jumping jebus, it'll be good to see you.
I'm fucking showing up, quality IPA in hand. With the klein or with the puch, both need some attention. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a while.

I need a wrench party in a bad way. Every single one of my bikes is in bad shape. It's pathetic. Aaron, I will hook you up.

I've got girlfriend bike building to do. So count me in.
This is pretty much the route, busy arterials but the only reasonable way to summit the hills.

mississipi might be stopping by the buck to come along too, but will be in his own car and following so he can take off earlier.
if we have too many people leaving from the buck, i can drive as well and get a few more.
any north end kids that need a ride, go to the buck, 42nd and fremont, and wait for familiar faces. we'll be leaving by 630 at the latest i think.

Why not load all of the bikes into jeff's van and the peeps in the cars? That might open up room for more of both.

If we bicyclists can't even bring ourselves to ride down there or at least minimize the number of cars we take, then I suppose we really are doomed. Oh well, fuck it-I was hoping to ride down there, but I might as well drive instead. I'll swing by the buc to see if anyone needs a ride.
Speaking of the buc: Derrick, I just found out today that a co-worker of mine owns that building with her husband. Small world, no?

This thread is in desperate need of some horse cock:
No reason not to ride if you can Joe, sometimes it is hard to ride a bike than needs to go to a wrench party though.
I'll be hauling my projects over via xtracycle.

You know, you're right. I suppose people would be bringing some non-functioning bikes to a wrench party. I'm an idiot.

You guys may all want to drive, right now it is hailing and it looks like possibly mixed withfreezing rain exactly 1 mile due east of his shop.
it could actually be categorized as UnFun.
The horizon looks not bad though.

Damnation. The wife just called to tell me she was in a hit and run accident. [1]
I shan't be joining you gents tonight.

Dane, I hope your wife is okay. Any clash with 2,000+ lbs of steel is pretty terrifying.
