Opening happy hour for Freezing Saddles 2016

[cvcalhoun]

Is anyone organizing the initial happy hour for Freezing Saddles 2016? No, I’m not volunteering to do it; I’ve already been abused enough over the registration forms. But I’d like to get it onto my calendar. I don’t think I’ve managed to get to one yet, and it’s about time!

ETA: Alas, I’m preserving my record of never showing up to one. I’m on a business trip to Arkansas that day (yeah, second prize was two trips to Arkansas!), and won’t get back until just after it ends. But the rest of you have fun–and thanks to the intrepid BAFS2016HHPC that organized this!

Oh, we can do better than that.

I will need someone trustworthy to vend the ankle bands.

I went with SteveO on his first beerneuring venture and convinced him that I was his trustworthy FS ankle/wrist band salesperson, so see me @ the HH if you want one (or more)… $3 each, or 2 for $5

Google Maps says it will take me 260 hours to ride there, so I don’t think I’ll make it in time.

Also it wants to send me the northern route and I’m not sure about getting through the mountains this time of year…

My experience is that it typically overestimates how long it takes.

Sadly, I will be in Los Angeles visiting my sister. I will try to take a ride or two in the bitter cold.

That said, I will need someone trustworthy to vend the ankle bands. And someone to announce my two pre-FS Pointless Prizes.

Hey Steve-O, I’ll be handing out name tags at the door. Happy to pawn off your wares to unsuspecting cyclists on their way in!

Sweet! I should be able to get there in like 250 hours then!

Why do they both outrank you?

I should be able to ride by to make a sarcastic quip or two.

I’ll be there.

Don’t sell yourself short: you can undoubtedly pack waaayyy more than a couple sarcasms into a brief visit! :rolleyes:

I may be able to get there by 7.

I’ll be there. Will be headed home to Shirlington via the Key Bridge and Custis is people wish to convoy. Not sure how long I will stay as I tend to get sleepy early.

Couldn’t have picked a better spot … two (downhill) blocks away!

I’m new to this game and look forward to meeting everyone.
