Dovetailing off of last year's successful Saturday evening storytelling time hosted by Mike Zanconato and Jonathan Greene, we are planning even more intimacy and commingling with the framebuilder crowd. New for 2012 we' will ramp it up a notch and have a 3D version of Smoked Out and Friday PicFest rolled into one. To that end I am making this an open invitation to framebuilders who want to ride hard, party hard, and also hold court.  Are you interested in infecting a captive audience with your enthusiasm and special stories for an hour or more?  If so, we want you. P.S. Don't even think of asking about this if you can't bring a bicycle to display and use to point out the finer details of your work. We'll have a room full of children who just love eye candy. 
Builders please contact Josh Simonds or Richard Sachs for details.
