Ah, a +5 funny for saying I have a 5 year old. Now, to go kidnap me a 5 year old so I don't disappoint anyone on slashdot...

Saturday, Nov. 1st at the Distillery (on L between 22nd & 21st). I think it's 5 bucks. Come up the guy in the green lizard suit and say you read about this on slashdot and he'll buy you a drink.

It's with The Trouble Makers and The Pumpkinseeds. The Pumpkinseeds play 80s metal with spandex and long hair wigs. They're pretty funny even if you didn't go through a metal phase (like me).

Well alrighty then, I'll try to talk like a human being. That's since the complaints about my last comment. No, I'm just kidding. No one on slashdot cares about 1980s Sacramento level punk rock. No wait (pun)k rock. Okay, go with that one, willya?

Here's the article about our show filmed for Trekkies 2.

The comments in the Warp 11 board were pretty good after the shows. The manager was pissed that we had more pictures on the Trekkies site. Dang, it's a Star Trek band. Who the hell cares about stuff like that? It's just a joke.

I don't know if anyone reads this, but here's some show info.

No Kill I, No Kill I: The Next Generation, No Kill I: Deep Space 9, Stovokor (Klingon metal band from Portland) and Klingon Karaoke are playing on July 26th at Capitol Garage in Sacramento. We're being filmed for Trekkies 2. You should show up. Or swing by the house before the show for beer.

So an old Ducati racer/restorer looked at the pictures and said "those aren't Ducati jelly mold tanks, they're from a European Benelli Riverside". Ah great.

I asked the guy I bought the bike from at Avalanche Global Inc (http://avalancheglobalinc.com/) for a refund and he told me to piss up a rope. If you were thinking about getting a minibike or a scooter from them, watch out.

In person they were Ducati tanks, but now in email they're Benelli tanks.

So I picked up an old Duc. I paid way too much for it. Actually it's a fair price, but I shouldn't have bought it. It's got 2 jelly mold tanks which is what got me into this whole thing to begin with. If you don't know what I'm talking about google up "ducati elite".

So now I'll build an Elite replica which is what I wanted and why this whole thing was started. It's a 250, and also came with clip-ons. It's got forks from a newer Japanese bike though, which look nice and will handle better than old Eyetalian forks, but I'll get rid of them for original type stuff.

And I got a job working with monkeys, so that's always good. Everyone loves a monkey job.

Here's my rough plan: I pick up the bike in Sydney, Australia in Sept. of 2004 and make it to New Zealand. Then back to Australia, because I want to circle the continent, and ride to the center to Ayers Rock.

Then it's the New Guinea, the Philipines, Kuala Lampur, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Japan.

And somehow to China, Burma, Bangledesh, India, and Pakistan. From there, I'll probably have to take another ship to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Turkey and then go through most of Europe.

Then back down to Africa. Probably Italy to Tunisia. Algeria, Lybia, Egypt, Sudan. I'm not sure what's going on on that coast, but somehow I'll go south. I'd like to go to Madagascar, and then back over to Africa and work my way down to South Africa. Then it's back up through the other coast until I take a ship to Brazil.

Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Belize, then Mexico.

And then back to the US where I'll check slashdot and catch up on my goatse.cx, in Soviet Union, and PROFIT! jokes.

Alrighty then, I'm going to buy another small Ducatic single so I'll learn how to work on them before I go. I've found a cheap one in Colorado for $100, so I guess I'll be renting a truck sometime soon.

Howdy,

I'm going to ride around the world on a small motorcycle. Probably leaving Sept. 2004. I'm going to bring a laptop (powerbook g3) and a digital camera. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? How about a floor I can sleep on?

I'll be keeping a log (with pictures!) on my site.
