North Coast Music Festival bike parking -- thanks (was one more volunteer shift to fill)

Edit: This originally said 2-hour shift-- I have no idea where that came from but sorry for any confusion!!!

Looking to see if it would be possible to get a bunch of volunteers together to help with bike parking (not valet, just keeping the area secure/providing casual assistance as needed).

You'd choose between an early or late 6-hour shift-- working the early shift gets you in to see the music that evening, working the late shift gets you a pass to a different day of your choice.

Please respond here so I can keep track . . .

Hey Howard, the chair is mine. Let me know where I can pick it up.

One last bump to say thanks to everyone who came out to help.
It was a great opportunity to attach faces to some of the avatars and online personae, and we seemed to be heavy on the Little Village People-- what a great bunch. Compared to Pitchfork there were relatively few bike problems to help with; definitely less of a bicycle crowd though (seems more like the taxi is the preferred vehicle of the clubbing set.)
It seemed to me the festival was an over-the-top success-- a Sun Times story I read said it was less crowded than Pitchfork on Saturday, but I was there Friday and Sunday and my perception was that Friday was slightly better attended than Pitchfork, and Sunday about another 50% on top of the busiest time at Pitchfork by mid-evening.
Would love to have the same arrangement with bike parking help again next year and if not would not hesitate to grab a 3-day pass.

Be sure to send your love and maybe your business to Blue City Cycles for supporting the bike parking with some basic repair supplies.

(and oh yeah-- got a nice patriotic folding chair-- lemme know if it's yours)
