Solstice

2011-06-16T18:31:00.000-07:00

So Anna + Swift + I (+ maybe Russ + Cate) are going to ride from G-town to the Solstice Parade. Then we will get half buzzed on beer and ride home. Who's in?

Thanks Nate! I found your post when I was going to post this...

Been a long time...

2011-02-01T12:42:00.001-08:00

So I was gone for a couple months doing numerous things, namely trying to look like Joaquin Phoenix. What, you don't believe me? Muck you the proof is in the pudding:

Now that I no longer look like a character from a Rodney Pond fantasy, I'm back in Seattle and ready to ride bikes and snowboards and watch you drink beer while I eat vegetarian sandwiches. If you like the aforementioned things, then I suggest you holler at your boy and we, as they say, make things happen.

Con besitos y un abrazo,

Nate

Thats right Blaise. I'm stalking your family on Facebook.

Train ride.

2010-11-11T09:37:00.000-08:00

So I think we meet at GWP at 5:00 (its on the old railroad grade that is the BGT). Then we ride to the king street station (Its a train station). Then to the Orient Express (Its a train) where we can hang out and prep for the party. I have spoke cards for most.

(Sounds like we need to stock up on Four Loco too)

F*cking Blackouts, How Do They Work??

2010-11-10T17:14:00.000-08:00

Oh noooes!

Washington State is banning caffeinated booze, the beloved 'blackout in a can'!

Following in Michigan's footsteps? Tyranny is sweeping the nation if you ask me.

We're just going to have to find another way to black out. Booze comes separately.

2010-11-08T21:26:00.000-08:00

Who: BunnYHawkS
What: Party in a train

Party Planning Comittee

2010-10-20T07:13:00.001-07:00

In all honesty I have been going back and forth about how to handle the planning for the upcomming second aniversary party. I suppose It was kinda snowballing in to a personal crisis because I had become so accustomed to opperating in a sort of self made isolation brought on by several factors that include, being a new father and feeling removed from my social network, being a business owner and trying to tackle a big project all summer for a VERY important client and being largely resbonsible for the creation of a new work group within the Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Department. Basicaly, I was task saturated and wondering how I was going to pull off planning the "Biggest Party Ever". Then I remembered my favorite olde tyme expression "WehelpeachotheR" and BOOM! a weight was lifted. "I don't plan this stuff alone, we have committees for that!" I said. "Committees with lots of experience planning all sorts of things". We have engineers, programers, artists, mechanics, fasion industry professionals, teachers, resource managers and Arun! There is LITTERALY nothing we can't plan.

So... Eat a good dinner and come over to the Howell's to help plan The Biggest Party Ever. Thursday October 21st at 7:00.

Lucky 16

2010-10-12T20:42:00.000-07:00

So, basically, I love Dominic and his IDEA to ride on Saturday. Are you with me? I have consulted the oracles and it looks like the gods will only favor a delay if we go to THIS SHOW

No Idea if FB links work for on blogger but hit me up if you fail to understand.

P.S. Have been commuting by bike again. It is ON!
P.P.S. 10 Budweisers!

October already?!?!?

2010-10-02T21:09:00.000-07:00

Halloween is aproaching quickly. If there are no good parties going down, is anyone interested in getting a team together for the Messquerade? I've never been, but hear good things. Just a thought. Also a good reason for group theme costumes!

This Friday! Art! Beer! Bunnyhawks!

2010-09-30T14:20:00.000-07:00

I know a bunch of you kids are going camping, but for those of us in the city this was waaaaaaaaay fun last year and should be pretty good this year. Did I mention they have free beer?

Friday the (Lucky) 13th...

2010-08-11T14:03:00.000-07:00

So, it's that time again. Time to ride forth and drink deeply from the tall cans of the ides of mid-month.

