Hot Time, Summer in the City.

I haven't written in a few months, but a lot has been going on. I'm going to quickly outline all of this for myself and anyone else who happens to be reading or care:




1. Adventures- I've made a point to go on a bunch of them when I can. I plan on going on more. These aren't all bicycle related, but I'm sure most of them will be.


2. Music- I've been learning the guitar, and therefore, built one to play electric when I'm good enough.





The guitar I built from a kit I ordered from Ebay. Naturally, I made a few modifications and upgrades. It sounds great! The weird box looking thing with the cable sticking out of it is actually a recording microphone I built out of some parts I had lying around. It's 2 sided- singing into one side sounds like a megaphone, and the other mostly like a regular mic. I think the next one I build is going to have a better filter and maybe a tone knob.

3. Artwork- I've been painting murals, and I've relaunched my website.


What you're looking at above is a great space in Fishtown that we were allowed to paint at/on. It was of course vandalized shortly after, but whatever. You can't do street art/public art without accepting that it's going to get destroyed someday. Usually sooner rather than later.


I've also moved into a new place with my girlfriend, and am in the midst of getting that all together. It has a lot more space for projects and a nice backyard too. I'll probably post more Mural pics later on, but for now you can go to my website to see more.
