Just got home from Winter BFF, thanks so much to Bike Winter for organizing another year of quality cycling shorts and films... and for bringing bike community together!  It seemed like more people came through today than even the NYE Mass!  Wish I coulda stayed longer...

Am I missing something?  I RSVP'ed at least a month ago, where would I be able to see the schedule?

Someone asked about bringing bikes inside-- I think there's a ladder we can pull out of the back room and use to lock bikes to indoors if people so desire. Just poke your head in and see what the situation is.

I got a message from George that the concessions may not be open due to no regular feature running-- there's a Walgreen's across the street and several food options (Subway, Mr. Submarine) very close-by if needed.

MamaMoo-- thanks much!

Will definitely think of the children next year :-)

About 2/3 of those on this year's slate would either bore or scare most kids . . .

Hi Ash! We'd be glad to see you guys too! Maybe we will swing by for the shorts. I was too shy to make a suggestion for the fest! Maybe next year! J.

Jennifer, we're bringing our kiddo tomorrow for the shorts at 1:45 and then coming back for the SCAB film at 6:45. I'd love to see you guys there but am just as apprehensive about doing a full slate of feature length films with no kid stuff payoff.

Hi-early afternoon is good for our kids. A movie from the children's film fest at facets was Swedish -MamaMoo-she rides a bike through the whole film. Don't know many others. thanks for organizing this! J.

Update-- I think the problems have been solved-- no additional laptop needed.

Watch the film listing for last minuted updates though.

I'll send another blast with the info late tonight-- there's no way to tell who's RSVP'd when. Feel free to text to the listed phone number for the link on Sunday.

Having trouble with the final film-- couldn't get the disc to work and the file is too big to play smoothly on my netbook.

Is there a chance anyone has a recent laptop with a VGA out that they'd be willing to lend or let be used Sunday late afternoon/early evening?

Please let me know . . . didn't expect this to be taking over my whole weekend . . .
