Spring Break 2008! Day One

So at around 2pm yesterday, precisely as Libby closes her laptop on her workday, we decide to go on a camping/biking adventure and we start talking about where but we can't decide and we start getting anxious about traffic leaving the city so we instead pack as quickly as possible and within a half hour we are in the trusty rusty red Volvo stay-wag with bikes tents tarps sleeping bags and Ramen on our way east toward an as yet undefined "natural" place, laughing, talking, hesitantly hoping we escape rush hour gridlock, and we pull off 80 in Davis and immediately realize the TRRV's power steering is no longer operating and--what's that noise?--there's some weird rhythmic thumping and we hastily park in a Shell station and turn off the car and run away from it like some predatory animal and call Triple-A and wait for the tow truck and ride with the poor guy to the TRRV's old repair shop in Sacramento and by nightfall we find ourselves at Lindsay's grandparents house wondering if we should just pitch the tent in the backyard.

You're officially invited. And so are your friends.

Today we'll be flyer-ing and sticker-ring the city to encourage cyclists and art enthusiasts alike to come to our photography show / fundraiser / good time party at our favorite bike cafe.
