This sounds sooo fun! I'm game and can bring food and help cook. There's also "American Flyers" as a movie candidate. Young Kevin Costner in lycra...yummy

This sound so amazingly fun.

I can donate my vegan three 6 mafia inspired BBQ skills. ( I make a bomb ass BBQ sauce, ask Lorena Cupcake.) I have a mini-grill I can bring as well.

Even more usefully I can put on my cloak and wizard hat and dj beats in between shooting off magic missiles and fireballs as DJ Tacopunch of the Tacoskull Kill Krew. (If you want to kick the tires I'm DJing at the Realicide (Cinci DIY gabber punx) show on Satruday.)

Movies? I wish Hackers was all about bikes and not roller blades.

I would like to vouch that Senor Tacolexa's Three Six Mafia barbecue sauce is so dank, it shoves Sweet Baby Ray back into his mother's womb.

I would probably make grilled pineapple with balsamic strawberry sauce, mostly because I would eat it every single day if I owned my own grill. Mm. Grilled pineapple.

EDIT: Oh, also, what sort of info/logo/etc would you want on a spoke card? I don't want to volunteer anyone, but I may know a bike ninja and hella good artist who may be in the process of purchasing a laminater for the sole purpose of making spoke cards. What sort of thing were you looking for?

Oh, no! That's the weekend of Comfest! This is an extremely difficult choice, pretty much nothing sounds better than a rooftop bike BBQ but I have been promising Columbus friends that I'd be in town for Comfest for months. Sigh.

I believe the 19th would be the Midnight Marauders ride....just sayin'. Sorry! Not trying to ruin your plans. There are just so many cool bike events going on around that time!

i know the marauders ride is the 19th but i figure the bash will not last past midnight anyways just so the people that live around me will not start a yelling. and maybe i can talk martin into having the ride start at my place.
