Any body else going? I really don't want to stand in line too much, but I've got shit to do later in the day so I'm going to go early anyways. If a couple of y'all are also going I can bring a camp stove or something and we can make breakfast while we wait, or play cards or something.

No I don't have a gamepod or iboy or whatever to keep me occupied.

It was one year ago at this very event that I first met Ryan and Chase Wreyford.

Ryan and I are going to a show together tonight.

Love blossoms.

I'm definitely going, but what do you mean by "Early"?

But yeah, breakfast and cards sounds fun. I can bring my Nintendo DS, also.

yeah, and I'm hoping to snag a vendor pass. Waiting outside in line is cold, I hear. Wouldn't know, personally, and don't really want to.

depends on what you're looking around for. Clothes and newer stuff, or rare/weird? go early. real early. Just going to watch the bike auction and maybe score some glovese? Before 11.

I'll stand in line with you Jimmy, and can bring a Jetboil + coffee press. I don't think I need anything, but I haven't gone in a while.

I was thinking of showing up pretty early, like 8:15. It opens at 9, so that means though there will be a long line at least it won't be moving, which will make using camp stoves a bit easier.

I really don't want to wait in line, but I really want to get in there before 10:30. So I figure hell if I'm going to wait I might as well get there early and enjoy some scrambled eggs and company.

I'll try to get there around the same time. I'll be trailer enabled...a bad sign because it means I might buy something.

Being drunk at 8:30 am, dominating others at mario kart, and then buying bike parts until I run out of space to take them home.

I'm shedding tears of anticipation.

I'll be making scrambled eggs with veggies and fake sausage. I'll have tortillas to put it in. Maybe cheese also. Planning on bringing about 10 tortillas.

Quick to cook and assemble, with time for the stove to cool off before I put it in my backpack.

Can somebody bring mimosas?

I can. I didn't get a vendor pass (too late, damnit) so I'll be there ~0800 with mixin's for mimosas. Actually, I hate mimosas so I'm going to bring another high-octane mixed drink. Bloody Marys, maybe. It'll be a suprise.

Edit: Langston, don't bring mimosas.

I'll drink at least three. Then get mad at you for beating me at Mario Kart.

Oh yeah, I have dibs on any 58-60 cm Bridgestone RB-1's. Frame-set or complete, I don't care.

There's no ATM on site this year, so be prepared. Though, that could limit my spending to a reasonable level for once.

Dibs on 29t 94bcd chainrings.

I'm not calling dibs or anything, but if somebody happens to see compact brake levers, I'm in the market.
