    As you may know, this past weekend Indianapolis, IN hosted the 5th annual NAHBS (which of course stands for National Association of Ham Butchers' Soiree). For the fifth consecutive year, I failed to attend, since I don't really feel the need to spend time and money in order to slobber all over lugs. Honestly, I'm not much of a lug-slobberer anyway, and I don't really understand why people get so excited about them. Lug-slobberers are the same kinds of people who get excited about things like wine and furniture design and who spend $200 on architecture books.

    I'll mull that over later this evening while drinking a bottle of the '53 Margaux and wearing my Rapha cravat.

    I was gonna go but the flights to Indiananananpolis jumped in price by the time I got a credit card. I wasnt going there to slobber over the bikes... well, OK, maybe just a small bit - but there were some really good workshops/seminars happening on frame building, spraypainting, etc. The cost of this was $150 but it would have been worth it. I was sorry to have missed it but the flight prices were unrealistic.
