Kenneth Burns follows JC deliveries

Just Coffee tricycle delivery person Mark T. Spark was followed on bicycle Tuesday by Isthmus journalist Ken Burns. Mr. Burns met up with Mr. Spark at Just Coffee's facility on East Wilson Street. The trike was loaded and ready to roll. As the two rode down the bike path they engaged in easy chit chat covering topics ranging from politics, living in Chicago, cycling, and of course sports. Mr. Burns and Mr. Spark both lived in Chicago for some time, and shared some thoughts on that city. Mr. Burns moved to Madison for grad school, and ended up staying after meeting a special someone.

Deep Fair Trade Basketball Tour

My brother Jim (aka Juice or Baby Hook on the court) and I are both from Lexington, Kentucky. Being from Kentucky, we are basketball addicts. Even though we both grew up railing against the mainstream and taking pride in being freaks, we still could not avoid the hoops. Many a Saturday was spent counting backwards from 10 and throwing up last second circus shots to win imaginary crowns. And the crowd goes wild...

In KY basketball is a religion. No...seriously, it is a bona fide religion. And if it came down to Sunday service or the 'Cats vs. the Cards (or Carolina, or Florida, or Indiana, or K-State Tech A&M, or whoever), you can bet that the churches would be empty. Sorry God, but unless Jesus is a 6'8" power forward wearing a blue jersey and dropping 3s from NBA range, he must wait.

After letting up only two goals all tournament, Team JC (Just Coffee/Jonny Cycles/Jesus Christ/John Cougar (Mellancamp)) held on to their Midwest champion status at the bi-annual Midwest Bike-Polo Champeenships, held May 5th in Chicago. Team JC faced a bigger, faster, and generally much more handsome team from Milwaukee in the finals, but proved unstoppable, winning 3-0, 3-0.
