Wow, this sounds ambitiously excellent. I wish I had more help to give, but, well, there's always The Bicycle Thief...

...too obvious?

I can cook (I promise to not spill the veggie shish-kebob this time lol) and bring a copy of
"Breaking Away". its a classic. Also - "Rad" is a must see : it is SO BAD, it is RAD .

Oh...I'll bring a case of beer this time also...as long as Lucas and friends are there to help consume it...

Amanda,
How big of an event are you thinking of? Are you thinking weeknight or weekend?
I could potentially help with a few of the items on the list.

I'd second the vote for the bicycle thief. I can also probably also get a projector as well if you need it. Other than that, I'm cool with bringing food and booze.

This sounds like a pretty fantastic idea! Bikes, booze, & bbq are all great things, so why not do them all with lots of super people.

I'd also suggest "Quicksilver", an '80s classic embarrassment of a movie starring none other than Kevin Bacon - totally worth checking out, be it for comedic value, if anything...

Breaking Away is a great bicycle movie with a Hoosier deal
going on, a must see for anyone who bikes. And yes, Campy people were
arseholes in the day.
