you guys are making me feel so guilty! maybe i will maybe i wont, who knows.
the price, time, and entry fees are all on the poster which is posted twice in this thread... It is going to be really laid back and all skill levels are going to be there so it would be a great first race, it's not a big deal...
I'm just messing with you. I may not race race, but I'm hoping to get this rad "action camera" from my friend to wear and catch some people racing.
It's basically a shitty small video camera you can strap to your head or bars or something.

So yea, I'll be the nerd who has a penis strapped to his head.
i know about the price of the race and stuff i just didnt know if there waas gonna be show prces or stuff like that.
seth says from the basement with beer in hand five deep: "it's five bucks to do the trackstand and footdown which will also gets you into the show, it would be becoming of you to pay ten dollars and involve yourself in all of the provided activities."
insert seth picture.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
you WILL race
you WILL be awarded a gift certificate for a free lunch at the vegan strip club that you WILL not be able to get into despite winking real slow at the girl checking ID
you WILL sell gift certificate on craigslist
Or trade it to a bum for some rock.
i WILL race
i WILL geta fake id
seriously though i don't think i'm going to race
i kid
if im racing your racing!
I'd race but I can't. so that gives you no excuse not to. if you can find a better excuse then that I'll let you slide
haha, i didnt see the i kid part.
kid part?
I edited in an "i kid"
and why ain't you racin, i heard its your birfday
ahhhhh
yah it's my birthday.
I'm not racing cause I put it all together and I'd have the one up on where all the checkpoints are and such. haha. and that's not fair is it.
oh by the way it's 6 checkpoints and let me map out how many miles.
But if you tell us all the checkpoints now then it will be fair.. .....
yes....fair....
nope. if you can find where I live break in get past three dogs and a roommate with a baseball bat, into my basement past me to the manifest list that's sitting next to me then maybe.
I just checked the map and it's about 8 miles. depending on the route you take. I only checked one possible route. so give or take a little.
You, obviously, have underestimated me.
hahahaha maybe so then.
Oh, and look for me in the race in my speed suit.

booya.
i think there's gonna have to be a "best dressed" award
Alright, I'm doin this. What kind of turnout are you all expecting?
is anyone gonna be downtown early to ride a bit/drink/kick it? I'm not working tomorrow and I don't think I will be able to sit around all day waiting for this thing to start without dying of boredom.
If you want to go ride, how about a SE pub / bike shop crawl?
We can start in the early afternoon.
that sounds like fun, anyone else in? What time are you thinkin?
Also, this is gonna be my first race, and I was wondering whether the checkpoints were going to be like street addresses, intersections, or what. I don't get downtown as often as I like and although I have a pretty good knowledge of the layout I was wondering the best way to review my map.
street addresses.
Don't be too afraid. Theres only so many paths downtown with the one ways.
And tomorrow, want to meet up at3 for pre-emptive? or earlier?
Max is NOW!:Don't be too afraid. Theres only so many paths downtown with the one ways.
Be afraid, be very afraid!
hahahahaahah amazing!
3 sounds good, any earlier and we might just end up too trashed to ride haha. That should be the handicap for really fast riders, drinkin a 40 or something. Where do you wanna meet? I don't know any bars or cool spots really.
Hmmmm,
well i've never done this "alleycat" thing before.... but i'm in for sure. i'd even be up for meeting before the race for adult beverages if you guys can stand being near me & a pista...
just say when...
-kack
Everybody is welcome.
How about we start with a drink at Fathers Place on the east side?
i hurd walton is going to get a tatto of a map of portland on his arm so he dose not nead to carry one around during ally cats.
Fathers Place
time? 3:00ish, 4:00ish?
hahahaha that's the best thing I've heard all day......nice
I'm gonna edit that it's the second best thing the first thing was getting a voicemail from dean telling me my bike is done!!!
who wants to bet on the winner.
i know who my money is going to , lets raise these stakes!
Father's Place it is then, let's go with 3.
so the meet up is that fountain at the river? is that the salmon street fountain?
zelah:so the meet up is that fountain at the river? is that the salmon street fountain?
Yea. The one that shoots all the water toward the middle of the fountain. It kind of looks like multiple huge drinking fountains positioned in a circle facing the center of the fountain.
Is there beer at the showing?
Alex,
Satyricon is all ages plus bar with ID. Obviously not free booze, unfortunately.
However alex is entitled to a free PBR on me.
Oh, I know of a few parties downtown that are going on after the showing, so we should definitely all do that.
i'm going to try to make this... no one i know is really interested in seeing the movie so i might be alone. if you see someone with a green san jose with silver fenders say hi.
bring yer own! tis what im doin
starfucker is playing an all ages show at backspace tonight too (after the movie)...
Hey Max,
Any idea of where you guys may be going after Father's Place??? I forgot that some Furnace repair people are coming to my house at 3:00. I probably won't be rolling until 3:30 or 4:00... it takes me about 30 minutes to ride to that area (if i'm haulin').
-kack
so how do i get to salmon street fountain?
