Some how he managed to get a direct flight from SFO. A sign of the economic progress of Butte? Or perhaps I just need to fly more often.

Evel Days starts Thursday. Wha hoo! Since the world revolves around me I'd like to point out that mikeablexray ranks number 7 on a Google search for "Evel Days". Too bad it's called Knievel Week. Its an SEO thing. I write Evel Days (because it sounds cooler) so my site is optimized for it. Bah! Who cares? I'm boring myself.
I've been floating. A lot. I'd never heard of this "floating" prior to my escape from California. It's kinda like rafting. Except with more beer; no ninny river guide; lax safety vest regulations (have them on the boat somewhere); no rules visa-vi gross consumption. Damn good fly-fishing. Oh, and often its done without the raft. Just grab an inner tube, put your butt through the O and go.

Evel Days was way super cool. Three days of drinking and music in the streets, women-folk, stunt shows, noise, and we saw a fireman accidentally set himself on fire. How can you not like that?

Evel Days was a bitchen', three-day, free, street-party. A lot of the events occurred in front of our building so Robert was able to get some fantastic images and movies. Here is one of the "Team Xtreem" freestyle streetbike guys.
The SCS Motocross Freestyle Group was probably the coolest bit.

A "Dead Body"

A "Cliff Hanger"
Guy Riding a Bike on a High Wire.
