Brother Dave, if Lewis and Clark could paddle their way across the US of A, then i KNOW your could find some tributaries that will take you up to the windy city..........better get going today though
(if i see you pull up to the race on a raft at the Lake Michigan shoreline, i'll buy you the beer for the night)

Lenny,
I'll loan you my A.R-15 and give you directions to an un disclosed locale(near Cunard W.Va) you shoot the main tubes out of raft #69 (it's the same rightside up or down) I'll wear my low float olive drab, fishing P.F.D (life jacket) and swim to shore unnoticed we return to the nest and grab my board(s), Jump in the car, or on the motorcycles and head to Chi Town!!! It's fool proof, as long as the 8 shots it takes to sink the raft are on the money!!
P.S Don't hit any of the guests, cause I'll have paper work to fill out upon arrival!
I gotta see my brother Knuckleheads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welp, off to the river I go!

I haven't heard much, but last I heard is that, since this is the first race, we're keeping it simple. No frills or music, just cones and a good time. I think there's also going to be a tech-skating demo in order to cast a wider net of those interested. Bahne and Gravity expressed interest in helping out, but I've basically forwarded every thing I've heard to Marc.
Timers are still a problem. What do you guys use? When I'm practicing, I set an off-set randomly after the end of the course. Then purposefully hit it as a signal to stop the stop-watch. (Dave G taught me that!) That has been great for practicing, but will it work for a race?

I'll definitely keep you posted. I haven't heard anything in the past couple days. Last I heard, Marc was meeting with the festival organizers this week to discuss the race. I think right now the big issues are timing equipment and a PA/music.
As far as the party goes, I've not been to the fest myself, BUT where there's a will there's a way!!
