For the last three nights, I have gone out with bike-y people for beer and food. Once for the Shift meet-up, once for a pro-Sam Adams poster-making party, and then the end of the rally itself yesterday night (I missed it because I was still at work, booo!).
Tonight I'm going to Roller Derby with Lillian. We're sneaking in booze. And hopefully popcorn. Because we're cheap and because their vegan options are pretty much nil.
Tomorrow I really wish I could go on a group ride of SW Portland, but I don't want to be late for Katrina's awesome party that night. She's having a variation on a Burns Supper. I don't think she realizes there's such a thing as vegan haggis, so I might buy some at Food Fight! just for the entertainment value. I need to find a poem to read or a song to sing. Maybe I'll teach everyone one of my chorus songs?
Riding my bike in deepest Beaver-Tron (aka Beaverton): scary. But the bus runs rarely out there on Sunday nights. Yay for reflective stuff and bright lights.
Monday night there's square dancing to benefit the BTA (Bicycle Transportation Alliance).
Soooo....yeah. My life is busy and good right now. :^)
