Can we count on you guys bringing plenty? Or do you prefer we pre-order?

We made 150 and there are 250 participants and Jessica and I will probably bring all of them that aren’t already distributed. But to guarantee you get one, you can Paypal or Venmo $5 per lanyard (includes 1 stylus) to hirhoward@yahoo.com and please note your NAME, that it’s for a lanyard and that you will pick up at HH. Jessica and I are tracking who has paid/not paid, preordered etc.

I will be there! And also be Square because I’m such a nerd

Exciting updates to happy hour

We have now managed to negotiate some upgrades to the final happy hour on Tuesday, April 11 at 6:30 at City-State Brewing, 705 Edgewood St NE, Washington, DC 20017. The following are the updated details. Please remember to RSVP so we have an idea of how many to expect.

* No cover charge >> recommended $15+ drink spend: Folks will pay as they go for food and drink. However, since there is no cover charge/rental fee for this, we ask those who can afford it to please spend at least $15 on drinks / merchandise / gift cards from City/State (not counting any food purchases which go directly to their food truck) and to please tip GENEROUSLY. They are providing extra staffing for us as well as closing to the general public to accommodate our event needs without charging us a rental fee so we need to ensure they don’t lose money on us. Thanks!

* PLEASE BRING ALONG LOTS OF friends and family (kids ok with adults) !!! Even though it’s technically a “private party” the more the merrier (and the more likely it is they will sell enough beer etc to justify having waived a space rental fee for us.) Anyone you know who wants to come out on a Tuesday night with a bunch of rowdy cyclists is very welcome to join us, even if they’ve never participated in Freezing Saddles. Anyone FS-curious will have a great time getting to know us!!!

* Seating: We will have the *whole place*, which includes both indoor and outdoor seating, to ourselves.

* Awards at 7pm: We’ll keep it lively with a little award ceremony to celebrate!!

* Bike parking: will be available on racks in front of the loading dock, and along the fence on the patio.

* Food: Catering will be by JB Humble Pies: delicious savory and sweet pies. Of course, those celebrating Passover are welcome to bring their own food. Cvcalhoun will bring a box or two of matzah to share.

* Drinks: What City-State has is primarily beer. However, there are non-beer alternative beverages available — alcoholic (ice tea + lemonade mixed drink) and nonalcoholic (lemonade) — which may work for those celebrating Passover. Please reach out to Rumi (dm rumipumi on forum) if none of these options will work for you.

I’ll be there to early (6pm) to help claim some tables for us. It would be amazing if there are others who want to come a little earlier as well so we can all sit together inside and outside!

1/30 FDR

My son is a graduate of Eleanor Roosevelt high school in Greenbelt, Maryland. Eleanor Roosevelt was of course married to FDR and Greenbelt it self was part of an FDR initiative to build planned, utopian communities.

I had no idea he would actually be wearing his Roosevelt high school band hoodie when I went up to UMD to drop off a mathbook to him on my afternoon ride!

I also visited the Federal Trade Commission with Millie and Christy which is a lovely building with sculptures and bas relief but took a photo of this very utilitarian side door with many ugly signs warning you of security cameras etc….
