Wait, what, we were the cool end? In spite of me?
Seem to remember discussion about who was in which Eisentraut building class.
Seem to remember some discussion about Mark N. being senior to Bruce G. in the Eisentraut company until he was sort-of suddenly working for Bruce, and then sort-of suddenly not working for Bruce, but that they've forgiven each other.
Seem to remember Mark saying he's gonna be out here (NorCal) every once in a while on Rivendell business, which seems KOF despite its iBobness.
Seem to remember learning that maybe Albert E. won't want to talk with me about his framebuilding career. Bummer, that. I've got a nice Eisentraut belt buckle anyway -- rides nice. :)
Seem to remember learning that you, Brian, have got the biggest I've ever heard of. Campy rings, I mean, and so bribing you with a mere 57-50 NR crankset just ain't gonna work, darn it.
Seem to remember that the waitress, who appears to be looming with satanic eyes above Bruce in one of the photos, was darned efficient given the size of the party. And that the bill was hard to cover, so that was with everyone seemed to pay twice their own tab. I'd amusingly blame someone or other, but don't know ya'all well enough yet.
Seem to remember that unnamed parties enjoyed cigars on the streets of San Jose, and that their families will never, ever know, now will they?
Seem to somehow get my Cunninghams and my Allens confused, although how that happened is beyond me. Seemed that Gorski's end of the table was doing as much laughing as we were. Seems I never got introduced to Gorski, or vicer-versee.
I blame Robert St.Cyr, sitting between me and Roland Della Santa, for me not getting to hear any of those stories Chuck S is withholding.
Seems I need to post some photos to make up for the fact that I'm over my max post limit of the day -- except it's after midnight, so I'm probably in the clear. Just noticed that the lads over at the bar didn't end up in my camera. :(
