Jacketfest 09

[Penny Lane]

Thanks for bumping this! I think we all should camp at the suggested site for Forecastle and take shuttles back and forth. I would be willing to stay most of the time and keep an eye on things. Security detail for TEO... ;)

WEE! i always love it when Teo's in charge! i'll be lame and hang back w/you because that's a week or two before the bar exam. not sure of my emotional state at that point...

I'm in whatever it is. The suspense is killing me!!!

Hmmm, does it involve running shoes, pie, ice cream and beer???
Because if it does, I'm verrrrry intrigued.

Did someone say beer?

Count me in!

MMMMMMM BEER

[megalicious]

did someone say PIE?

[mjkoehler]

Pie should be classified as a seperate food group. Especially old school pies like Chess, Shufly, Black Bottom, etc.

Ok, so here is my cracked out crazy idea.

Have a Jacketfest/Meet and Great/Soiree/Shindig the weekend that Louisville has their marathon. 2009 apparently was Oct 18. I'm planning on running 2010. A couple others have mentioned they might be in. Certainly anyone up can do it. I plan to make is a long weekend in town anyway so I can take in some good places to eat, meet up with peeps, run, hopefully catch a show if any good ones are then, and certainly partake in consuming my body weight in pie and ice from from this place.

I think it would be great to have a team of Forum peoples running in a group (certainly homemade silk screen shirts can be employeed). Non runners can certainly cheer the runners on if they want. The rest of the weekend can have drinking, fires, music, general tomfoolery and mayhem.

Thoughts, ideas, comments, concerns? I am by no means a party planner (or a great thinker). Just a guy who wants to run, meet up with some cool ass people, see a fantastic city, eat some great food, and have a blast.

I'm not a runner, but it's a good idea. I'm always down to hang whenever peeps are in town, I just don't plan on running 26+ miles. Hopefully you can generate some interest. Maybe a new thread?  :-/

Do they have a 5K, 10K, & 1/2 marathon too or is it just a marathon? I dont think I'll be prepared for a full marathon quite yet, but I will def do one of the shorter runs. I think this is a great idea. We can be extra super healthy and then have lots of pie, ice cream and punish our livers. I'M IN!

I plan pretty much everything for my circle of friends so count me in to lend a hand.

[mjkoehler]

I do believe they have a 1/2. I didn't look to see if there was anything shorter. Usually its a 1/2 and full.

I can do a new thread.

This JUST might inspire me to run longer than 40 minutes!  Yay.  I'm excited about this.  I'm not really sure you can call what I do "running", at my best I run a 10 minute mile.  More time to soak in the ville I spose. ::)

Good, then I have someone to pace with since Penny pretty sprints her races.
