Team “No Runner Left Behind” Back for 2011 Beat the Bridge

March 7, 2011 /

It’s that time of year again – time to get out those running shoes and prepare to do battle with the University Street Bridge, all in the name of charity.

Team No Runner Left Behind will be back again, putting together another strong showing for race time fun and psot-race champagne breakfast in Wallingford.  We encourage everyone to join us.  

 If you can figure out the Beat the Bridge Web site, regsiter here on our “Team Page.” But also swing by our Facebook Page, – a new page that is different this year than last year’s “Group Page.”Like the page and make sure you promote the team to your friends and colleagues who may want to join us.

See you all on May 15th.

A Suggestion for Your Friday Night

February 15, 2011 /

Our friend Jason Reid and the rest of the crew from Sonicsgate will be screening their second movie this weekend.  Man Zou is the documentary the 4 filmmakers shot a few years back.  The group landed in Beijing, bought some bikes, and rode down to Shanghai, filming everything they did on the way. 

They will be screening it this Friday at REI, and I personally think it’s a way better “date night” event than your standard dinner and a movie outing.  Here’s the info they sent via email:

Man Zou at REI Seattle – This Friday 2/18
Special event sponsored by the Cascade Bicycle Club, Q&A to follow       
If you haven’t had a chance to see Man Zou yet, I encourage you to come out this Friday, 2/18 to the Seattle R.E.I. (222 Yale Ave. North) at 7pm and see it how it was intended to be viewed, on the big screen. The Cascade Bicycle Club is sponsoring the event and recently wrote a blog post about it if you’re interested reading more.  Here’s all the specific info:

Friday, Feb. 18 @7:00 p.m.
Seattle R.E.I (222 Yale Ave. North)
Presented by the Cascade Bicycle Club
Tickets are $7 ($5 for Cascade members)

Reminiscing about the Harlem Globetrotters

February 8, 2011 /

I grew up in New Orleans, and if memory serves, the New Orleans Jazz left town for Salt Lake City when I was but a wee young ‘un.  (Did you ever think about why a team in Utah would call themselves the Jazz?  It would be like Seattle calling their team the “Heat.”)

But I do remember at least every few years, getting to go to the University of New Orleans Lakefront Arena to see the Harlem Globetrotters.  When you are a kid, it doesn’t matter that it’s not a real game, you just think they are the greatest players in the world.  Meadowlark, Curly and the whole crew.

I’d forgotten about the Globetrotters for a while, but I’m pretty freaking tempted to take a walk back down memory lane and check them out when they visit “The Arena that Was Sponsored by Key Bank When There Was a Tenant Worth Sponsoring an Arena For” on Feb 20.  

And this video from MyNorthwest.com is getting me that much closer….

Super Bowl Ads Part 1

February 5, 2011 /

Remember when the Super Bowl was simply all about the commercials during the game itself?  Well how great is it that now we have YouTube, so we can watch all the commercials BEFORE the game itself, including all of the “Banned” ones that “didn’t make it.”  (Don’t you just love that every brand has a “Banned” commercial now?”

According to early research, this Volkswagen gem is leading the pre-game hype for Best Ad.  

Cheeseheads with Attitude

January 31, 2011 /

If you didn’t have enough reasons to root for Green Bay over the Steelers this week, here are 3 more.  I love the “Cheeseheads with Attitude” and the host of videos they have on YouTube.
