I had a NordicTrack ad in the 1996 pass as well. When we last checked in with them, I remarked about how minimalistic they seemed. This ad gives you a closer look at one, and I am reminded of how, on the few occasions that I actually tried to use one, impossible it was to actually get on the things.
And on the NordicTrack, Bill Koch! At first, I was delighted to think that it might be this Bill Koch, but no. It's this Bill Koch. Anyway, I remember those exercise outfits. I think we all believed that they looked good on us. Ha ha, egg on our face, right Bill?
Here's the website. On June 15-18 they are having a Herman Hesse convention. The reason I'm not going is that I don't speak German.
A Herman Hesse convention?! That's awesome! Will they be reenacting key scenes from The Magic Mountain?
ReplyDeleteJust realized what an ass I've made of myself - The Magic Mountain is Thomas Mann's masterpiece, not Hesse's. Oopsie. But the Hesse convention still sounds fun! Especially the Hugo Ball bit.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they're doing Thomas Mann as well, so it's all good.
