How do you spot a bike shop employee out riding?

He's the one with the $250 helmet and the $150 dollar bike.

Don't forget about the party today

Kyle and Carrie's 4th of July Extravaganza and Night of Mayhem

Start Time:
Saturday, July 4, 2009 at 4:00pm

End Time:
Sunday, July 5, 2009 at 2:00am

Location:
Wagenschutz Manor
1962 Walker Avenue
Memphis, TN

It is once again time for the Wagenschutz Annual Mid-Summer Blowout! Come hang out, bring some food, bring some drinks, bring some bikes, bring some friends!

We will have some food available, but please bring some to share. The grill will be available for cooking on as well.

Plan on playing some games in the backyard as well as some water activities.

As always - the fireworks battle will probably ensue. Bring your weapon of choice. No rules death match, except no fireworks in the house this year. While the fusia-colored stain in the carpet from last year's smoke bomb attack is a great conversation starter, it does nothing for the aesthetic of the carpet.

Around 8:00-8:30 we will ride our bikes downtown to watch the fireworks on the river bluff.

Call me with any questions (901) 258-3130.

Emily and I are going to buy firecrackers right now.

I made mention of Kyle's 4th of July party in a previous post so he hooked me up with all of the pertinent info:

After that tomfoolery there is a party at Odessa. It's Taylor and Shelby's birthday party so be aware that it will be rowdy with much stinkfisting.

I've ALMOST fully recovered.

I've still got a nasty cough that produces lots of green mucus, but at least my voice is back!





Here's the link to the Flickr Pool for everyone's Memphis BFF photos. Go add your own pictures and comment on everyone elses.

I know I had a great time and I've recieved lots of positive feedback from everyone who attended. Next year in Memphis will be even better. Until then I'm sure a lot of us will be heading down to New Orleans for their festival.

Oh yeah, one more thing...

I'm on a OAK!

Edit: Michael Green from BikeBlogNYC interviewed me before the festival and he just posted my recap of the weekend.

Skeeter's Pursuit Bike

I think the rocket-boosters on his seat make up for the drag of those pants.

It's Definitely Polo Sunday

Kermit's ready; are you?

Peddler Bike Shop, 5pm.

There's no ice so you have no excuse

I've told most of you that you're doing this:



It's Parker's last night in town before he goes back to Arizona for the winter AND we'll be celebrating Josh Ryan's birthday which is Wednesday. Thing starts around 10:30pm.

See you out.
