Memphis Bicycle Polo in the CA
Read the article here.
There are some good pictures of us playing. Future photos will look a little different because of last night's mallet workshop:
And a video:
More photos on my flickr.
On a side note: The picture in the middle up top, clear pink mallet head, is a Nalgene Grip-N-Gulp bottle. Its a 12oz bottle meant for kids like a sippy-cup. Anthony previously tried to use a bottle as a mallet head but it cracked when he bolted it down. Maybe the plastic he was using was too hard. Mine didn't crack. Nalgene is known for their indestructible bottles but the real test will be Sunday when I can actually use it in a game.

Party for the Parks
via Revolutions:
This should def be fun. B. Thornburg is part of the Electrocity crew and can mix some tasty tunes. You might remember when I recovered one of his bikes. He also helps run Odessa (on Broad Street) with whom I'm working on a special bicycle related project. Details of that soon.

Wolf River Greenway Ribbon Cutting
Almost a mere two months after the opening of the Shelby Farms Greenline Memphis is opening another stretch of paved multi-use path. The Wolf River Greenway will connect some of the existing paved trails in Germantown to the Shelby Farms Greenline:
Shelby Farms Greenline to Wolf River Greenway Connection
The Ribbon cutting ceremony is this Wednesday at 11am. Mayor Wharton will be there so you all make sure to say thank you!

Broad Avenue Re-Cap
I know you're all expecting lots of pictures but I just have to disappoint you. I was busy working our "shop" so I didn't get to get out and see what everyone was doing. I did get a chance to drop by Odessa and their show was really nice, 2 minutes in there while simultaneously turning up a Pabst can was not nearly long enough.
But even though I didn't get to see everything, my amazing mom got a chance to snap a few shots and she posted them on her blog. Check it.
