrito (thats Spanish for entrails and hooves I think)and while there I noticed a 6 pan full of limes.
I grabbed the little paper bag they give you and filled it.
When I got home, I pulled out the trust food possessor that I got at the Goodwill bins (I bought it by the pound so I think it cost about 2 bucks.).
I have never seen the instructions so I messed with it a long time.
Finally Caffo came in and I asked her to put the parts in order.
I dumped a whole tray of ice in there and about 50 ounces of lime water.
When I turned that thing on, water and ice shot in all directions WOW!
Turns out, you should crush the ice first, then add the lime water for a summer cooler.

Local man buys last Clown House shirt????



Yup, we sold all of them, thanks for the support yall, I think we are gonna be alright.
Offers are coming in from many points across the metro, but most are too far from all of our friends and commerce.
When one comes in close I'll snap it up.
I ordered more shirts, they will be yellow with black ink.
Thats for Bizzy's colors, she takes the best photos of us and I want to show her we love her.

Thanks so much Justa for capturing us so well on paper, I'm down to be a zombie in your movie tell me when.

Some of the last bike jousts of the Alberta Clown House



I love Portland free boxes. So much of the coolest stuff I ever brought home came from random boxes of stuff people put out. Today I found t...
