howdy ridazz,

I've just designed the spoke cards for Friday's "Horror Ride". Went to Kinkos and copied and cut them but the lamination service there is crazy expensive.

Can anybody lend me some help in this area? Is there a laminator machine floating about? Or maybe somebody has access to lamination sheets. Tips/suggestions/anything will help.

Thankyous - and see you creeps on Friday!

the laminator I think is with mr. Rollers... I can help do some laminating if you throw a spoke card party. (spoke card party means like 3-4 people and a six pack- takes less than an hour.)

Thanks for the quick reply!

Ok cool, well I can surely pick up a sixer but I can't host because I rent a room in a married couple's apt. They're cool but it's 'their' place. So, if somebody has a spot - i'll bring the cold ones.

What about the laminator; does it require supplies as well? sheets? size? etc.

Let me know.

I should mention that I've printed up 175 cards but only 138 made it through my quality control team. I've done a head-count for the previous two Hollywood Ridazz rides and they've both been less than 130.

Actually, Steve K still has the laminator, having used it for the "Climb" ride. I also have my own personal laminator; having two going makes the whole thing go much quicker. I'm willing to host again, but it's kind of short notice for this ride and I usually ride Wednesday & Thursday nights.

Besides beer and the artwork, you'll need to supply lamination sheets.

if the cards are sizd to about 6 to a laminate sheet then you will be fine getting one laminate pouch pack with some left over.... there are I think 25 sheets in a laminator pouch pack at staples.

"Thus Climbed Zarusthustra" alleycat/cyclocross a couple of Sundays ago. Good turnout actually, but I got a little tired of lugging my 40 lb. bike up those giant staircases chasing a bunch of whippersnappers. Still, figured I might have won the geezer division.

I made 8 cards that fit/fill out a sheet of 8.5 x 11

This is short notice, apologies. No party necessary in that case. Still, can you or anyone else lend me a laminator?
