Ready, steady, race

Have things been really slow in blogland these days or is it just me? Besides my own lack of rambling many of the blogs I check daily have also been pretty slow. Admittedly I've had a bit of writers block the past couple of weeks. Here in Sweden everyone is sort of bummed out about the long winter. Every time we get a hint of spring we get another immediate dose of winter. Last Sunday I was in a t-shirt working on m'sweet's bike and by Tuesday I was clad in my usual long johns and all-terrain boots. I'll use the bleak weather as a scapegoat to my inactivity here.

However, I can tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed my DJing adventure this past weekend (see setlist below). It had been probably a year since my last attempt. It was good fun and a nice change of pace for me. In a perfect world I'd get behind the decks about once a month; we shall see if that is in the stars for me here. I took a few chances (Phil Collins' 'Easy Lover') but generally kept my selections pretty safe as to not disrupt the bouncing bodies in front of me.

In other news, my strenuous search to find a bicycle of my liking that wasn't marked up 300% more than it should be finally paid off. Well, you have to figure in a little bit of a price increase to import anything overseas. Next Tuesday I'll trek down to Stockholm and lay down some coin for a brand new, fairly priced, Specialized Langster: single speed (natch) with front and back brakes (imagine that!). I'll throw a 16t cog and lockring on the fixed side of the flip flop, remove the back brake, put on the Koobi saddle I already have and my Nashbar time trial bars. But now I'm just getting dorky. We'll chat more soon, promise.
