Hi BF Club of NYers,

Lynette Chiang here, heading your way on a book tour. I was hoping to
do a talk at Bicycle Habitat on Sunday Sep 12 in NYC, but it's been
cancelled at the last minute - Charlie, the owner, feels that no-one
in NY will come out to a slideshow about Cuba on a Sunday evening. Is
that really true folks?

Since I'll be in the area anyway, this is my last ditch attempt to do
my show in NYC. I'd love to be able to do it if you can help me. If
you know of a possible venue (Bike shop, Book shop, Norwegian Feminist
Square Dancing Association etc), and/or have an email list of folks
you think would be interested, I'd like to give NYC the opportunity to
'visit the real Cuba without the $55,000 fine'. If I can persuade
Charlie to have it at the shop, and a bunch of folks turn up, he might
relent. A better idea is a different location, however! You can email
him at cmcbike@... and tell him sure, you'd come out on
a Sunday night to watch a slide show given by Galfromdownuder.com!

Also... Mike McGettigan of Trophy Bikes plans on having as many
folding bike folks as possible partake in the NY Century 35 mile ride
starting at 7 a.m. on the Sunday. A big flag will be hoisted near the
start of the ride. Interested? See the BF Calendar
http://www.bikefriday.com/events.cfm. I was hoping to do the ride then
do the talk.

Hope to hear from you. Please email lynchiang@... as I rarely
check this bfclubs@... email address. But you'll have to do it
soon... I am flying out Sep 1 and sending a postcard your way!
