Hey Tony,
Because it's a group, I think only individuals can join. I just added you, but I don't think that "pages" (like our Plan B page or the one for Velocity Coop) can be part of the group. It's for individuals only.
It's just the way that our Facebook overlords have decided that things work.
Invites will be going out through snail mail in mid May and right now we're just trying to make sure that whoever wants one gets one. The FB group and the ThinkTank will help us accomplish that.
I can't wait to see some familiar faces and meet so many new ones in October!!!!!!

Hi there,
My name is Tony DeFilippo, I'm the social media manager for Velocity Co-Op in Alexandria, VA. I'd like to join your Bike!Bike! 2013 New Orleans group as our Velocity Coop FB account identity but when I go to do it I'm not seeing that there is a 'Like' available. Do I need to be invited? Thanks for the help, it looks like a cool event!!
Tony

Thanks, Tony, Per their message below (which I should have included in my email), best if you send them an email directly for us to join the group...

Yes, probably. Mr. Morrison is a smart cookie! Also, we'd like to encourage people to join the Facebook group if they have the capability. We'll also share the list on that page as well. https://www.facebook.com/groups/251742101526928/ Unfortunately, the bots and spammers have gotten pretty vicious trying to join the FB group, so if you get rejected, please send me a message via thinktank and I'll let you in. 99% of legit people will be accepted into the group. We're hoping using this group as a primary source of info can keep us from overloading the thinktank with minutae. Would it be helpful if the list were cut and pasted the invitation list to The Think Tank (not an attachment) for people to peruse? We're trying to gauge numbers and encourage early registration (which will be available soon) as we feel that this event may be heavily attended. (We hope so!) Hope to see everyone in a few short months!!!!

I'll look into it further this evening, there must be a way.
