Volunteers Needed for VegFest on Saturday, October 24th

Hey everyone,
Saturday is vegfest, a great opportunity to table, talk, pass out lit., and take some donations. We will be setting up the bike corral/valet in full force. We are looking for some volunteers to help ease the strain on everyone. Hopefully we can get a couple people to work a couple hours a piece. Please contact me, or any of the collective members first if you would like to volunteer. My email is AglioFallsDown@aol.com. Or, you can comment on this blog and I'll get a hold of you. Thanks!

Short Update.

Hey everyone,
just a little update here. Audubon went super well on Wednesday. We took donations, gave away cupcakes, fixed bikes and had some awesome conversations. It deffinately felt like the aud. of old, except HOT. Can anyone get involved this Wednesday? It'd be great if someone could make buttons, or food or anything really.

Space will be open on Sunday from 3-7. We decided to consolidate and have our meeting on our open day, to involve the most people. Please come out if you can. Lots to talk about.

Check it!

It's not too late to submit art! We also need to borrow some lights (spot light type) for the show. Please remember to dress up. If you have any questions on what dirty formal is, just imagine if you were at a wedding, and fell down a hill. Or just rip the sleeves off your tux :)

UPCOMING EVENTS!

Updates:

Its getting pretty close to the art show. Have you secured a spot/submitted a piece? It's less than a month away. Don't Snooze. Also, remember, the dress is dirty formal/jeremy formal...anyone who rides mass in their party gear will get something special (free drink or food or gift). Flyer up soon.

We will be doing a casual little bike scavenger hunt on sept 13th to help raise money for the space. $1 gets you entry. prizes will be stuff like beer or goodies...nothing huge, but its always fun! We will most likely be doing this sort of thing once a month.

Sept 19 is Back 2 School Shuffle 2: Endless Summer. Mark your calenders and look for a flyer soon.

Open hours will stay the same through Sept. at the bucket. Sunday 3pm - 7pm, Thursday 5pm - 9pm. We would really like to start distributing more bikes. If you know anyone that needs a bike, and would like to do the earn a bike program, please have them contact us in person or via email at RustedChainBikeCollective@gmail.com

Thanks!!!!
Mike

I'll be the first to apologize to any of you out there who use this blog as a way to keep up on news about RCBC - posts have been few and far-between, and I can only explain by saying that we've all been busy busy busy.

Announcement:

Saturday the 18th: (tomorrow)

10% Day at Ethos Vegan Kitchen (1235 N. Orange Ave. - Map)
With flyer (obtain one from us) - have 10% of your check on Saturday donated to Rusted Chain Bike Collective - There also will be a showing of the film "Still We Ride" - about the criminalization of critical mass in NYC in the years after the Republican National Convention in 2004 - (9PM) and Apples to Apples. More info RIGHT HERE on this very blog, very soon.

In other news, our tentative "space" (colloquially known as "The Bucket") has now "soft opened." It's located at Maguire and Colonial (map) in the Public Storage complex - but we're outside of the gate, about 20 feet from the road. Can't miss us. At the moment, we're open two days a week, with the intention to expand these hours as our availability suits in the coming days. So with the addition of these two days, you have three days a week to hang out with us and learn about your bike:

Sunday: 3PM-7PM
@ The Bucket (Colonial Dr. and Maguire Blvd - map)

Wednesday: 6PM-10PM
@ Audubon Park Community Market (Stardust Video and Coffee - map)

Thursday: 5PM-9PM
@ The Bucket (Colonial Dr. and Maguire Blvd - map)

NOTE: If you have large items you wish to donate (bikes, etc.) sunday and thursday are ideal, as a lot of us ride bikes to the community market
