Hi,
Just wanted to share some cool news. Whitetrax (the unicycling-on-snow filmshort on One Tired Guy) won one of the two “Special Jury Awards” over the weekend at the Banff Mountain Film Festival. This means that it will be included on the 2003 Banff Film Festival World Tour.
Cheers,
Kris.

PS Kris, perhaps you should change the “custom user text” thingy (under your username) to something other than ‘unicycling newbie’, just a suggestion.😃

I unicycled to the State Fair just a few blocks from work. All the
suits and skirts mosey down out of the office buildings for lunch to
get some of that wholesome fair fare. As I passed a couple of skirts,
one says to the other, ‘Dork.’ The other cut sultry eyes in my
direction and said, ‘Ya? I gotta get me some Dork, then.’

I just noticed that- thanks! A while back someone broke into my [unicyclist.com](http://unicyclist.com) profile and quoted on the newsgroup using my profile. Probably they changed that as well.

No one broke into your account to post that fake message that looked like it was from you. The message was posted using the newsgroup. All they did was change the user name in their news reader to match your name. They didn’t break into your account to do it.

You’ll have to do a Clockwork Orange to avoid missing it when you see One Tired…
How many seconds is Whitetrax?

It’s 90 seconds long! Believe it or not, shorter is better for the Banff Festival tour. They’ve got 2.5 hours for films at each tour stop and they always want to show as many as possible- hence short films always are more frequently screened.
