Jennifer,

You're the third one who's asked that in the last 24 hours-- I'll send you the schedule but we really didn't think of it. If someone had mentioned that aspect at least a week ago I'm sure we could have figured something out. Next time . . .

Just for reference what would be the best time for a kid-friendly feature, and what would be an example? Thus far the folks who have asked would have been mostl likely to attend later in the day.

Is there any kid friendly film stuff?

Schedule semi-finalized, a few technical kinks to work out- watch your inboxes (likely ETA late Thurs night).

The event is mentioned in Crain's Chicago enewsletter!

Donations.

Last year we averaged $2 per head. This year we're shooting for an  average of $5 a head, devil be damned.

We're hoping for healthy concession sales (OK, maybe that's not the best wording) to make things worthwhile for Facets.

will this cost anything?

Time to start figuring out the schedule.

On hand is cyclocross content, ATB-ing content, messenger culture, freak-bike culture, world-bike-culture, bike activism content, and bike-related drama.  Feel free to state an area of interest and a general time you'd be most likely to attend.

Good news-- Bike Film buff George Christensen may be back from the orient in time to help co-curate.

By request of the venue the slate of films will not be publicly announced.

Please be sure to RSVP if you wish to be notified when the schedule is finalized.
