Why would anyone do that?
 danya
danya03.5.09 - 12:58 pm

so we could see and be seen. 
no point in chasing after each other if we can't see  what we're doin. 
btw, how was birthright?

Hey sarah! thanks for the help. i just need help promoting it and a rough idea of places to go hit up.

mattspeed03.5.09 - 1:03 pm
reply
Anton, we can see and be seen at night too. That's kind of the point, yeah? Besides, Alex tried to get this ride rolling an hour earlier than usual back in summer and it was a disaster.
Birthright? Who me?
I can promote for sure. I'm kind of blah on ideas for places to go though... I'd definitely say more open/running around sorts of stops, where lots of people will be around to point and laugh and stare at our awesomeness. Maybe stops on corners/parking lots near where the barhoppers, etc hang out. During stops have costume-only on foot part of the ride to run around the sidewalks chasing each other?

I am the polo girl from the Valley. Young Judea isn't the only birthright program, MOTL and quite a few others are sponsored by them as well. but you were the one who went on birthright, not me.
Your mom (ha)s a big do(ng).

Remember the Warriors Ride, or Mother of All Rides?
Just set the boundaries within so many blocks.  
Ghosts have to go back to pan pacific park if Pac man hits a 7-11. 
Something like that. work with it.

maybe the Sunkist parking lot by Riverside/Hazeltine if you're going that direction.
OR- running through Burbank airport would be EPIC if we could coordinate it.

So is there one big group that rides together to represent  pac man that's going to avoid ghosts and get a power tallcan so they can tag the ghosts to go back to their base? Or is everyone ghosts and only one pac man? or...  hmmm... ?

So what happens if a Ghosts tags a Pac Person?  Do they have to stop riding? Maybe they become part of the Ghost Team?
 Whoa... This could be really fun.
