Let's get this week started...

Had an awesome time at the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show and a few parties associated with it. I talked to builders I've never met and builders I have admired for many years- decades even.

I have two galleries of images up on my Facebook page- beautiful stuff to slobber over and cool people.

Also, big news; we got the band back together! Yes, the Spokesmen have recorded episode #37. It's a bit over an hour (and I ramble again) but it was an awesome show. I really loved getting back together with the group and having a good talk.

Ok... time to go to work.

San Diego Custom Bicycle Show

I meant to mention this show earlier, but starting today and running through Sunday is the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show. The list of exhibitors is pretty impressive and is a good sampling of many of the best builders in the US - primarily the West Coast- that you would see at the larger North American Handmade Bike Show (NAHBS) that has grown over the past 5 years.

I'll be walking around and hanging out for a good part of the day Saturday- not as an exhibitor- but as a fan of the craft and a very happy bike geek in my favorite element. The show is just off the 8 freeway at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center, in their Golden Pacific Ballroom.

If you're in the area this weekend and like bicycles, I really recommend that you check the show out. I'll be the tall bike nerd walking around with camera in hand and a big goofy smile. Say hi if you see me... once I snap out of my bike lust trance, I might even say hi back!

(PS- I have it on good authority that their will be a mini reunion of former employees of Masi California from the 70's/80's era around 1:00PM on Sunday... just in case you can make it.)
