Day One...pretty busy and good grubin

Day one was pretty busy, perhaps exceeding many folks anticipation for Indy. Don put out an update that over 24,000 tickets had been pre-sold for the weekend, a number that already exceeds last year in Portland. Let me tell you, the cash line to get in was loooong too.

I asked Aaron Grove to snap some shots of interesting stuff for me, this is some of what he came back with...thanks Aaron!

Goyo's blinged out bike, all built up...

James's work from Blacksheep...
Craig Calfee has been toking up again ;)...

A track bike from Vanilla, chasing the Presidents award...

A Ti/Carbon track bike...

An interesting wood bar and lever from Renova...
A circus like display of color from a Japanese company that specializes in fixies...

Day one concluded with a trip to Maxine's Chicken a Waffels, a hidden gem of Southern style comfort food just outside of downtown, here's the group shot of those who made the walk (Daryll, Aaron, Sean, Wes, Duane, not pictured me and Bill). Check out the first Flight blog for the reciprocol shot from Wes :)
Yum...smothered chicken over mashed potatoes, homemade mac and cheese and collered greens.

Wes with his chicken and waffels...

Great sweet tea served up by Danielle, our server.
Got hit the show floor, more tonight,
