With just of few DP2 premiers going on around the country, with the NAHMBS & Seattle down you only have a few chances to catch this on the big screen. April 10th Kareem will be premiering DP2 in Atlanta as a fundraiser for the North American Cycle Courier Championships. There are a grip of prizes up for grabs so there are no reasons not to be in attendance if you are in the South East.
How time flies. It doesn’t feel like all that long ago when I was approached
by not one, not two, but three guys from Canada. Two were representing a shop
they were starting in Fort Langley, BC while the third was asking on behalf of
his now open shop BikeBike in Calgary.
Here we are 6 months later, that’s an entire winter which never quite
happened in the NW, the job for me has been going along much like it was the 6
months prior to meeting these three gentlemen. Their lives however, are much
different now then when we first met at Interbike and quite frankly will never
be the same.
To celebrate their next steps, Jon and Tim will be hosting a little party
this Saturday complete with free BBQ and some giveaways. If you live in the
area, for sure stop in and wish the crew well.
From their Blog: “A bicycle shop should not only sell bicycles; it should
sell a way of life.” Here we are at the beginning of fulfilling a dream that
we’ve had for years; an opportunity to meld our livelihoods with our passion for
bicycles. We are Tim & Misty and Jon & Alyssa, brothers and their wives
who are looking forward to opening Fort Langley’s first bike shop, in the heart
of town.

So this is it, I've finally put together an entire event from scratch and have learned a very important lesson along the way, event planning is a pain in the a**. I know, it will all be very worth the effort. At the very least I've done it once, I've delegated, people have been contributing, generating excitment, and I have met some really wonderful people in my community during the process. It's mostly Bellingham area businesses with the exception of Chrome, Jagwire and Pabst. Just think of all those smiling faces I will see enjoying the fruits of my labor. If you find yourself in town you should come out and play.
Thanks to everyone for their support and involvement in my personal experiment.
