alley cat madness
i want to hold a super strange frederick specific alley cat, followed by a skid comp and a freestyle comp. all are welcome, even if you dont have a fixed gear. course, i wont be racing, cause i’ll be organizing. if you wanna race, you cant organize. but maybe your spouse can. we need people to man check points. as many people as possible. they’ll have to sit there for an hour, i bet, so they have to be the kinda folks who like a card game or hidden bottle.
so we need volunteers, and anyone who does so can get up to 50 dollars of parts at 15 percent over cost. i think that’s a pretty good deal. catch: you’ll have to give us money up front, cause we have none. i mean, before we place the order. not just in general.
we also need unique frederick city ideas of stuff to do at the check point. rob and i have only JUST started to throw ideas around, and here are a few, some his, more mine, not because he hasnt thought about it, but because we only talked about it for a few minutes, and this is what i got.
-a ford (or small rickety boat) crossing of a nasty green part of carroll creek (away from all the noise and people and cops)
-a time trial around the dirt path at hood college
-having to purchase, and consume on camera, a tiny sample bottle of schnapps from the amber ghettos liquor store.
-something to do with boxing, at the place near giant eagle. i dont know about this one
-something to do with a bowling alley, problly a white russian and a pinball score…
-bobbing for apples?
bonus points: getting a romance novel out of the library
-getting a tiny tattoo
-renting porn from the porn shop.
we need ideas! also a name! also volunteers! also word of mouth spreading! also a date. i’m thinking second weekend in sept.
leave me you ideas!




















I’d be up for helping out, schedules permitting, blah blah blah… Let me ponder some Fredrocentric ideas awhile. I’ll be in touch.
my ideas are…AWESOME!
Foot down competition?
You could have a station with an easel and make the rider play pictionary with a random stranger off the street. I think the pictionary words would have to be easy to draw but mildly embarrassing.
If they still have first Thursdays or first whatevers in Frederick, that might be a good night to do it.
Can you get Deller to sponsor this? I just saw a poster for another alley cat somewhere that he sponsored.
Have a stop where the rider has to ride on a set of rollers for a minute without falling over.
i like the ideas so far, although i’m not sure i understand dave’s…. although it does sound awesome
