Crew Patches Done.

(all about 8.5x11)
Red: Tread (may need to be renamed) - 50 patches
Black: Critical Mast - 50 Patches
Green: Flying Dutchmen - 9 Patches
What I had in mind was putting one on the back and then one on front on the handle bars of participants. We can choose crews by flipping a coin, then attach w/ safety pins.
Still need to work out a lot of details, but this is a start.

Stencils Done. (May Need To Be Adjusted..)

finished making some basic pirate stencils. i think they look pirate-like enough. i am no Banksy, but figure these work.
the colored pencil markings indicate what color each clan will be placed on. they will be placed on pieces of fabric, safety pins will be supplied to attach them - or we might do bandanas?.. we will see.

Dropped off fliers, bought water guns, etc.
dropped of Ride Like a Pirate Day fliers to Artopia (with note about event and to contact me - as they were not there), SLC Bike Company, Disorderly House, Fishers & Pibs Exchange.
hopefully, these will all be our sponsors.
also, found tons of cool pirate stuff @ pibs & partyamerica in Sugarhouse. so if you are looking for a place with pirate booty, get your booty to either of these locations.
got water guns. 18 of 'em - ready to ride with the flying dutchmen.
this event is going to be awesome, only if you can help make it awesome. spread the word.

Most Current Info As of 9/5.
The time has changed to 5:30p @ Liberty Park on the 19th. Since this is the case, organizers need to be there an hour early - 4:30p.
The CTF(capturetheflag) will be at 7:00p. Davey Jones Locker will contact the Disorderly House about the times.
I am handing out a DOUBLE FEATURE: Blackout + PIRATE DAY Print Out - at Midnight Mass tonight. Here is the solo flier. Feel free to print out more and distro them. Definitely tell everyone that might be remotely interested in it - even people who don't ride bikes, but like pirates. We need to really extend our reach here.
I still need to make stencils. Does anyone have any white, yellow and/or black material? If so, post a comment.
Think of anything else? Post a comment. I still may get a hold of Artopia for donated prizes - no guarantees though.
Oh, would anyone be interested in spoke cards for the event? If so, tell me and make them. Otherwise the team stenciled fabric should be good enough...
drop a line if i missed anything..
