Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

Yeah, April fools.
No suckers amongst you fools.
Spud, i have no design.

The fact that you didn't give that many details and that you posted at 2am gave it away.

Here are some color alternatives of my design not posted on the official 2006 t-shirt site. Red graphic on a black shirt or white graphic on a red shirt (DC flag colors).

did I get this right?

sunday: haines as you like (11am with cheese to follow)
2pm Hains meet up at club house to launch into the Hills of Yarlington ride/thingy

Location? I'd like to join you guys for a ride, if you'll have me (and, uh, actually show up this time).

show up this time? what?
Hills of YARRRlington was good, lots of hills, lots of fun.


Elbeekay is sitting this design contest out, so all the entries are up and the poll in the yahoo group is ready, go vote. voting ends tomorrow night.

:bday: :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday:

happy belated birthday, spud. (my apparent forgetting was just an april fools!) i really apologize that i'm a jerkface and didn't say it sooner! there's a sparks with your name on it coming tomorrow night. we shall celebrate, indeed!

:bday: :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday:


It was Spud's b-day?! How come you didn't say anything at the Warrior Movie night - I'd have brought a pie! Happy Belated!

also, the tshirt poll resulted in a tie... WTF? anyway, let's have a runoff between the top two, shall we?

and on the issue of front or back logo, don't forget that most of us always have bags on. i'd say the design should go on the front, with some words of wisdom on the back. (i think we agreed on "dc street pirates, keeping it awesome"?)

dc streets is a different group.

dcstreets.com

white on red looks great.

Which designs were the finishers?

anyone see the new bicycling?

ohya, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPUD!!!!

red, our current shirts say DC Street Pirates. We are the DC Street Pirates. that's who we are.

also, i have to throw in my $.02 that I really prefer black shirts...

and i woulda been the tie breaker...dagnabbit. I thought voting went until tonight?

+1

Logos on the back are cooler, but it sucks bags will cover 'em.

I thought the quote was gonna be "the pirates made me drink."

last alleykitten i went to with you i ended up in coney island very cold and very tired, and then very hungry, hanging on the telephone.

So Julie put your ass on the corner huh? Did you turn enough tricks to get back home?:D

Hey, I recall you had loads of fun with those yo-yo's she won, so it wasn't all that bad right?

um, what about monstertrack, huh? i'm sure you had a terrible time there.

WHAT! Spud, you've been turning tricks for Julie? Thats it. We are done. You are out of my stable of b*tches!

Dear fellow pirates,
Please, don't forget, we play polo every other wednesday. That being last night.
And we play at 7pm, that being the time.
(it wasn't my idea)

I bring this up because last night we didn't have enough people to play, we only had 3 people show up before 730, and the mallets (and mallet keeper) were AWOL too.

seems there's a mutiny afoot!

if you wanna stop the polo bit, or if 7pm is too early, please say so. i was quite excited for my first polo match in a month and was quite disappointed.

ps- you missed pie too. losers.
ps2- happy belated bday again to the spudster.

THis aggression will not stand, man!!

Sorry polo was a wash. But, I'm a non-polo playing pirate, so I've been skipping those wednesdays. Yes, I'm a loser. I AM looking forward to more springy rides. Sweet, sweet daylight savings time rides.

I'm sorry Julie.

I did send out an email informing everyone that I would be out of comission due to pulled teeth and Vicodin....sweet....sweet....Vicodin:o

My address was in the email. I was fully expecting folks to come by to pick up the stuff.

Again, I'm sorry if I screwed everyone over.:(

don't worry about it, y'all. several of our "regulars" were out of town or high on painpills or learning to change diapers or something, so it's all good. but i just had to say that...

Why does the birthday yam weep?

I thought it was some critter in it's larval state.

it's my birthday present belated.
i was suposed to post it but the forums went wacky

happy birthday spud
why don't you cry a little more

WHAT! Spud, you've been turning tricks for Julie? Thats it. We are done. You are out of my stable of b*tches!

no luckily after much fumbling through the bee bag she found her chinatown bus email ticket to return home and i didnt have to turn any tricks.

ehem.

so, for real, who's going to nyc?

and... who's in for CM?

i'm scheduled to work during alleycat and CM, otherwise i'd be at both. monster track was a blast, and i'm guessing this will be the first fair alley cat race since the New Year's Eve alleykitten, also its geared towards new racers and out of towners so all of you who are able to, should go and race. Ch0mb0 rocks and i'm sure others helping him organize will make it a fun race and weekend.

Hey guys, Charlie from jersey, Paul's throwing an Alleycat this Saturday, April 8th, as you've probably heard, but just wanted to make sure, got some crazy prizes and sponsers, words been spread like crazy and should def be an awesome time, but just wanted to see if any of the pirates planned on trying to make it up, haha, cause come on, let's be serious, it's not an alleycat unless it's been plundered

PS spud, chimbly, good seeeing u guys at monster track and having dinner with u, hopefully see u soon

Charlie, hope to see you at DUMBO! I'd be there sat but got wrangled into working a 10 hour shift at the bike shop...

CM, YES

NY, MAYBE but more no than yes

I am on for CM. Chelsea is leading the AU kids. Costumes anyone?

since i have to work during CM, does anyone want to have lunch tomorrow? whats going on post-CM?
