last weekend, i went down to harrisburg with eban and holly to ride in the cherry pie. they had a fixed gear class so i figured what the fuck. it was my first road race and i learned quite a bit. the first was not to make changes you your bike the night before. i'd swapped to a smaller cog and wasn't really comfortable pushing that big a gear. i kept up with the pack for about half of it but it was a pretty small pack so when i got dropped there wasn't anyone to draft off so i ended up riding the rest by myself. i passed the women b's and then did my best to stay in front of them. i thought i'd done pretty badly but it turns out i beat out seven other riders.
this weekend i'm going to hit up the jack frost time trial. should be a good time.
for the last week they've been filming a movie at PSU. the movie's about some guy who came back from vietnam with hearing damange and became an activist. he's being played by the lead guy from office space that i always confuse with charlie sheen.
part of it's being shot down at KPSU today. they needed a place that looked like an 1980s radio station and i guess we fit the bill. they came in and built a big fake wall and pulled out a bunch of the old equipment we'd had in the back closet. they're getting ready to shoot now, the funny part is listening to them talk, it's all "hey which movie did i work with you on?" they both rattle off a bunch of titles and then decide on one.
