2008-03-13 Fri - St Patrick's Friday 13th Massacre Alleycat

ok, im a messenger in ny, still count?

Anyway, House of Pistard and Team Awesome are organising an alleycat on March 13th. Its open to all - to messengers/ non messengers, fakengers/ couriers.. people who ride bikes basically!

Out of towners totally welcome, but one small correction:

This race is Couriers and Fakengers only!

Chris Hoy, go organize your own damn alley cat.

Hm ... clarification, please.

Juliet on the one hand, and Nhatt and the poster on the other hand, seem to be at variance.

It means, i take it if you have won more than one Olympic gold medal you are not allowed to race.
fair enough

Also, I opted out of St Patricks Day years ago, so I'm just celebrating the fact that it's going to be Friday the 13th Jason in the bushes sound effect

The Foundry is on the edge of Old st and Great Eastern st...

every fakenger should know that!

From NYC, matt, you can't expect foriegn fakengers to know :-)

This looks like a good un.
First Alleycat, should be a lol. Any one fancy a race to last place?

DFL prize has your name on it huh?

Can't do it now, didn't check the date properly still in austria :(

i'm not a messenger... but got a bike and a bag... does that qualify me as a fakenger or do i have to start doing pretend deliveries?

gustav, Dfl might be the name... but i only get it if i don't get disqualified (they always close the checkpoints so early)

i could build a cardboard radio if it helps?!

hey! so im going to be in london from new york starting that day, where does this race start? would you guys be cool with an out of towner showing up?

you won't be the only out of towner

you won't be the only out of towner

ok cool. with any luck i wont be jetlagged/ travel-shot after getting there that morning. hope to meet some cool people there!

.

Julio, what time does this start? What is the latest that you can start?)
Cheers, FE

its meant to be starting at 7pm however they generally dont start when they are meant to in my experience. I have been told that this one WILL start on time but who knows?

.......but a slight late start (Like an hour!) isn't an issue right?

i dunno really. Nhatt might know

looking forward to this. but i'm not really a fakenger... if i pair up with a fully qualified fakenger, can i race?

;)

I'm not clear about this, either--I don't think I really got an answer to my previous post:

I might pop down tonight, anyway, see what happens.

its an alleycat. Thats it. No more clarification really necessary

oh Fun ! I had my leaving shingdig at work last night so im feeling rough ! may mean that i cant go for my second DFL !

Juliet, my question wasn't in respect of it being an alleycat, but in respect of two sets of conflicting information being provided about it. That was all my concern.

i see. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I believe the courier/fakenger business to be somewhat tongue in cheek..

where does it start ?

I googled the foundry and im not sure if i trust it.

Thanks
