Kit Project: Quick Update

The kits are in Italy! Yes, that's right, the kit order is now at the factory in Italy. There was a bit of a lag last week, while we counted and double-checked the order. Counting is hard. But I did receive word from Capo that the production process is under way. More updates soon!

If Drew pays my expenses and a small fee

I could be convinced to go to Italy to supervise the production-process

I would pay Capo a large fee

to lock you in the warehouse for the summer.

Now Drew

I think Jens has an excellent idea here. Jens, go for it. Please make your own arrangements and be sure you stay someplace really, really nice and dine at only the finest establishments. And while you’re over there, why not pick up a few nice new suits and some shoes? Maybe a Ferrari? Just keep all your receipts and send us a bill.

I can see M's introduction of the supervillain

“Our sources tell us he’s man of californian descent. Photos from an embassy function in Minsk indicate he has an abnormal growth protruding from his back. Rumors circling among Honduran guerillas mention that it is actually a small asian woman he is carrying some sort of backpack but those rumors are yet to be confimed.”

at least she's house trained

I've seen this before

This is the first post of many. We will learn that counting is indeed very tricky, that the postal service in Uzbekistan is not that good and, 10 months later, that the colour black is easily confused with the colour chartreuse.

cool, chartreuse! Now that’s a color for a cycling kit

yeah I might have ordered one if it was in chartreuse, maybe next year

I'm feverished, or the way you want to spell it

good news!

yikes is it Italian sizing? ….. I probably needed an XXXXXL and not an XL (Italians often mock me for not enjoying tighter clothing)

is my kit flying from Italy to Seattle and back accros the pond? or directly from Factory?

Before reaching Willj

It will stop over one day in Paris, one day in London, one day in Barcelona one day in Rome , one day in Copenhagen and one day in Prague. It’s your typical american itinerary.
