This from Cascade's forums. It is on a Thursday and has free beer.
From: Chris Cameron
Well, here it is. The First Annual Cascade Eli Roth Biggest Bicycle Beam in Seattle Contest.
What: Who has the brightest bike light in Seattle?
When: Thursday, January 24th at 6pm
Where: Meet at Cascade Bicycle Club's glorious world headquarters. 7400 Sand Point Way NE (Follow the Luxor-like beam from all-points King County).
Why: I'm sick and tired of listening to all you liars and blow hards (yes, I'm specifically talking about you) blabbing ad nauseum about whose light is the brightest, bestest, blah, blah, blah, etc.
Rules: I'll make them up when I see what works to my advantage.
Prizes:
15-minutes of battery recharge time on a Cascade electrical outlet of your choice.
A $5.00 gift-certificate to Lazik International for all judges.
$10.00 prize for "Most Over The Top" set-up. (Handlebar and Helmet-mount divisions)
An IPA of my choice following the contest for all entrants (21+) immediately following the contest at the Fiddler's Inn. (n.b. If you don't like IPA's, you're automatically disqualified for cheating).
Please, no questions. Anyone asking questions will be banned from this and all future Circle-Light-Offs. Creativity and skirting "the rules" are highly encouraged. Well, here it is. The First Annual Cascade Eli Roth Biggest Bicycle Beam in Seattle Contest.Inferior generator Hub/dynamo-powered lights are highly-discouraged. They're not very American, now are they. (If you insist on bringing yours, we'll have a demonstration/sympathy round for you.)
Grey market, double-secret-probation Lumotec purchases will be given extra-credit points for the amateur effort. (Must present your club's membership card/a valid 2008 AlleyMeYow spoke card/lower-inner-lip CBC membership# tattoo to be eligible).
All decisions are more-or-less final (unless you paint bikes better than CycleArt/Joe Bell/Brian Baylis or are an expert machinist capable of making tiny cool bike parts I had dreams about in a recent vision-quest).
If you have any question...we'll, we've already covered that.
This should be fun. Should be.

lolz. If only the CBC leadership could impart such brevity and wit onto their great unwashed masses of drive-to-ride members.

Have you ever been blinded by bike lights on the BG trail? I put mine on low and point it down, I wish other would do the same. It may come to the point where the city will have to paint fog lines at the edge of the trail. I love my LED!

According to the Pointless 83-IQ message board a couple members (BigWheelerTrevor and the drop-dead gorgeous Ite-it) will be hiding in the bushes with their pellet guns and shooting at contestants and their lights.
I captured a screen shot of the threat and have forwarded it onto my contact SPD for review/comment.
We should be fine, but bring your day-glow flack jackets just in case they decide to skip their anger management class and start taking shots.

Man, that combination of spandex and neon has serious side effects: lack-luster attempts at humor, minimal capacity to detect sarcasm, and a complete inability to ignore us.
