While it is still not "official" it is looking like abigail and I will be moving to austin, texas in september. i am really excited and a bit scared about this, scared only because i am a classic rhode islander who thinks kingston is very far away. but its time to take the challenge and live in a new place, and austin is really awesome, sunny, hot, and bike friendly.
not to mention it has the most music venues per capita of any place on earth!
not bad. right.
their midweek races are run like weekend races with category's and prizes, and happen every week march until late october.
rumor has it that they race cross down there too, but i am not at all convinced yet.
mostly the move is about abigail attending one of the best schools for acupuncture in the country which is called AOMA (academy of oriental medicine at austin). she has applied and we should here about the decision soon, i think her chances are great, she rules.
i will establish residence, work, play, and maybe study at the university of texas when i can get the cheap resident prices.
to pull off this move i need to unload some belongings.
i am holding a booksale at 111 wood street, on the stoop, sunday morning July 5th starting at 9am. I have tons of books. fiction, philosophy, poetry (ick), literary journals, text books on anatomy, biology, how to run for public office (its a pamphlet i thought was funny coffee table material), photocopied chapters of edmund hussurl texts nobody should try to read, ever, classics of existentialism, postmodernism, and ismism. (that last one is fake)
really, lots of good books cheap, come get a deal!
also i will be selling my redline singlespeed mountain bike, i want to upgrade anyway, and how many bikes can i guy move with anyway...what do i look like, adam st. germain.
also, i will be selling my guitar amp (musicman 210 75 watt) and some cool effects pedals.
if any of this sounds good to you let me know.
ok so this is a lot of info for right now, but i am overwhelmed, lots to plan.
as for bike racing here in new england, money is suddenly a big deal, so fitchburg is out.
attleboro is in, masters race at new britain as well, and the rest is up in the air.
time to go make a booksale flyer.
