Fiasco 34: Tiny Bubbles

Okay gang, you have a week to get ready for this one. The weather has gotten its shit together and it looks like we are going to get some summertime. To mark the beginning of the season, this months Full Moon Fiasco will be a Luau! Some Lifetime Members For Life are working on getting a free band to play at our free location for cheep drinks so cross your fingers for everything to work out. For those of you that don't drink beer, fear not, our Luau location will have a full array of drinkables. Maybe you can even get a little umbrella.

I'm pretty excited about this one and you should be, too. So go raid your closet for a flowery shirt or a grass skirt, and put on your favorite Luau wardrobe, get on your bike and meet at The Swamp Parking Lot at 8:00pm Thursday May 27th. We may not all be able to fit inside but we can still start our ride there. The ride will be pretty flat so put some air in the tires on your cruiser.

It Didn't Rain!

I was so certain that we were going to get doused again. I was also certain that not very many people would show up for the ride because of the rain. I should get my certainometer calibrated because it was wrong both times.

I had big plans for taking a longer route down to Peoples Park and back up the other side and around the North side, but that fell through and we were left with a short ride. I thought that would be just fine considering the weather was sketchy at best. Turns out the weather was great and that the Lifetime Members For Life are on board no matter the conditions or length of ride. I can't thank you guys enough for that.

We met at The Viking again and took our short ride to The Hub. If you haven't been there before, it's a small place with a few locals on any given night, scratch cards, cheap beer and the friendliest crew in all of Spokane. The Hub ranks in the top five of places friendly to the FBC.

The Baby Bar is quite possibly number one on the list. We left The Hub and headed there to finish out the night. It was Patti's birthday and I thought what better gift than to bring 50 of my friends to her party.

50 degrees/cloudy; 75+ riders

There are a few Lifetime Members For Life that don't understand why I don't have a theme for every ride, so they make one up for their crew and really follow through. That. Is. Awesome. Last month it was Waldo costumes, this time it was all denim. So for the next Fiasco they have convinced me that it would be a great idea to have the Hawaiian Shirt Ride. There are plans in motion to get a band and a location set up for the Luau so this should be a good time. Those in the know should keep it a surprise for the rest of the LMFL.

Also, I saw a few of you taking pictures. Just to let you know that the FBC is on Facebook and you are welcome to post your pictures there.

Thanks everybody, I'll see you at the next Full Moon Fiasco!

P.S.-- LOST KEYS IN THE HUB PARKING LOT.
ARE THESE YOURS?
Let me know and I will have them at the next ride. Or if you need them sooner, we can arrange that, too.
