Interbike and probably the most important website link ever known to man.
September 30, 2006 9:22 amSeriously… For some it’s probably the best link ever. For others, not so much. More on that later….
For now though, I’ve just returned from Las Vegas and the Interbike industry trade show. This was my first trip to both and I had a great time.
Also, for the record….. Everybody wants to blabber on about “Sin City” this and “Sin City” that….. “Oh, Vegas is the craziest town in the world”……blah, blah, blah.
Well, I’ve been to Amsterdam… and little Vegas couldn’t even hold Amsterdam’s jock strap let alone be “crazier” than it….Why? Here’s one valid reason. Corey and I were solicited, almost 200 times in 24 hours, “Charlie, ecstasy Charlie”… “Charlie, cocaine Charlie” right out in the middle of the day on crowded sidewalks surrounded by other tourists wandering around taking photos of the old buildings. For some reason English speakers are called Charlie… If you’ve ever been there you know what I’m talking about. It’s bizarre to say the very least…
I wasn’t sad to leave there. 24 hours was plenty enough for an entire lifetime.
I actually saw a company at Interbike that was from Amsterdam. I thought, “Jeez, you guys gotta be bored.”
Ok now… getting a little off track… Hold on one second, I’m going to pull a U-turn. Alright we’re good. So, Interbike eh? Well, it’s probably the largest convention center ever known to man and it’s filled with all things relating to bikes. Including but not limited to: Phil Liggett, the very busy SRAM booth, the even busier SRAM booth when they handed out free beer at 5:00 pm everyday, a $12,000 Scott bike, Mario Cipollini and Eddy Merckx, $3 bottles of water, my childhood idol John Tomac, Greg Lemond, not so awesome recumbent bikes, Neil Shirley, Neil Shirley’s beyond life size poster of himself…… and this:
Busted…… trying to relive the glory days.
Seriously folks, he did this for hours as bunches of people continued to walk by. Serious.
OK, here’s your link for the day. Every Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy episode… ever.
For some people, the discovery of this link may just possibly give them a heart attack of pure joy and pleasure.
For others nothing at all.
Good bye for now.
1,300……The number of Jittery Joe’s espresso shots given away on Day 1 of Interbike.