I personally think we should meet at Volunteer Park at 6pm and ride to get sixers of tall cans on the Hill before heading to the shores of Madison Beach. From there, we can head up to the U-district to get Pho-cked up while waiting for any of our friends who get off work at Recycled Cycles. After that, we can drink in Ravenna Park, or maybe Greenlake or Fremont or eat Red Mill burgers, and then we part ways. Who's in?

We may be able to defer this to a lucky 14 if y'all prefer a Saturday excursion with swimming and drinking. Text/email me to RSVP 4402236886 or nwhs@uw.edu so I know what we should plan for.

BunnyhaWK - In Berlin with Nate

2010-08-09T13:32:00.001-07:00

I think we did it right, bunnyHawk style by helping each other. Nate needed a place to stay and a bike, done deal. He got not only a bike, but "The Hercules!" We rode around the first day doing errands and meeting up with a few friends. The second day was some more mayhem with rain and a sliding accident. Currently typing with one hand. Some friends opened this cool shop called Sing Black Bird. Nate was kind enough to help hang their outside signage. He also helped me out a lot with my gimpy hand. The next day was filled up with a trip to tempelhof airport and the opening party for Sing Black Bird. We worked the bar and were a team of awesomeness. I'm pretty sure we impressed the nice folks of Berlin and then some. We know how to party. Gin took care of the pain I had this evening. The last day we had vegan brunch with some rad kids that Nate knows, then did an installation in Mitte for ATM Gallery. The whole weekend was filled with one liners, jokes, booze/soda, and bikes. Of course a special song was in our hearts...

German alley-oop:

Bunnyhawk 1: "wo ist die liebe maschine?"

BunnHAWk 2: "ich bin die liebe maschine!"

As always, all bunnyhawks are welcome to my home here in Berlin.

Report From Berlin

2010-06-25T15:17:00.000-07:00

Hot damn kiddies - miss my BunNyHaWks in Seattle. However, we have population one in Berlin so that has some sort of bragging rights... right?

Berlin is a crazy fun city to ride your bike in. There are many bike lanes, most are on sidewalks and made of bricks or cobblestone which makes it fun. There are no hills here, but it gets windy as all get out. Oh, and most policemen here hate bikes and love giving out tickets. They have a laundry list to pick from when doing so. Tempelhof Airport just re-opened to the public so you can ride your bike on the landing strip with some old school roller-skaters. And taking a fun 30 min ride out of Berlin takes you to some pretty amazing forest areas with swimming.

Once I meet some more kids to ride with here I will take more pictures, in the mean time gaze on this:

Anyone know this guy? I hear we're not invited to this bachelor party. Actually it was the most fun I have had in a while. Highlights:

1) Sneaking a baby in to a bar
2) Winnebago with sink tap.
3) Unicorn Jizz
4) Disappearing for a few hours to sober the F up only to return to Stace calling someone a "fat bitch" to their face.
5) Dominic giving said girl the plunger.
6) Da Popodot.

Nice work B!

Going the distance

2010-05-28T12:22:00.000-07:00

Sounds like we will be going to Portland in August. Which means preparing now for long hours on a bike. Just like the Mercer Island Water Polo team (state champs) is gearing up for long hours in the pool.

So... The 13th is on a Sunday and Nate brought it to my attention that this would be a great opportunity to shake the cob-webs off the distance riding legs and perhaps start shifting gears from riding "near with beer" to "far with bars".

Anyway, I seconded his motion to ride east, do a bit of distance (not too much) by doing a clockwise circumnavigation of the island of my employ and finish with a toast at the Roanoke before heading back to a Seattle ZIP code for more toasting as success is guaranteed.

Seattle To Portland For Free - August 6-8

2010-05-26T08:20:00.000-07:00

Ok bunnies and hawks. The deal is this: Last year Brandon, Monica, Joe and I rode the STP4FREE. It was pretty awesome. This year, a certain bunnyhawk will be getting married on the weekend of the actual ride, thus prohibiting other bunnies and hawks from wanting to ride this year.

