Developmental Progress Achievement Status Update: Strides Made In Mid-October

Hi everyone,

So this is my first post —I’m JonnyGrass, the other half of this operation.  We’ll see how this post goes.  So Laura and I did some good stuff today worth mentioning.  Who and why is it worthy to do?  I’m glad you asked (in that sort of disjunctive, unhealthy way that you did).

We have thus far:

• Secured plans for the construction of a bamboo bike trailer

• Secured and stripped preliminary bamboo samples.  Feast your eyes! 

• Secured starter tools that will soon grow into a large enough arsenal to facilitate our trailer needs
  
• Engaged in discourse with Chris Rouxel from the Orange Bike Project at UT who was really receptive to our project and the possibility of joining forces (the Orange Bike Project was responsible for last week’s screening of Quicksilver at Spiderhouse; if you haven’t seen it, you need to)

I hope y’all are as excited about these developments as we are.  We’ll keep you posted as more come along.  Also, I’d just like to give a shout out to Greg Dalbey in pdx who drew the amazing Bicycle Farm logo on the right side of this page.  If you happen to be lucky enough to live in Portland, you might notice that his band Ferocious Eagle will be laughing at the horror of being alive at Rotture on Wednesday the 22nd.  If you see him, give him a hug.

Ok, that’s all for now.
