"Official" BAFS15 Happy Hour Thread

[Arlingtonrider]

Sorry for the lateness in posting this. I’ve been out riding a bike and having way too much fun lately! Thanks to everyone for all that and especially all who helped with the festivities last night.

Please come join us for this final event of #BAFS15 – you don’t want to miss it! We’ve had a great and fun competition this year and we need to celebrate!

Achievements will be recognized, pointless prizes will be awarded, teammates and competitors will be met, and beer, food and frivolity will round out the evening. Special award nametags have been created by MSalemme for all BAFS 2015 participants who come to the happy hour.

This is also a great chance make new riding friends for the remainder of the year with whom you can share your memories of the glories, miseries and most ridiculous moments of this year’s competition.

Details: Friday, March 27 at 6 pm, Capitol City Brewing Company Shirlington. Please contribute $5-10 cash per person to help cover the cost of shared appetizers.

Bike and car parking is plentiful in Shirlington Village. A diagram showing parking info is attached. [ATTACH]8148[/ATTACH]

See also Post No. 113 in this thread for last minute details.

Many thanks to those who have volunteered to help with various things at the happy hour (fund collecting, nametags, bike parking info, etc.)! It would be helpful if you can show up a little early. If not, we can still use your help in other ways. Volunteers still welcome.

Thanks everyone. Hope you can make it! If you haven’t already RSVP’d, please remember to let me know if you’re coming.

Thanks for organizing this, Kathy. Sadly I will not be there with my stylish ortho boot because I signed up to attend some froofy fete at the French Embassy. Rookie mistake as I’d rather be partying with y’all. Enjoy!!!

[Arlingtonrider]

We’ll miss you, Sarah. Thanks again for all that you did to support BAFS riders on March 19!

Sorry, they have already been distributed!

I’m in (and with a stylish ortho boot) but coming late b/c Phoenix Bikes is doing a pot luck at the EXACT same time. Good thing they are just down the street. Eat first, drink later, I like to say.

Melissa and I will be there. We miss you guys.

Bad news: the inimitable Rod Smith will be unable to attend.

Worse news: I, Brünø, will be taking his place and awarding the prizes he sponsored.

Awkward news: I won one of them. Unless you really want to see me try to award myself a prize (no, no you don’t), I’m going to need a volunteer who can muster an unusual amount of gusto.

Bummer that Rod is not going to be able to make it out.

I can award your prize; gusto aside, I can be a pretty awesome awarder (is that a word? No? I am going to make it one.).

Although, I would kind of like to see you award it to yourself.

I won’t be there so I’d like to see a video of Brünø bestowing an award on Brünø. Please?

(Seriously, someone should consider video-recording the award-giving part of the evening.)

Ugh…something urgent came up and I won’t be able to make it.
