Tonight brings a very special event: the long-lambasted reunion of DJ Monkeytek and myself for a grand hurrah of decibel-dropping donuts. We will kick of the record rotating around ten, and keep steady thumping until 2:30am. If you don't already know, Beulahland is located on NE28th, just North of Burnside.

Sincerely,
Simon Goetz

From Isaac (Moped knowledge man #1):

“I know most of our travelers are coming on Friday.
Thursday's deal with be at The Slammer (500 SE 8th Ave) from about
6-9. We had talked about going to The Bog at 9, but will things
looking short on Thursday, we're still kinda up in the air.”

PLUS:

“Saturday AM we'll be doing a Vegan brunch at Adventureland, followed
by Moped Olympics and Amish races. ”

What are Moped Olympics and Amish Races you ask? Well…

“Moped Olympics usually includes Jousting (from mopeds instead of
horses) and similar tomfoolery. Amish races are a relay race on
mopeds but you're required to pedal instead of using motor power.”

Now, the Friday through Sunday itinerary…
