Degrassi + Sorry!
If you ever watch Degrassi take a minute to read the cards. So good.
Lagombra Bicycle Rollercoaster
With hairy bank turns and a highest peak of nearly two meters, the narrow installation is open to anyone willing to risk life and limb for a thrill ride. According to the MU’s director, only one daredevil has been able to complete a circuit.
This looks like a lot of fun but I’m too much of a wimp to do stuff like this. I have never broken a bone, had stitches or been in the hospital and I intend to keep it that was for as long as possible.
Champaign
I spent last night in Champaign, IL and it was awesome. We went to go see my friend Cam’s band, So Long Forgotten, play at a venue called The Shed, which was exactly that. It was an old barn in the middle of nowhere amid corn fields.
After that we went to a bar in Champaign called The Blind Pig. They had $1 pints of PBR and $2 shots. If you live in Chicago then you’ll know that $1 beer is an anomoly that you will rarely encounter and needless to say we were all very excited about it.
After that we went to his bands house which is also in the middle of nowhere and which is called The Wolf. There we rode an awesome two person tricycle down the street, explored a haunted grain silo, saw two shooting stars and put Lil Wayne’s new album on the stereo much to the chagrin of everyone who lived there.
FYI - Goldies on the corner of Lincoln and Bernice has $1 PBR draft all day every day.

Cyclists, Motorists and the Law
“…while cyclists have the same rights—and responsibilities—as motorists, a bicycle is NOT a car, and perhaps shouldn’t be treated as such.”
A really interesting article about car/bike equal rights and ways to make the road safer for everyone.
Bummer
lamb:
NPR is canceling “Bryant Park Project”. If you’ve never listened to it, it was NPR’s foray into a web-oreiented radio show. It was informal and funny and had a great web presence, though there were staffing problems from the start. It will be missed.
It’s always disappointing when NPR cancels a good program. I remember, I was so upset when they canceled Been There, Done That. Why can’t they get rid of Worldview with Jerome McDonnell? I can’t stand that guy/show.
