i'll double check that i wasn't just stoned and dreaming it --- but i'm pretty sure the place had like 3 more left. on polk b/w post and hemlock alley, across from hem. tavern. there's a cell phone place, a convenience store, and then crammed in between is a little tiny dollar store type place. if they have run out of the shirts, then maybe the bandana's with the weed-leafs and "e canibus unum" printed on them and might be a sweet prize too... they got a pile of those and they are like $2 each!

Has the SF edition of Midnight Ridazz taken off yet and is it held on the same day that the LA does there's? If so that could be a really fun experience for everyone to partake in seeing that the 11th is the 2nd Friday of the month. In LA we up upwards of 1000+ bikes on our rolling parties! In time I bet SF could get at least that if not even more since the population is so denseless packed.

SF MRDZZ is totally up and happening on the second Friday of every month for reals but we don't ever get nearly as much attendance as LA gets, 50 people at best but it's still incredibly awesome. We should totally jump in with the Ridazz and get all kinds of wasted... like that won't be happening for the other 36 hours though.

Yeah I got there around 7:30 - 8ish and rode around a couple times with some guys I had just met. It was really fun, lots of pretty bikes and lots of fun! I'll be there next Tuesday, hopefully I'll see you then.

LA Ridazz started out small too. Something like a dozen people to start and then a few more and a then few more each month. It's been going on for just over 2 years now. Keep going, keep spreading the word, keep riding safe and having fun, and it will grow. I could totally see SF Ridazz being at least as big as LA's if not bigger.

do people still sell vouchers for flights on craigslist? i remember about 3 years ago you could find a few people on there selling vouchers for a pretty good deal - especially southwest. a trip that's regularily $400 would be about 50-60% lower. might be something to look into.
