Pabst and Grilled Cheese

Our night started on the ball field at Sacajawea so we could watch the eclipse. It was all I expected it to be.

After being hassled at the Pear Tree Inn for not looking 21, we saddled up and slid down the hill on a short ride to The Swamp. We were greeted with open arms and an invitation to stow our bikes in the back. A few drinks later we were back on it.

The Baby Bar was our next and final destination. Get this and I'm only saying it once. We drank Pabst and had grilled cheese sandwiches for a dollar each. I have died and gone to heaven.

Next month's ride will be on a Friday night and the weather will be much improved. I expect a pretty good turnout.

Also there is a rock show tonight, you should go.

Fiasco Eight

Wednesday the 20th marks the eighth Full Moon Fiasco. This time the ride will be preceded by a Lunar Eclipse. According to people that know things, the pinnacle of the affair will be about 7:30 (that's Pacific time for the rest of you). As you know, that's a bit early for the usual Fiasco crowd so here is the plan:

I will be up here on South Hill so my plans are to simply look east and, bingo, moon. There is a baseball field to the South of my place and I suppose I will ride over there and watch it in the darkness. If you kids want to kick it in a soggy field of dreams with me, come on. I'm sure I won't be there too long and the Pear Tree is mere seconds from there.

The start will still be the Pear Tree. As some of you know, I have joined the ranks of the infirmed, so I haven't been out to do any research on a new starting point down the hill that isn't normally a destination, as one of the FBCers put it. We'll give that some thought Wednesday night.

I also figure that with the improved street conditions, we could lengthen the ride a bit. We can talk route then, too.

To sum up:

Wednesday 20th

7:00 - Eclipse

8:00 - Pear Tree Inn

9:00 - Ride our Bikes

I guess I could have said that to begin with.