The solution? We ride on the first weekend in August. This will accomplish the following:
1. Delay the ride for the sanctity of marriage
2. Let us ride AFTER the event so we can use the road markings
3. Let us ride with fewer D-bags on the road
4. Act as one giant Birthday party for Brandon
5. Get a cheap, non-sold-out hotel room so we don't have to worry about a tent
6. Allow everyone to ride for free and not feel guilty for pirating the ride
7. Lessen the number of times you hear "on your left" - yeah, no shit...
8. Place the ride in American Adventures Month, World Breastfeeding Week, and Single Working Women's Week
9. Shorten the wait time at the Olympic Inn in Centralia at the half way point
10. Be fun for all

So join me and some other people in Riding From Seattle to Portland (in two days) For Free.

Lucky 13

2010-05-14T15:02:00.000-07:00

We got a few people together to ride a very short distance.(might be the shortest BH ride yet). Got sukered in to the BIG beers at the Triange and proceded to learn a new lesson:

Talking about money during an economic downturn hurts peoples feelings.

-People who have some will feel guilty.
-People who have none will feel sad.
-People with an unrealized earning potential will feel confused about what their next stage of life should look like.

Its fine if we are talking, "Hey pony up for another round." but I motion to keep impassioned discussions about M-N-Y out of the BH repertoire.* I sincerely apologise for my part in the first ever bummer ride.

*at least until the unemployment rate improves or its the eighties again, when talking about m-n-y was as cool as JaMESSpader

* a week late out of respect for other peoples gods

yes.

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

2010-05-04T21:53:00.000-07:00

Okay. So this is a week late, but let's still ride for the Pagan celebration of Bealtain. I know it's been a while, so this will be a mellow one (but doesn't have to stay that way.) Start at noon at the sculpture garden beach. Proceed to the boxcar. Cross the locks to the tin hat. Over to the little red hen. Down to the zoo on eastlake. This is a democratic club, so substitutions will be welcome!

When: Saturday May 8th

Where: Olympic Sculpture Park beach (you know what I mean)

Who: ALL Bunnyhawks plus anyone else who knows how to rock

Why: If you have to ask, then you can go to hell!

Two Things

2010-04-30T09:05:00.000-07:00

First. My folks will be in from out of town and I would like to get my dad (and maybe my mom) out for a ride so we can add them as official members of the club instead of just honorary BhawkS.
So I propose this: We ride some time either Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday late morning/afternoon. I mean I'm just dying to see my dad take down a roadmaster while cruising the Eliot Bay bike trail. Aren't you?

Second. We CANNOT miss next months lucky 13. I don't know what happened this month but we really dropped the ball. I'm surprised my baby was born normal. I was sure the fates were going to have their way with me. (Actually they did erase a comment I made on Greg's post from yesterday...so I didn't exactly escape unscathed.)

Third. This weekend is the Derby Party. Same place as last year. I have a baby so won't be staying long, BUT, you all can get as drunk as you want and cross dress to your hearts content. See the post from last May around this time for photo evidence of Kentucky style debauchery.
Bourbon,Sugar,Mint,Ice,PureMotherF-ingSilver!

2010-04-28T09:52:00.000-07:00

Hello fellow bike lovers and others. Since the traumatic move to montucky, I've felt the void of not having a bike gang(club) to call my own here, and Bunnyhawks MT chapter just feels cheap. So, some Bozeman kids and I are starting our own gun-totin' chaw-chewin cowboy-uppin bike thingy. However, since these Montana kids are treading into unfamiliar waters with the whole riding bikes for fun thing, I need some assistance in naming this monster. And, who better than a bunch of people who know little or nothing about Montana to help? So I'm calling for suggestions. Meth City Marauders was mine, but I don't want our drug secret to be quite so public. Anyway, give me some ideas to bring to the group so I seem smart and leader-like. Hugs and Kisses, and help old Bunnyhawk himself remember that offspring is not a free pass to stop doing fun stuff. You still have to.

Things and stuff.

