Date: Friday March 28, 2008
Time: 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Location: Meet at Loring Park in Minneapolis at 5 p.m. to ride at about 5:30.

In case you are pondering, yes, there were some issues during previous rides–all the more reason to participate, and remind the public that cyclist are traffic.

This is the perfect weekend to make your presence known. There is also a ride for Ghost Bike Minneapolis:

Ghost Bike Minneapolis will host a short memorial ride on March 30th, 2008 in remembrance of Ed Gorecki, a cyclist killed by a hit-and-run driver on December 11th, 2007. A white bicycle will be placed in Northeast Minneapolis at the intersection of Quincy and Broadway as a memorial and a reminder to ride and drive safely.

The Ghost Bike Project is a nationwide effort to increase awareness of the dangers bicyclists face, and to encourage cyclists and drivers to share the road. More information can be found at http://www.ghostbikempls.org/ (please be patient with the website as we
are having technical difficulties).

The memorial ride will begin at 1:30 on March 30th, at the east end of the Stone Arch Bridge. Attendees are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes early. There will be a short ride to the intersection of Quincy and Broadway, followed by the installation of a ghost bike and a moment of silence. Members of the public are welcome to attend.

From the upcoming page:

LifeCamp is a BarCamp-style yet intimate (perhaps that makes it more FooCamp-style ;) discussion/gathering that focuses on the question:

What are you doing with your life?

This will be a chance to connect and reflect and celebrate your successes and opportunities for improvement.

The format of LifeCamp is open and collaborative, with participants helping to lead sessions on topics that connect with personal interests, expertise, or enthusiasm.

Please visit the wiki for more info, and to begin planning.

I would love to meet any of you who could still use a little help ‘hacking’ your life into a productive glow, or have your own tips to share.

But remember, if you’re going to attend the parade on Monday night (6:30, Nicollet Mall), switch to a shamrock shake. We do have rules you know!?

Drinking on the Highways-Ordinance 853.030 - No liquor shall be sold or served for consumption or consumed upon any public highway or in any motor vehicle upon any public highway in the City of Minneapolis.

So, I’m originally from Texas (where a few of your other hosts have been hiding out lately). But, 9 years ago, I met a girl from White Bear Lake (you know, Go Bears!?), fell in love, and had to stay.

I find it easy to get immersed in a city like NYC, or Seattle. I want to discover the immersive nature of the TwinCities. There’s not doubt we’ve a great music scene, tons of great independent restaurants/bars, and a growing creative class. I’m on a quest to find these people and places.

Oh, and I’m kind of a geek. Hopefully in a good way. So my brief attention span often gets distracted by shiny, designy, codey, weby people and projects. I don’t know if this is a warning or a welcome introduction. I just though I should say hi, before jumping into the conversation.

Hi.
