Last year, I wrote about the allure of Rouleur after finally returning to the show after years away, and I'm anticipating an even more exuberant and internationally attended event this year. My train arrives Thursday morning & I head back Saturday just in time for the Lowlands Fixed-Gear 2 Year at our office.
This year at Rouleur, Twotone will attend with Josh Weinberg from SILCA, featuring products on MOOTS, SAFI, 3T, WEIS & Barco builds. Nico Bonnano will be travelling to the show with a Post Carry Co. Loomer. Drop me a note to make sure we catch up on Thursday evening or Friday afternoon at the show.
I'll have my bike with me and plan to join an AM ride on Friday. Right now the WEIS ride is my most likely option. But lemme know what else is going on!
Friday night, John Wedlake of Albion & I will be heading to the Home Front & Angel Du$t show in Hackney. These are two of my favourite bands, so I'm very hyped! If you're tempted to stage-dive instead of schmooze on the 13th, there were still tickets when I wrote this!
As always, thank you for reading & wishing you a nice week ahead,
Jon

Now Entering: The Era Of Bleh

"Across knowledge work companies, employees increasingly rely on armies, or swarms, of agents to execute their work, and they aren’t just helping humans execute administrative tasks: they’re writing code, developing marketing strategy, designing products, advising on client escalations, executing financial analysis, providing legal advice and coaching, and defining brand identities." 😵💫 A sobering read.