2010-04-25T21:06:00.000-07:00

Lets get one thing straight.

2010-04-24T09:07:00.000-07:00

We are still a bike club. We just have more space between rides than we used to. (I know you might be feeling like this is the end, and one day it will be, but this is not it.)

Rest assured the BunnYHawkS are real. Let's ride soon.

OK... Time to talk about some things.

2010-04-23T10:22:00.000-07:00

So, as most of you know, Anna and I just had a little boy named Swift. I am not going to machine gun the universe with pictures of my progeny and I really don't think of this blog as family friendly but since lately "The Boy" has been occupying a lot of my riding time I just thought I would post a picture of myself and him soon aftr he was born. I will say this; Having a baby is amazing! So far it has been the greatest thing I have ever done to combat the default cinisism of our times. (starting a bike club might be the next best thing). I am litterally filled with love and hope. Love for the world, love for my friends, love for my family and hope for the future of just about everything. I'm great, Anna is beautiful and I can't wait for you all to meet Swift.

OOPS! wrong picture. I think this is a KFC Double Down.

That's better

Come back and ride sometime.

Blaise and I did this thing.

2010-04-10T18:46:00.000-07:00

Yeah, so we spent a day fixing bikes for a good cause. We buffed a bunch of roaches for EarthCorps. It was mostly fun but kinda gross. The best part was watching Blaise use a gun as a cheater bar to bust open a bottom bracket.

Goddamn it I miss you guys.

2010-04-09T17:22:00.000-07:00

That's all. Bikes are a little less fun without Bunnyhawks. Yeah, yeah, we're all together in spirit, but you and I both know that's bullshit. Just had to get that off my chest.

i hate america.

2010-04-07T16:32:00.000-07:00

So I have been super busy at work. Anna is having a baby. I have not been riding a bicycle. I have not been blogging about riding a bicycle...

and neither have you.

Uhh... It is Easter on Sunday

2010-04-02T14:46:00.000-07:00

2010-03-11T23:22:00.000-08:00

I am never the first to volunteer for charity work. However, if it means working on bikes with my friends, then bring it on! I hope everyone can make it saturday for a good cause. It'll be a hoot! Music, bikes, friends and (hopefully) booze! What else could a self respecting Bunnyhawk need?

We were improvising. We went from G-tac to Seatac. Because we could.
It was a nice Saturday riding and riding.

New Trawler

2010-02-27T17:53:00.001-08:00

This is my new bike trawler. It cost 20 bucks on craigslist. I
stripped it of all it's day-glow fabric and bolted on a plywood deck
courtesy of my neighbor John.

This is it on it's inaugural service deployment to get dog food.
(notice the lock)

Thinking about buying one of these:

Is that dumb? Anyone been on one of these?

Math is Hard II

So.... a while back Dominic mentioned that perhaps the BunnYHawkS should engage in some charitable activities. Well, an opportunity has presented itself.

I was recently contacted by EarthCorps a local notforprofit that brings people from all over the world to participate in a training program focused on ecological restoration. They need some help and we are just the sort of people that could help them out.

They have a fleet of bikes that they receive as donations to lend out to their international corps members so the newly arrived aren't entirely dependant on public transportation. When I worked there those bikes saw a lot of use and little maintenance. One of the program managers remembered that I was in to bikes and asked if I would help them get their bikes in to some sort of decent shape before their new internationals arrive

Blaise and I spoke about the possibility of doing a day of service at RC to get their fleet buffed out. Looks like shop space has been donated and now its just a matter of getting enough people together to clean, lube, fix flats and repair the approximately 20 bikes.

Would you all be willing to pitch in and donate a day of music and beer drinking to the cause of international sustainable mobility awareness and get those bikes rolling?!!??

How about Saturday March 13th? Sounds too good to be true.

Stolen Bike!

