🚨 #MCAtlanta Travel PSA 🚨

Take the MARTA from the airport for $2.50 and don’t waste money on a $60 Uber; take the gold line towards Doraville 9 stops to Civic Center and that will get you most of the way there. Runs pretty often.

See everyone at MagicCon!

After 16 years as a fixed gear weirdo, I finally got onto the track and came 2nd out of 2 in Cat 5 in all four races.

That deck got me my first non-local tournament prize in one of those TCGPlayer GP Sunday things where you get zombie tokens for invi points

Ale made using a 1615 recipe. The English used to drink a thing called "small ale" a lot, which was a low ABV hop-less beer. Guy who wrote it says most people got more calories from ale than bread. I was interested in what it was like so I made a strong, middle, and small ale from the same mash.

In standard Valakut in the rules lawyer days I had people claim that I animated the wrong identical basic and don't get to attack with it

It's nice to have something quick to play other than to just improve your infinite rank, though

I feel like this game mode exaggerates the difficulty of playing up in collection level. I have few Series 4/5 cards and that feels like a big deal in this mode where fewer cards are good.

Early in covid, I made an outfit copying a Moroni painting. The doublet there is a mockup which I later replaced, but I still haven't finished the new version of the pants. It reminded me of when I used to make anime cosplay but in these I work hard to use authentic materials, tools, and techniques.

Before and after the Warriors (like the movie) ride this summer. It's basically a scavenger hunt on bikes that starts in the Bronx at sunset and ends in Coney Island at sunrise. It ended up being 45-60 miles and despite a crash and a strategic blunder that cost us top 8 it was really fun.

Every year, people organize events called "Tuba Christmas" where you play Christmas music with dozens of other tubas. This year I played one conducted by my middle school director and I brought a pencil and valve oil and tried to be much more attentive in rehearsal than I ever was in school. Old pic

I've been going to more shows lately. Coming up I'm looking forward to Sister Wife Sex Strike with Doom Scroll at Ottobar.

These are some 'hose' or 'netherstocks' I knit in imitation of the English techniques in the mid-late 16th century. Before these, people like Henry VIII wore bias-cut socks made of woven fabric. The color change reflects the technique of the re-knitting of feet sections used to repair aging socks

This doublet is an imitation of an original from Alpirsbach Germany. It is a rare surviving example of a linen doublet, originally made for a student at the monastery. With it was found the only known surviving example of a type of pants that was common for a while in Europe.

I made this jerkin as an imitation of an original in the Museum of London. Jerkins were a common layer worn over the doublet in much of 16th century Europe.

This is my track bike. I'm not nearly fast enough to deserve it, but I got a deal on the frame and crank so I'm that guy in cat 5 with the nice bike.

This is a fancy bike I put together. It's based on a frame and parts that comply with the special requirements for keirin racing, a legal gambling sport in Japan.

I like bikes. I've always kept a few since I worked in shops, but I've accumulated a few track bikes over the last few years which I've been riding for fun and occasionally racing.
