Boulder Folders,
Since it is full of links and other fun stuff, I am going to forward Lynette's email about her potential visit to Boulder and Denver. Have a look (below) and enjoy the links.
Thanks,

I'm organizing my schedule for March, and was discussing the idea of doing a BF Event i.e.
- BF Club Ride (movie clip): http://www.galfromdownunder.com/movies/bfclub-brisbane
and/or
- BF FilmFest like this: http://www.galfromdownunder.com/talks
and/or
- BF Dealer show (movie clip): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdqFySMY66I
in Denver and/or Boulder. I haven't been to Colorado yet - I've been wanting to forever!
Would this be of interest to you folks? If so, read on...
The schedule would be as follows:
March 7-15 - Arizona BF Desert Camp http://www.bikefriday.com/desertcamp
--> March 15-? - Denver/Boulder --- depending on availability of BF hosts
-->March ? - 2 - Eugene --- I'll leave before you throw me out :o)
April 2 - back to NYC
An ideal event would be as follows: meet at the BF Dealer shop for a social Bike Friday club ride, return to watch my BF Film Fest and/or BF demo at the Bike Shop. I just need access to a Powerpoint projector and screen. Here's what my BF Film Fest looks like:
If the BF Dealer is not workable as a venue (and it would have to be a closet to not work), a Film Fest can be done at a local Bike Club, REI, Apple Store.
We promote a typical event with an email blast to your area - here's the one we did for our dealer Rapid Transit Cycles in Chicago:
and with a poster like this:
After, we make a report like this one for the San Francisco 08 visit:
And update the dealer page like this:
We've found that dealers we launch in this way tend to be more successful for the exposure and bonding with the local BF community. 4 SIMPLE THINGS CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN...
1. A place to stay for a low maintenance Customer Evangelist (with internet connection)
2. A venue and date for the FilmFest (BF dealer shop or REI etc)
AND/OR
3. A BF Club ride organized - same or different day as the Film Fest
4. Powerpoint projector and screen for the films.
If all the above sounds possible, please let me know ASAP - I just discovered right now I can book a ticket on Orbitz that goes from NYC - Tucson - Denver - Eugene - NYC spanning March 6-April 2 -- all for $589!
Cheers,
Lynette Chiang