2010-02-09T09:16:00.000-08:00

Yo babes and dudes,

My good friend Trevor Walter had his bike redistributed last night from the UW campus in Seattle. The suspect is unknown, but I surmise the 6 or 7 year-old Kryptonite lock helped whomever it was out.

If you see a purple/maroon 54cm Miyata running through your shop or on the craigslist, get at Trevor directly: ecologue@gmail.com

Trevor's a young father on a shoestring budget, and this ride was his primary transportation. If anybody has a loaner 52 or 54 that I can buy off of you for my friend (5'7"), or a even just a loaner for the next month or so, please let me know: natehoughsnee@gmail.com

Just found this on my phone. Is it a motorcycle if I pedal real fast???

Klaus Kinski

2010-01-23T11:39:00.000-08:00

If you have a hangover today you should watch anything by Werner Herzog and his demon powered leading man Klaus Kinski. These movies are some of the best ever made. I spent four years studying acting in a drama conservatory. I know high art when I see it. Kinski is the best actor I have ever seen. I have been fascinated by his work since I was a teenager. I am just beginning to understand his brilliance.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God is available on Netflix watch instantly. I'll be downstairs until about five if anyone needs me. You gotta love a Strong Island Iced Tea!

last night was ROCKIN'

Had fun, bikes n' bikes. rock out with your cock out, as shown below:

What I sent to my co-workers

2010-01-22T11:43:00.000-08:00

Team,

I am pleased to announce that I am back on a bicycle. With a little help from a friend and 80 dollars, I was able to put ‘big blue’ together last night. He has one less brake, no handlebar tape, weighs a few more pounds, goes down hills fast, accelerates slow, 17-48t gear ratio, is 3cm taller, and definitely leads the way. All in all, I would say that he is 16% more dangerous.

Added note: I didn’t notice until I got home that the chain I bought is gold, so there is some added ‘bling’ to give big blue some street credit.

The Blue Angel Rides Again

2010-01-22T09:54:00.000-08:00

Dominic came over on Wednesday. He grabbed Brandons old frame and a
bunch of parts out of my roach bin and "Bam" the next day he had given
the BunnYHawkS a new bike child.

I realy do apreciate the asthetic of a cruely stripped down street
bike. It's kinda like seeing a pair of women's underwear in the street
or watching a fist fight. All three are beautiful because they are
part mystery and part horror.

If I had my way I would change the name of the bike to "Fist Fight".
I'm pretty sure that is what it's going to feel like to ride it.

What? Where? When?

Each correct answer gets you a domestic can.

Apple Pie = Happy Birthday

2010-01-19T19:40:00.000-08:00

I have to admit that I'm still secretly in love with the Carl Sagan remix Blaise posted last fall. It was truly a gift, so with his birthday being yesterday, I'd like to give him a gift. The gift of giving people an opportunity to make him a Happy Birthday Apple Pie!! (from scratch of course)

Boom, posted!

Its Blaise's birthday today. You should meet him at Kings and buy him a beer.

If that isn't possible because you work in the morning, are sick or otherwise unable to attend the festivities, fear not you will have the opportunity to express your feelings of friendship, kinship and love this Friday.

We will meet Blaise at his house in the morning for mimosas and then roll down to Voula's Offshore Cafe for Eggs Benedict. Then we will ride some more. We will ride throughout the day and then meet the working stiffs at GWP at 6:30pm for a merry-go-round of favorite haunts.

The night will end with another champagne toast in view of a large and historically significant body of water beneath the light of the moon somewhere in Ballard. (Is there anything in Crown Hill that fits that description?)

See you there sukkas!

2010-01-17T00:53:00.000-08:00

So. It's my birthday monday. I invite you to join me at King's in Ballard for drinks. I will be there at eight, and hope to see you then, or later. As usual, it will go late into the night.

Thank You For Being a Friend

2010-01-13T23:49:00.001-08:00

I had a great time tonight. Riding with friends through rain, wind, and bizarre lake-sized-potholes in Georgetown. Happy birthday Dominic. Happy bike riding everyone else.
