It's ok, I've been typing AND saying "moonbeam" from when I first heard of it until, well.. until I just read your post. :)

ok so assuming you score 6 passes and exclude one for yourself = 5 passes.

people who have expressed interest to go..so far:

1.jeremywhitehorn
2.darkmother
3.somnambulant
4.Shiznaz
5.Operator
6.sr20det
7.eyefloater
8.gokiburi

= naked snow wrestling for remaining 5 tickets.

oh my.....that sounds a little scary on a Sunday morning

Talk to Derek at The Bike Joint. He is the one who prints up the flyers and gets the permit for the ice.

Cool I will go see him as .."unoffically" Red Bull was "Hell yea we like it....that's the ****"... I don't want to push any race org members out of the way or anything. I'm a retired messer and bringing some of the crazy world of messing to the real world has always been something I wanted to do. How does Ice Races at Maple Leaf Gardens sound?

Lads ... I have in my hand FOUR passes. That's a 50/50 split, how you guys wanna do it I don't know.

Lads ... I have in my hand FOUR passes. That's a 50/50 split, how you guys wanna do it I don't know. So Sunday morning...Moon Bean... what time? I'm gonna risk the lock up by searching out this underground parking...that sounds cool. OOPS dbl tap.

I'm in as well & pass or no pass.

I'd like to see a pass go to someone that is honest and for true broke like a church mouse, but if it's combat you guys decide on .....so be it. :roflmao:

i'm gainfuly employed, so if there are some student/artist/transient/anarchist/lazy types among you i'd be glad to relinquish any dibs i may have had on a freebie...

Now the biggest question as of yet unanswered.... Is the food good there (Moon Bean), and what time? I don't feel the need to be there as the doors open myself but if you guys all want your passes early I can be there. I have two kids so waking up in the morning is no longer the problem it used to be. lol

J...you're a good sport. That's FOUR PASSES kids.

i'm ungainfully employed so i'll pass on the passes as well. not sure if i'll be doing this solo or with the girlfriend. if it's the former, i'll be supplying the requisite bbq pork buns. i can also double somebody up on the locking issue too if necessary (will be bringing a krypto-molly and onguard-mini.)

Moonbean has some food, but I've not eaten there-it's more or less a cafe. For me, the caffiene fix is sufficient to draw take me there.

As for the pass, I'm workin' for the man as well, so give it to one of the students. Thanks for the offer.

5! *zing* I'll check in later... we don't have a time yet do we. Got my loong krypto....
Lookin forward to meeting you guys. Bean and Bake then darkmother?

thanks. some good has to come from this boring job.

i'm probably having breakfast with the folks so noonish would work for me, but don't let me stop anyone. as for food; kensington is one big culinary experience so take your pick.

thanks for the generous ticket offer but i'm not 100% sure I will be able to make it.
it all depends on how long my lunch on sunday takes.
+ if I do make it down, I'll have to meet you guys at the convention centre because I def. won't make it in time to catch you guys at moonbean.

Ha ha....first a stimulant, then a depressant. No argument from me.:)

If theres no extra free tickets available I'd be happy to buy one myself... I may be a student and artsy and lazy but I'm not especially broke. Plus there is a chance my girlfriend may come, but probably not. I am meeting with Bike-o-phile at the show to pick up some bits for my wheels so I will essentially be going whenever he is (although he said he will be there on both saturday and sunday). I'll go ahead and put my vote in for meeting at moon bean at 11:30am, just because it seems 'proper'

PS. bake, bean and bake. and then bake again!

Hey don’t get me wrong free works for me, let’s just see who shows up & go from there. Time wise i say 11:00ish time for a coffee & get to the show around or just before 12:00 that's my vote. Still a few days before, so we'll see.
Cheers

Elevennnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Man, the bus doesn't even run here on Sunday...!

If one of those free passes are available hook me up with one please. <- student

Have fun guys. My plane doesn't get back 'til about 1 (read 2:30 by the time I get out of the terminal) so I'll miss most of the joy. Just as well as I need to cull, not add, my cycling pile.

I could go for some free pass action. Money's a bit tight right now. I'll happily buy some breakfast goodness for my sugar daddy though. ;)

PS. 11/12 ... whatev's good.

I was thinking 12:00, but 11:00 works as well. And if anyone wants to get together earlier for some greasy breakfast, let me know. It doesn't even have to be in Kensington... "have bike, will travel". :)

I have a couple places I like, but none of them are very centrally located, so if anyone else has a suggestion, let it fly.

Oh.. and to quote Jeremy:

Damn fscking right, brother! :) I'll also pass on the free ticket if a student needs one. If we wind up with a surplus we can always do the math and split the cost of the remainder of tickets that need to be bought between us workin' stiffs.

O/T: any musicians in the house?

good ones or wanna-be's?
BECAUSE I am the next American Idol...... :p :p :p

Get on your bike and ride down, ya silk wearin' buttercup! :)
