  1. True. I always shake my head in disapproval when I see parents buying their kids the cheapest bicycle they can find at Wal-Mart. Even worse for when its an adult buying one of for themselves. Death wish.

  2. If you like old bike photos, I highly recommended the Schwinn Bicycle books.

    Its amazing how bicycles haven't changed very much over a 100 years. Its like they got the design on point the first time.

  3. I have:

    - Partied and painted with a lot of people on or used to be on this site. Some I met here, some I met through mutual friends, and some don’t even know I am on this board

    - Been everyone’s favorite partner in crime thanks to my unsuspecting looks and friendly demeanor

    - Been skiing in the Andes mountains and almost flew off the edge of the cliff

    - Been approached by creepy Dov Charney at an American Apparel warehouse sale for my phone number and photos and turned him down

    - Seen a bicyclist’s dead body laying on street seconds after he was hit by a drunk driver

    -Had gangsters pull guns on me and my friends

    - Seen an obese black thug galloping a horse like a real equestrian in the middle of the hood

     

    Have not:

    - Smoked cigarettes

    - Gone to prom, homecoming, or any of those high school extracurricular activities

    - Watched any Pixar movies. Not a single one

    By the way, is there some rule that only mexicans ride the bus in LA?

     

    The funny thing is if you live in a more centralized area of LA where it is more expensive and public transportation is easily accessible, you most likely own a car. Most people that depend on the bus don’t live in new downtown lofts or own a house in Hollywood Hills. They live far from that.

     

    While minorities are riding the shitty bus to work, the more affluent side is living it up and driving BMWs to work. Some of the yuppiest places in Los Angeles and Orange County have Spanish names (Aliso Viejo, Rancho Palos Verdes, etc). While a lot of not so affluent neighborhoods have non-threatening English names (remember that Hawaiian Gardens gangster story?)

     

    I don’t really know too many people that grew up in Los Angeles that don’t drive. A lot of those Silverlake and Echo Park hipsters that migrated here from the Midwest ride bikes or use public transportation. It makes sense since they are conveniently located between downtown and Hollywood.

     

    Nobody wants to hang out with someone that doesn’t drive, or else you’ll always be their designated driver! Good friends let friends be the sloppy drunk once in a while.

  5. Come to Mindshare tonight... open bar, free food, badass interactive art, and rad guest speakers (including topless women speaking about toplessness).

    It's expensive though ($40), and I already filled my guest spots, but if you're down for something enlightening, its hard to beat. The venue is downtown.

     

    Wait wait wait.... El Mamerro you are in Los Angeles?

     

    Dude, you have to hit me up.

     

    Guess who...

  6. It's not just 8 years. It's THREE 8 year prison terms. That's ridiculous. Looks like he just started writing.

     

    What a waste of time and money for everybody in that county. Don't they have something better to do? Like arrest some redneck serial rapist?

  7. I believe a more accurate description of SF hipsters would include:

     

    1. Beards

    2. Bad hygiene

    3. Simple brand eco-friendly shoes

    4. Shopping at the Salvation Army and calling it "vintage"

    5. Chain smoking vegan

     

    They earn extra hipster points if they moved to New York cause SF is so 2008
