Starting to feel like home.

That's more like it.

Keep that rear wheel spinning.

I put together a small panorama of the main room/kitchen.

The second image is my view of Main St. from the Balcony.

Last image is my corner bedroom.

I have the Keys now, it is officially cool to start mailing me.

Cannery Square.

My new apartment complex. My apartment is on the far

left on the third floor.

I live like 40 feet from a Quizno's.

Right on Main St.

GChat Video.

I used gChat video for the first time today. Kim gave me a tour

of the Digitas Cubicleville which included this awesome view

of 26th Street and Park Ave.

I reciprocated by giving her a tour of my Hotel room with a

small field trip out into the hall so she could see Stella.

Fair Trade.

Thanks, Trek.

You got me dinner tonight.

Cannery Square.

So, I submitted my application for this apartment in an

apartment complex called Cannery Square, which is in the

city center of Sun Prairie, just outside the city limits of

Madison. It is 12 miles from both the Trek Headquarters

and The Capitol building in Madison, so easily within

bike commute distance to both. The apartments are super

new and way bigger/nicer than anything I looked at in

downtown Madison while being considerably less money

than those apartments. I neglected to take pictures while

I was doing my visits, but rest assured, if/when I get approved

there will be pictures forthcoming.

If you cannot see from the pictures, 804 sq. ft. One Bedroom

on the 3rd (top) floor with southward facing (most sunlight)

windows and a balcony.

Also, should I get the apartment, my address will be:

351 East Main Street Apartment #312

Sun Prairie, WI 53590

So, get ready to mail me stuff.

Vans Slip-ons.

I went to a Mall today. A uniquely suburban activity. Madison's

East Town Mall is kinda small and about 40% sports memorabilia

stores but it'll have to do for the time being.

I went into Journeys and bought these Vans Slip-ons under the

encouragement of Sam the Stylist from Williamsburg. Sam

shuddered when I confessed to not owning any slip-ons.

I wore them sock-less on the way home from the Mall to wear

them in. Not terrible for riding in, if only a little flimsy.

The guys at Journeys liked my Chrome bag and we talked

about riding fixed for awhile. Cool dudes. Hopefully I see

them riding around.

BRENNAJ

I guess HOMEKEYS was taken?

Train Rust.

Madison has a plethora of abandoned train cars rented

for retail space.

I dig on it.

So hard.

Camp Randall Stadium.

It's got Cannons, but it a Big House, it is not.

Tobacco Loft's.

I went on my first round of Apartment

viewings today. As expected the Tobacco

Lofts are way out in front. The fact that

they are not available until June 1st is

kind of a headache though.

le Sigh.

Capitol Building.

I had lunch at a Quizno's by the Capitol.

The Capitol plaza is really pretty and my

favorite spot to bike around.

Welcome to Madison.

We've got rad manhole covers.

Really Brooklyn, Really?

Last NYC post for awhile. I just forgot I had this.

wake.

Seattllison.

Some of the best things are when you download the pictures

from your cameras memory card to your computer only

to find your friend from Seattle that you hardly ever see

took pictures of herself when you were not looking.

So that you can put her on the internet.

How Stella got her groove back.

Took Stella into Callahan's yesterday. Put her Summer tires

on, changed the oil and installed the new exhaust system.

Looks and sounds beautiful. Greddy Spectrum Elite.

Ready for our big day together!

Presents from Kim!

When I got home from my 10 hour

drive home from New York, I was

welcomed by an Amazon package from

Kim. She got me this book to get my

life oriented in Madison. I have read

the first section and I am excited to

get more of this book (and city)

under my belt.

It should also be noted that the book

Ben was holding "How to Cook Everything"

was also a gift from Kim.

She is really helping me get this whole

"Being an Adult" thing started.

Fiona the Fit.

ZipCar names their cars. This was Fiona

the Spark Silver Metallic Honda Fit. She

got us to PA and back safely and had room

to spare with the massive 2.8" exhaust

system tucked neatly into the back.

Road Trip.

The morning after my going away party, we got a ZipCar

(thank you again, Kim) and drove from Brooklyn to the

middle of Pennsylvania to pick up an exhaust system.

Maynard and Ben were really sleepy/hungover. The radio

was iffy at best. The car performed phenomenally and

the day was awesome as a whole.

Long Island Sound.

I woke up to a knife stabbed through my

business card in the Long Island Sound

on out huge MTA map.

To my knowledge, the knife remains in

the wall to this day.

Ryan goes into the Woods Going Away Extravaganza.

I am just going to let these pictures do the smarmy talking.

Suffice it to say, I miss Brooklyn dearly and will be going

back as soon as I get the opportunity.

Benjamin Townsend.

I am going to miss you, dude.

Broken Angel.

While Maynard and I could only submit

conjecture about the uses of this building.

It did look cool.

Recycling Car.

Somebody was using this Buick as a recycling bin.
