[TheThinkTank] 36 days till Bike Bike!!!!!

Free Ride freeride at bike-pgh.org
Wed Jul 11 09:26:54 PDT 2007


to shed a bit of light on this.  ok,  the place that we are holding  
the conference is called Pittsburgh filmmakers.  they have two  
theaters in the building.  that weekend, they will be showing the  
film "B.I.K.E.,"  kinda inspired by us, but also because of a local  
film dude wanted to bring it to town.  we're working out the details  
to get conference goers a reduced ticket, but in all reality, it is  
only $5. that will probably be running at like 7 or 8 ish.

what we could do afterwards when it gets dark (maybe gotta talk with  
some folks) is have a ride that nite to somewhere outdoors where we  
can set up a projector (i have one) and we can screen everyone's  
movies.  if it's raining, we could potentially use one of the large  
rooms at filmmakers.  i'd rather an outdoor movie thing tho.  Friday  
nite would make the most sense for this.

so anyway, bring your movies!!  we'll work something out.

in addition, we could do what andrew said and have a room where  
someone could push play.
