Hero Twins Manifesto #481: The Trip
It was in the summer of 2007 when hero twin Kate realized she was out of job come November. Them’s the breaks of seasonal mechanics’ work. So the twin decided she would tour! Bike tour, that is. And to Peru… which soon after went to all hell. At this same time hero twin Steve was returning from a two year hiatus in the land of milk and honey… very efficient and technologically advanced honey. Having caught wind that the fairer of the twins was now itching to tour cross-country they joined forces in form of Bike Tour 2007, the bi-coastal phase. The rest is just a continuation of this terrible, terrible idea. If you would like to lend a hand to the twins in form of a floor to sleep on, a hot shower, hot carl, helicopter rescue, or whatever is in your means, please contact us through the site or email us apathetickate@yahoo.com. You can also send your address to this account if you would like to receive a post card from a hero twin. We do not post personal information. But we will post dirty lies about your mom.
Hero Twin Kate’s Bio:
The younger of the hero twins, Kate is an apprenticing bicycle mechanic at the Broadway Bicycle School in Boston, MA. Originally from the East Bay of San Francisco and a graduate of the Studio Arts from Humboldt State University, she moved to the East one year ago because… well… that has never been determined. She has been homeless since late August of 2007 using fresh baked pies and high fives in lieu of rent. She may have lived on your back porch for a spell.
Her dislikes include text messaging, raspberries on her tummy, hickies, and the stickers that come on fruits and vegetables. Her likes include mustachios, Church marquees, the ‘death head’ image on old Boston tombs, generator lights, giraffapegusicorn the finger puppet, and raw, unpaterized Apple Cider Vinegar. She has been on the ACV for over a year now. She has so little left for this trip… so little…
Hero Twin Steve’s Bio:
I do what I want.
K8 ‘n Easy,
So, why’s the mighty Thunderdome laddened with so much more than the Penny-Farthing (excelent name, by the way)? Who’s the muscle in this opperation, anyway?
Just look at the two of you! All grown up! And to think I bounced you both on my knees not 5 years ago… and now both of you are riding mighty steeds across fierce lands, conquering the earth in bloody, visceral battles one-hundred miles at a time, cutting terrible swathes into our great 50!
Just the two of you, yet narry a more capable duo was here seen! Master Steed, full of ropey muscles and tendons, taught and ready with a head full of Kangi and a belly full of beer, saddled atop that swift beast Penny-Farthing. And young Kate to boot, already a poop-flinging party-smashing, howler monkey, driver of the imposing war-charger, knoble Thunderdome! Dang’it, how time, she does fly!
Boy, this is going to be tough without the warm, calming asurance of spellcheck.
See what I mean?
Good show kids, and best of times!
