We're Going to a Party, It's Your Party
Sunday evening seems to be the routine for the blog. I'll try to check in once during the week. Tonight's soundtrack is provided by Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, the new Rogue Wave LP, King Tee, and Jay-Z. The fucked up thing about using an older laptop to control iTunes and blog at the same time is that sometimes the slow processor gets hung up. Like right now if I hit the shift key it momentarily stops the sound card. I'm getting this weird staccato effect on Bright Eyes' "Landlocked Blues". I tried to rock it on beat like a dj mixer, but to no avail. Not funky.
If you haven't checked in over there lately, I suggest hitting up the blog at bringdownbush.org. Jeremy is experiencing some pretty amazing things down in Algiers. As the corporate media spends less and less time focusing on the area, the vultures are swooping in to take advantage of the situation. There's new action daily on the site.
Yesterday's Tamalpa XC Challenge went well. By my count there were 11 former UCDavis runners in the field of 70 or so. Excellent showing by the fellas and it was extra cool to have a beer (provided by the race organizers!!!) after and catch up a bit. Hopefully we'll get to that a little more after next week's PA Championships in Golden Gate Park. Oh, and much props to my Fleet Feet teammates and pit crew who changed a blowout on the Mazda in minutes, on I-80 at 8am on the way to the race. Well oiled machine. By the way, I got 26th overall and I was pretty happy with that. I ran about 5:33 pace. I am looking forward to next week.
Today I did a nice 12-miler in the morning and almost nothing else the rest of the day. The Niners won so that was nice and The Night Train, my fantasy team, improved to 5-3.
Also, something has been driving me a little crazy. Please please please e-mail me if you know the answer to this tidbit of hip hop trivia. In 1989 Kool Moe Dee sampled a classic funk song that had been a popular breakdancing cut in the 70s and early 80s. Moe Dee used the horns for the chorus of his "Golddigger"-type cut called "They Want Money". I want that song title and I can't find it. I used to to know the name, and I think I might even have the original record, but what's it called? Damn!
On Thanksgiving morning I will be attempting a PR in the mildly sleep deprived road 10k. Lyrics Born will be performing the night before at harlow's in Sac. I can't really stand missing the show since he'll be rocking with a full funk band. Should be good. And speaking of LB, "I said goodbye-eye!"
