Butler 4

Remember how I told you that I was on that new pass-a-long card? Have you ever wondered what it would look like hanging in Times Square

The Salt Lake Tribune did and they wrote a story about it. Click here for the link.

A while ago it was announced on this blog that I was working on something big. Also announced was that you all would know just how big. It's so big that I had to sneak it on to Governor's Island, located in New York Harbor, and when the park rangers were not looking... I ran it up a vacant flag pole.

Now you say... that's a big Union Jack... but just take a look at the scale when I stand next to it.
It's big right? 5ft x 10ft of United Kingdom glory. Commission for the flag came from a prop stylist for a Vogue Bambini editorial. The theme was inspired by a The Who album cover. The magazine featuring the flag will be published later this summer. When it is–you will know. Assuming that you keep current with the latest 4butler.blogspot.com posts.
This is the Union Jack. The flag of the United Kingdom. Scale of the flag is 1:2. As stated before this particular flag is 5ftX10ft. This version of the Union Jack has been the official flag of the United Kingdom since 1801. It is the amalgamation of three other flags. St. George's Cross is the white background with the red cross located in the center; St. Andrew's Cross is the blue background with the white cross from corner to corner; St. Patrick's Cross is the white background with the red cross from corner to corner. England, Scotland, and Ireland make up the Union Jack.

Ask me the best thing that happened in 2010 – my answer would be this bicycle.

Made from vintage parts scoured for on ebay and other sources, my big brother constructed and sent to Brooklyn this amazing bike. Single speed, single brake, ram handle bars, with a suede seat, it is a joy to ride around NYC. Often serious bikers on the street will take a double look summing it up. The Klein frame is a road bike but has been converted into a single speed. Stripped of all inessential components it is extremely light. On the street I am more likely to pass then to be passed. Travel time from my Brooklyn residence to Central Park is around 45 minutes. Only downside to the bike is getting less value for my monthly subway pass.

Sheep's Meadow in Central Park was the scene of a delightful afternoon picnic/gathering. Carol, Suvi, & Ben were all in attendance.

... Later on Brigham showed up.
