move your body...

being that i have the pleasure of dispatching both boards i figure why not...anyway, this might go over the heads of many that read my silliness but some cats might recognize this cut...



what?!?! thats right...chicago house. man.o.man...i used to listen to house music like i was getting paid for it. this cut brings back memories. not of going out to clubs...too young for that, but of dancing in our living room. now, why would i post this particular cut? two words...curtis mcclain. the man was a great driver for us...he rocked whatever. he was pretty fast also but had to leave us. don't know why...just the way it is sometimes. anyway...he's in this cut. i heard him singing once at base and i gotta say...the man can sing. so a fellow co-worker did some research and found this cut...too nice.

just goes to show...all the talent that walks in and out of our doors. i've seen many talented cats...musicians, artists, actors, and so on. a good friend and ex-bike messenger anthony fleming(aka t-bone) was in the first season of prison break and is currently a theater actor...you can mainly find him at the looking glass theater.


t-bone is the cat on the right...

maybe it's a way for them to escape? maybe they put up with so much silliness as a messenger that they look for ways to express themselves? maybe they can't pick up a gig so they pick up a "for now" type of job? maybe im reading too much into all of this and messengers are just inherently talented cats? in any case, keep up the good work...peace.

harvis cooney? i think i know where you're going with that one...i rather not mention that name though.

if anyone sees t-bone tell him julio says whats up. i'll keep an eye on the beast...looks like a good show.

chuck brown?! oh-man...not sure i can compete with that raise...give me a second though.
