    I have to get something signed at PSU around 5:30 PM tonight, but Jerome and I will be leaving from downtown around 6:00 PM and head straight over there. I have a few things I need worked on and so does Jerome. There's a slight possibility I may have to drop off my ballot first if I don't get it done on my lunch break. Either way, Doug, I'll give you a call.

    Would geared things be welcome at this fine gathering?

    Of course, but you may have to be hazed and have to prove you have m4d skidz to hang out. ;) jk

    So…I realized this morning I am dumb and double booked my time. I have to go print a poster with my coworker starting at 5-6 for probably at least 3-4hrs. So, Im out, I lied, Im an @sshole. Have fun though.

    It was a good night. Jerome drunkenly chomping his way through a burger was probably my favorite part. Oh, and hanging with Jerome's mom. That was sweet.

    Haha, Jerome was drunk when his mom picked him up. Apparently she doesn't know he drinks. Despite the fact that he has beer cans for spoke cards.

    No, it's only one a month, not once a week. But looks like Max can help you out.

    I bought a Kilo TT frame. It showed up at my office today, so I left early to work on it. I don't know if I've totally screwed up yet. I can't get the F'ing crank arms off of my old frame which is really pissing me off, and can't get the headset on the new frame. I had to take a break from it all so I would't brake anything... not sure if that's even possible, but at the rate I was going it's only a matter of time. I feel like a caveman.

    Haha, good call on taking a break, Andy. If all you've tried to put on so far is the headset, just stop while you can. And quit pulling on those crank arms until you get over to Doug's and have him help you. He's amazing and has built more than one of our bikes before. Give him a call. Wait until after 8. It's worth it.

    Ha, thanks Krysten, I'll stop. Looking forward to meeting him, and working on this bike!
