Savior.

Josh made due with just regular gasoline when I forgot to buy lighter fluid.


Thanks Josh.

R-alley Cat blow out.

The extreme cold destroyed all but one photo which is being saved and re-touched(heavily) as we speak. Corndog won. Monica was first and only female, she got all pink deep v's. Treebeard tumbled in at 2nd place, but there is no proof he didn't use his ham radio. Zack won the freestyle with a backwards spinning wheelie. DFL went to a young man on a full-suspension MTB. Needless to say, he had some mechanical issues...
Thanks to everyone who particapated, and special thanks to Counterbalance Bicycles and Saul from Raleigh USA.
Cheers
Robert

Thursday March 5th.

Tonight at the meeting we will be fine tuning the T-shirt designs. Voting for the shirts will last one week. Keep and eye out for Chuck and or Corndog.

We will also discuss our first fundraiser for the Westside R-alley Cat. We will need checkpoint folks and spectators. Checkpoints will not be revealed until the start of the race, sorry.

And, I am sure we will bs about a lot of shit too.

Also, Billy from Hooverville Bar says that they are working to fix up and re-open, but they may not be open by May. So, I have volunteered myself and everyone else to come help with clean-up.
Good Luck! Hooverville.

Thanks
Robert

Belltown Underground Confirmed.

Thanks to Joshua at the Underground Events Center for making this simple and easy. We now have access to this great space for two nights. The Dead Babies have agreed to run Security and the Bar. We want people to explore the city and find unique spots to finish out their evenings, so we are closing the venue at 12pm both nights. We can all go out and enjoy this great city we call Seattle. Both nights at the Underground will be beer only. If you register and pay for the Westside Invite you will recieve a custom waterbottle. With this waterbottle you will recieve beer from the WSI all weekend long. This includes the Underground, but no other bars in Seattle. If you have not registered or paid you can purchase a cup at the door and drink beer all night for $10, 21 and older only. We see the beer going very fast. Yum.

Meetings every Wednesday at Mobius Cycle.
Later

Westside R-alley Cat

Yo. Kevin and I are throwin' this here alley cat to scare everyone away for good.


This alley cat is going to take you to the dirtiest, scummiest, and nastiest places in Seattle. This is the first of three Fundraisers that we are organizing to promote and fund the Westside 2009.
We will finish the race at the I-5 Colonnade with a BBQ and Fixed Freestyle and Footdown. If anyone wants to run a checkpoint please raise their hands now. There will be prizes, beer and food. Hopefully some blood and puncture wounds too. Kevin is organizing the freestyle event so as to iron out any kinks before the Westside in May. We are still debating on what style of freestyle to do. Will each rider get one minute to perform, or will it be a open session? Any suggestions?


Come out and join us, Rain or Shine.

Thanks
Robert.

I saw it for Myself.

It is true. A fire started in the building that housed Hooverville Bar this last Wednesday. No one was hurt and I believe it was not a total loss. The fire reportedly started in a ceiling fan on the upper floor. This may change the schedule for the Westside Invite, keep checking the website for updates. At some point we, as a bicycle community, should get together and find a way to help the owners clean up or rebuild. Hooverville Bar has been an ardent supporter of messenger and other cycling events since they opened, and we owe them our gratitude.

Thanks
Robert
