lowe-fi

low-fidelity, sometimes its just the moment, and all the talent, skill, flair, style, ....the stuff you can't steal, cause really what value does it have, now, not much.   and lo-fi, I guess its just peering into a heart, pulling the skin open with the fingers, messy.

                                                 got the window table at Tired Hands

                                                 the beater, its strong,... good bike

drank some beers, ate a bit.
and I raced George home, in the dark, down neighborhood streets, not sure where the curbs where.  He was moving on his bike, and I had the beater reved up, keeping up.  The growler, nestled in a insulated lunch bag, asleep through it all in the front basket.

maybe this is what life is about

shims beneath three of your legs, but no one notices, cause your functional

I'll go see the Gudied by Voices at the Troc.

cheers, d.

a nice day

today was a good day, a day I'd feel satisfied dying after. not that I don't look forward to waking up tomorrow.  just that, it was a simple day, ... I saw a friend win a race,  and saw friends I don't see often ... I rode my new beater, that was my training today,.... I got a bit done around the house and I got a bit done for the party on Lemon Hill tomorrow,... and then,  a trip to the opening of Tired Hands.  A little brew place.  With Ljiljana, my wife.  an early beer,bread, just some simple plates.  Nice.
I guess that's all I need, and maybe, that's a lot, Nice.  I can appreciate the hard work, of others, and I can toil, and know, that my hard work, ....it means something to me

tomorrow, I'll strive to do better, to beat my demons.

I hope to look back on a day like today, and I'll,...  I'll see how far I fell short of nice,...

I'm almost 50, and feel like I'm 12.   I've so much to learn.  ...but this naivety, its a bit of bliss, knowledge its a bit dangerous,  like it should be....

cheers, and beat who ever you need to beat.  dlowe.

Pie

far out fangtooth

far out fangtooth

out Friday night, went to check out a new venue and some music

sorta another strange place

cool walk down to a basement,

huge rooms

but again the vibe is off

Make it more squallerish, flopped in,

or make it nicer.

@The Underground Arts.

more led lights, hating the led stage lights.

 black dice

Phila. is cool,  and people are out, I sent myself a text, how I feel about this new generation of audience. "The ants are out to eat the sugar".  Well behaved crowds. Consuming.  Good? enough.

and people are doing, trying to do, work hard, for themselves,... I went to a new Woodoven pizza place in Andorra strip mall, (Roxborough).   Good pie, nice place to pop into. No beer.

the art on the walls, real nice...

Pizzeria DiMeo's

the pie was good, maybe needed to be cooked a bit longer, needed just a bit more crisp.

prepped for the ride, trying to fill in the blanks

  yesterday went out to get my 100 in on the cx bike.  broke a spoke at mile 56 and headed home on my wobbly wheel.

did stop for a nice cherry pie, been thinking about cherry pies as of late on my rides.

Cheers ants!   dlowe.

a bit of the BlackDice quick done

I have some rough ideas for shooting a music video, ...daft book stuff... how it works in my mind

Warren's Pretzel

I've just finished a Sprecher Octoberfest, tasty.   A bit tired.   I got some good miles in yesterday.   Went out with my good friend, George Klimi, for an early morning, hitting up the hills in Gladwyne.  George does not race, he did in the past.  But as he says it "why does he want to beat people he does not know?"
so we beat on each other, me the dickhead I'm am when it comes to being competitive, had to try and crush him, Why?, for George taking Georges sprint hill from me, our last ride.  George is a way better sport than me, most are, I'm a gloatter.    Then that night I made it out to gv30 to drive the rest of the pep outta my legs.

I'm not good at pre-visualizing,.... I'm looking forward to Bike Race.  Plan to get down to Lemon Hill to help set up the Philadelphia Ciclismo and Revolution Wheelworks tents, have a beer or two snap some pre-race pictures, then hop on my bike and get some Cool shots of the Race.

I think sometimes that I don't see all the work that goes into stuff.   That I just can see the product and oggle it.  Like it just happens, simple.     I like taking photos, and I'm trying to get some good pops, capture it, how it lives in my mind.  So after a hard day of riding, I'll be out on my bike today, riding the course, looking for some places to snap.   I enjoy the search, as much as the find.

Looks a bit like a bike victory salute, the W melded intop of the H.   Its Warren's initials.  On the base of the Pretzel.   I like the Pretzel.  most of the time I like Warren, he rides, races, a bit brash, and a good person. 

the pretzel's been tagged.  Yo "Sysinsl Oyw"  hows it going?

the Pretzel park is where I won a doughnut eating contest put on by Bruce Willis during the filming of the 6th sense.

I stopped by the park today cause I was buying bread and crack rolls from Agiato.

my mind wanders a bit, now and then, I and just try to keep up with it.

if you go to the race....    stop by Lemon Hill, and have a beer.  

Cheers, d.
