Slow Sucks...

That was one of the maxims projected on the wall last night above the Nike-tracksuit wearing bartenders serving free Grey Goose and champange at Nom de Guerre, for Nike's "Vision of Speed" party featuring photography work by Steven Klein and exhibits of Nikewear about to make the international stage in Athens.  All the spandex-and-mesh suited mannequins looked anatomically correct, and I heard of at least one attempt by a guest to strip one.  I chatted with a Nike employee about the Oregon Project, was a dumping ground for servers looking to get rid of their tasty crab cakes, and (stop the presses) became heavily inebriated.

I also finally got around to slipping on a Livestrong yellow bracelet; I knew about them from cyclist buddies a while ago but never picked one up.  All in all, Nike throws a fun party.

And about the race finish I forgot to mention Monday: 
 
Long Live Armstrong.
