Personally, I've been in the market for a PowerTap powermeter hub for quite some time. I showed up at 7:09am this morning to make sure I got first pick at the goods. By goods, I'm referring to the hope of a PowerTap. Naturally, my luck seems to be timeless so there was one, WITH A CAMPY FREE HUB, hiding in the back destined for the internet. This puppy, was hand built by Thomas Broadrick and laced to a HED Belgium Series C2 wheel. I won't tell you how much I paid for it, but I will tell you that they could have made a profit off of it - instead, they sold it to me at a price I could just afford. I am forever grateful for the generosity HSP has always shown me.

You better hurry over there before everything is gone! Just as forced myself to leave, I watched a guy scoop up a pair of Zipp 808's at $900. FUUUUUUUCK. The BMC Time Machine frameset (size large) was still there at $375. That's the kind of deals I'm talking about. Show your support for the best bike shop in America.

I do.

I did. Get married, that is. September 15th will forever be the day that I publicly watered eyes because a lady, I just so happen to be completely in love with, walked down an aisle in a pretty white gown to exchange vows with me. We even put rings on eachother's left hands to prove it! Contrary to common belief, we executed a rather small event and were still completely satisfied with it. 45 can be a crowd, but your friends probably invited 150 or more to theirs. Suckers.

Our friend, Scott Duncan (yes, like the yo-yo), did a phenomenal job taking pictures for us. We even requested that everyone leave their phones and cameras alone so they could experience the moment, an "unplugged wedding" one could say. Not a single shitty photo has surfaced because of it, thank Jeebus.

My WIFE, made these boutineers for the boys so we could match a little: Jesse, Michael, Ben, Theodore, Eric (that's me!)

Mollie McGrath somehow making Jessica EVEN MORE BABLY. "Is that an avocado behind your ear?" or are you just happy to see me?

Don't worry, we kissed first.
