Digging my new Roll Bicycle C:1 City Bike from Tangletown Bike Shop. I’ve got a bunch of bikes, but I wanted to get a simple city bike to ride around for fun. This perfectly fit the bill, and the folks at the bike shop were great.

I liked the contrast of the trees and organic waiting to bloom now that the snow is gone with the concrete and graffiti.

Nice Saturday morning in St. Paul: Hot Hands for delicious Chicken Pot Pie. Roots Roasting for a delightful cup of coffee. A nice walk in Hidden Falls Regional Park.

Complete Collection of 612 Series

One of my favorite NFT projects is the 612 Series by Erik Halaas of StayNftyMpls. I like that it is a local project, made by a local artist, and the landmarks are nearly all places that I have been to and have distinct memories of.

I decided that I wanted to get a complete collection of all 32 landmarks.

The rarest one of these is Al’s Breakfast, which there are only 2 of, so it is unlikely there will be any other complete collections of this series.

A big thank you to my bro-in-law Hector for nabbing me one of the first run NFTy FIGs of the Bored Ape Yacht Club. Mine is 619 of 5,000.

We took a quick trip to Grand Rapids to see Annie Jr. at the Reif Center. Our nephew was playing one of the main roles. The performance was great. They had 70 kids as orphans which made for awesome orphanage scenes. A fabulous time for all!
