My address, for you unwashed masses that haven't been here yet:
4817 Greenwood Ave N, Corner of 49th and Greenwood just off the SW corner of Woodland Park zoo.
206-353-7765 if you dumbasses get lost on the way here.
I've got a bit 'o beer, quite a bit of likker, and we'll figure out some sort of food plan.
Also, I do believe that Mssr. Canary is considering bringing his mudflap making operation up here, correct me if I am wrong.
Also, the electronically minded of you, we should combine forces to come up with wacky things to trick our bikes out with! I have a small soldering workstation.
I'll have the serger up and running as well!
PS: Re Ro, we should go shanghai his hobble-riffic ass over here for this.

I am THERE. I have a pair of pants that are dying to be turned into bicycle-friendly capris. And some other things.
Woohoo!

I have the rainlegs, but I won't be there. I'll be getting drunk and watching hockey at a bar.

dude, beer and hockey is so middle-school, we're big kids now.
bring them on the Thurs ride and pass them off to one of us, if you are willing to spare them?

That depends entirely on how rainy it is ;) Also, if anyone has the $55, tell me how tall you are and I can get you some when I got to Portland this weekend, and then you can make patterns and nerd-chaps all you wish!

What's this I hear? Dubious about the inclusion of electronics into a Stitch 'N Bitch? Cast aside your doubts, oh dubious ones!
I shall refer you to one Ms. Buechley, a pioneer in making clothes that blink and shit. Not only is there an electronic sewing kit capable of turning your clothing into a spendiferous, blinky Radio Shack display, Sparkfun now has a full line of sewable electronic goodies that can make your clothing light up, buzz, vibrate, sense or even contain a whole damn computer.

I have not heard specific affirmation or refutation from Mssr. Canary, but I am lead to believe that the two parties are merging. Corrections to follow if this is not correct.

I am game to attend for fendering. I may be a bit later (18:00) than you start, but I doubt I'll miss much. This group is never on time anyway.

Stitching and fendering should definitely be combined. Why segregate!?!

I am going to bring a pair of Carhartts to reverse-engineer
Also Seattle Fabrics sells a pattern for spats/gaiters, if anyone wants to go in on it with me.

I have a pair of the Rainlegs you all are welcome to borrow, as long as I get them back intact. If I don´t, all of you and your bikes will be at the top of the ¨things to run over¨ list once (if?) I get a Surly Pugsley built up. I will plan to drop by and someone can return them to me on the Thursday ride if I leave before you are done with them tonight?
--Matt.
