Oooh, I’m going. Remind me again before it starts so I don’t forget.
I’m fairly sure I’m going. Haven’t taken the time to think about logistics but I’m from around there so it’s also a decent excuse to visit family I haven’t seen in a while
Maybe I’ll go. I’m in Bloomington though.
absolutely no excuse not to go
Let me tell you from experience, you’re gonna feel this weird feeling of total sensory overload while you’re there, and then slightly depressed afterwards when you go back to your bike. This is how I felt when I had my fucking Anchor to come home to!
My advice: go to the show tipsy, shoot the shit with all the builders there, get invited to the after party and pass out on your front lawn at the end of the night before the melancholy hits.

I talked to my friends about it. Apparently they had already talked about going and forgot to tell me. I guess we’re going, pending both one of my friend’s prior commitments and school.
is this worth a 4 hour drive? I guess i could use it as an excuse to visit my parents, they’re halfway between me and indy.
out of curiosities sake

i live in athens, my parents live in dayton.
I wish I could make it out, but alas. Austin’s too far.
Folks from around the area: theres a velodrome in Indianapolis right? That’d make the trip even sweeter.
I’m not sure how much fun MTV in February will be, though.
blooming blooming bloomington.
who knows if ill go. i know some people jordan does.
Some guys from my town are going to either carpool up (it’s an 8 hour trip) or take a train. Hopefully I can make it.
I very well may come.
The guys from my shop go every year and I was thinking about going with them.
It’s awesome that it’s so close to home this year.

Just found a place to crash. I’m definitely going now that I can get drunk afterward.
