Can you have a car inside the park if you get inside before the gates close?

I'm pretty sure you can.

Update: Bought 2 cases of beer and plenty of Shirley Temple stuff. If you need more than that, bring it. Also bring food for the grill. 4:00 cooking and general crap. 6:00 riding in circles! Yay!

Tink the grill is all taken care of thanks to poop. But we still need you to come.

RPC, I bought ketchup and mustard so scratch 'em off your list.

Um... I hope a Boogerspud isn't an annual thing, considering what it was for.

But definately good fun tonight. Good job to Baldy and Photons for bringing it together.

Alright you guys... i know that people took more photos than I did.
Lets seem 'em.

A brief recap of the evening:
- being stopped by the friendly cop for a "liquor law, no arrest"
- shirly temples for everyone
- biking just under a mile with a full-sized grill between two pirates
- trackstanding and backwards circle nonsense (told you I would upload it)
- grilling a zuchini the size of your arm
- grilling a fruit pie
- death race 3000 - i finished 5th
- new pirates old pirates good times

Kangaroo racing... astonishing agility, guys. Well done.

Thanks to: hosts Baldy and Dirty, grill-master Dave, cookie monster Nathan, and all who lugged jamboroo supplies to and fro...especially the grill. Was all fun and awesome.

yarr!

the boogerspud invitational was a resounding sucess, thanks to everybody who came out. we had a blast and raised some much appreciated cash for our recently injured mates.

the results are in! in a sense, we were all winners, because we had a good time for a great cause. but in another, more accurate sense, these were the winners

death race: RinceWind8. the race consisted of three "short laps" with two hairpin turns per lap. required skill as well as strategy, as the field was large.

skid competition: never really happened, but since he skidded through a tire, we gave the title to babychris, who also got first out of town in every competition he entered.

big lap: your humble narrator. featured a cyclocross gate crossing, which proved to make up the difference in the race, as i made the wise decision to hop the curb in the dark.

kangaroo race: ryand. the race started out as a "last man standing" endurance event, until we realized that riding kangaroo is much easier than we had thought and we could've been there for hours. the clear winner was ryan, who managed to remove his pants while moving. i'm still not sure how he did it.



as usual, the pic is a link to my flickr.

thanks again to everyone who helped us keep it awesome on saturday, you guys are the best.
