Moped BBQ 11
Tomorrow is the official beginning of Moped Army BBQ 11 here in Kalamazoo. Members from all over the nation are streaming into town from Seattle, Boston, New York, Chicago, Tempe, Cincinnati, Richmond, Detroit, Elkhart, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, and more. It’s looking to be largest moped rally ever.
We rented the old 1977 Mopeds building on Portage Street to have parties in this weekend. Yesterday and today we’ve been cleaning it up, bringing in furniture and getting the grease off the floor. It’s shaped up to be an awesome clubhouse. If you’re reading this then you’re invited to the parties we’re having on Saturday and Sunday night (BYOB). The main event is on Monday starting at 10am at the current 1977 Mopeds location downtown near the Arcadia Festival Site. Come hang out and bring some food to share, everyone is welcome with or without a moped.
I’ve set up a special weblog for the BBQ that members are able to post to via email or their phone. Throughout the weekend you can check in to get a glimpse of events as they happen. Setting this up was a fun experiment since I knew that posting via cell phone could be essential during the weekend. We’ll be riding mopeds, and while the Rocket Star has free WIFI it wouldn’t be very real-time if I only relied on that. I combined Blogger, Audio Blogger, Flickr, and Feed Burner to do all the heavy lifting.
