Subject: bicyclists Needed

Hello friends,
My name is Jesse Acosta, and I am the staff photographer for New
Times. I'm trying to organize a cover shot for next week's paper. The
Shot will incorporate as many bicyclists as I can find to demonstrate
the concept of "rush hour in a world where bicyclists rule the road."
In order to pull this off I need at a minimum fifty bicyclists to show
up at 8:00am (to avoid traffic) Saturday (09/03/06) in the plaza in
front of Firestone (corner of Osos and Higuera downtown SLO).

Things you need to set out Friday night, in preparation for the next
days festivities:
1) A bike with tires full of air ready to ride early Saturday morning.

2) Business attire i.e. business suit, brief case, pasty come-over,
glasses, "the young
professional look," carpenter wear, architect, anything to convey
a normal day going
to work just that you happen to be riding a bicycle rather than
driving a car.

3) Two alarm clocks that will ensure you arriving on time (8:00 am).

4) Big smile, because it will be a great opportunity to meet your
neighbors and be on the
cover of New Times, and you'll be able to point yourself out to
all your friends (who
didn't show up).

5) Money, for coffee and Saturday garage sales.

Please be there. I know that it is last minute, but such is life. It
will be good to show your support for biking here in San Luis Obispo.
Plus you'll be able to hit up garage sales on your way home.

Please email me a conformation that you're coming at:
watershedacosta@...

Thanks for your support and please forward this to any who should be there.

Sincerely,
Jesse Acosta
