[Carfreeliving] Happy hour

[Dave Snyder]

Thought I sent this to the whole group. It includes a reference to 
this week's special guest, if he dares to come in the rain.

-----

I'm all for a CarFree Happy Hour next week, too, but I'm going to 
head on down there this evening and at least have a beer. It's been, 
like, a week since I've been to Zeitgeist, the intervening time spent 
in the very dry air of Colorado, so the rain is like salve to my dry 
skin, and the pitcher like elixir to my airline-addled brain.

I invited Justin Ryan, the new "executive manager" of the Bicycle 
Friendly Berkeley Coalition (in keeping with the theme of inviting 
new leaders) to join us. He said he'd be there sometime after 5:30.
