update

Hey, so i havent dont this in a while...

Snake alley was a bummer. Some idiot crashed me out after the whistle blew and I broke my right shifter. I was still able to ride it, shift and brake, but it was flopping around. I started 2nd row. I was 2nd to last up the snake. I was able to work my way up to 31st, out of like 70, which was still disappointing. Grman got 4th, and I knew I could have been up in the group he was in easily. Melon city was boring. Rock Island was rainy, and thus, super sketchy. I survived like 5 separate crashes right in front of me. I finished like 24th I think? Tulsa was a bit disappointing. My legs didn't feel great all weekend. The second day logan and I were trying to do something in the closing laps, but neither of us had the legs. The last day was brutal, and the day I felt the best, but was only able to pull off a 21st, (they paid 20 deep). I think 35 guys finished, and around 80-90 started. The race on saturday was protested by west borough baptist church. if you dont know who they are, look the psychos up. I went to this show last week at the pageant. It was awesome. Best live performers i've seen yet. You should really watch this video. The song is awesome. And it gives a hint of how insane Karen O and her costumes are. The guitarist took some pictures from the stage during the show. I'd love to see a collection of those.



here's the same song at the pageant when I saw it. she came out after the encore wearing this cloth mask. She hit a button and all these pink neon tubes lit up, as you can see in this video. I was in the pit, about 5 feet to the left of where this person was.
