Do you belong, like me, to those people that cycle everywhere? Even in negative degrees? That moist their face with industrial strength grease so the head wind doesn’t burst the skin?

It was my first time performing at a nice, fancy business hall. And not like usually, inside a dingy back room in between passed out drunks. … Read more
