Once again its that time of year when we roast a pig!
If you've been before, you know the drill. If this is new for you, here's the low-down. We will provide one entire pig, roasted, and a large quantity of beer, cold. Please feel free to bring any items that you would enjoy eating with large quantities of pork. In the past, people have brought salads, beans, potato salad, brownies, tofu, cookies, guacamole, salsa, chips etc.
To help visualize the event, here's some pictures of prior years:

Adrian and I are mountain biking at Sope Creek in Sandy Springs Thursday at 6pm. I know this is late notice but I want to let y'all know in case you are in the area and want to join us.
Adrian is fairly new to Atlanta so this will be both of our first times hitting these trails. We are meeting at the interstate north parking lot at 6: http://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/interstatenorth.htm
If you are coming from Atlanta, please plan plenty of time for traffic, as this is right during rush hour.
It will be dark before we finish so please remember your lights! See you there!
Start: 7:00 pm

It's that time of the year -- Screen on the Green! This year it's being held at Centennial Olympic Park instead of the usual Piedmont Park. As such, you can't bring your own alcohol; however, it's my understanding that they're selling alcohol there (for $arm+leg). I'll probably try the 'ol wine or sparks in a bottle trick.
This is every Thursday night until the end of June.
This week they're playing Jaws.

After Critical Mass, come out to the new collective art studio/performance space/gallery, WonderRoot for a FREE show.
4 bands will be playing, and there will be a bar.
Come out and see Revolutionary Youth (featuring John and Alec of SoPo fame), and Apocalypse Radio (the most fun you can have with a banjo, ukulele, saw, accordion, percussion, and a wind-up radio).
This is one of the last times Phil and Becca will be around before they head back to NYC, so you should come say goodbye if you know them. And if you don't know them, come to introduce yourself and say hello.
Also, Sopo is having its alleycat there the following night, so you can come a day early and learn where the place is.

it is what it is.
EDIT: Like ckdake, due to lack to signup i'll do this when i feel like it. It's 10:12 and I still haven't left, so if anyone wants to ride at the track call me. If you want to go for a road ride, call ckdake.
Start: 11:00 am

http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ga/atlanta/439859370 or something kinda like that, but let's meet in piedmont park instead, right inside the 14th street gate, for an 11am departure.
Not doing earlier due to FM3.0 being the prior evening... Perhaps we could go later in the afternoon if that makes more sense?
EDIT: if you dont' sign up or get in touch with me, I'm going to do this when I want and meet myself at my house. So signup or call me or something, or both.
EDIT2: yeah. call me if you want to do this. Right now I'm just gonna go somewhere when I feel like it

We leave E97 at 6:30am sharp!

It's summer time and that means it's time to go see the laser show at Stone Mountain. Let's meet up at leave the city by around 7:30 or 8:00. If there's interest, we can meet a little earlier to eat dinner. The ride one-way is roughly 17 miles so put on the taint cushions if ya got 'em (pace will be relaxed... we're just out to have a good time).
Date is subject and open to change if a better day presents itself. In addition, as we get closer, this'll depend on the weather.
EDIT: This is a laser show ride and as such it will be dark on the way home. Don't forget to bring your lights!!!
EDIT: MEET AT MY HOUSE! (this means you, Kurt)

Eat. Drink. Sweat. Be Merry.
Partly sunny with a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, and a 100 percent chance of margaritas and enchiladas.
But seriously. If it's raining I probably won't go, but we'll see! It's quite likely I'll be there wearing sunscreen and a silly hat, and sitting outside.
EDIT: it is nice out, and I will be there, but given the number of people that signed up I may be a few minutes late getting there and may not stay for hours and hours.

Hola! This ride sponsored by Team Keine Panik! All are welcome to join. I expect the pace will be "moderate" - whatever that means.
We'll meet at Aurora Coffee at 8:30 and leave a little after that to go to the beginning of the Silver Comet Trail, approximately by this route. Depending how we feel we might check out a little of the comet. On the way back we'll meander a little and find a good place to cool off in the hooch.
Feel free to discuss and/or make suggestions.

This event is about young Atlantans and how we can get involved in our communities. We want to answer questions like: How do I find my passion for an issue or issues? What communities are meaningful to me? Is a community a group of people or is it an attitude? How can I become an effective advocate? Am I making noise or making change? or both?
Getting involved in the FM community led me to the greater cycling community, including organizations like sopo, ABC and Special Olympics of GA. Since then I've worked with the beltline and Citizens for Progressive Transit and I realized that transportation equity is what gets me most excited. I'm posting this here because I think FM is full of positive folks with lots of energy and the potential to do a lot of good for our city. I hope that at least one of you will come to Park Tavern next Wednesday and learn how you can make a small but important difference in your world.
There will be food and drink, short speeches, and conversation and networking. There's more info on this Evite. If you want to attend please add yourself to the Evite - it's free and all are welcome but we have limited space. Right now there are 29 spots left. For more info you can email me at gabriel (dot) gsc (at) gmail (dot) com.

Expect 25-33 miles at 15-17mph, depending on who shows up and how we're all feeling. Some days it's flat towards Stone Mountain, some days it's hill.
We leave 6:30am sharp unless you signed up for the event AND everyone that is there agrees to wait on your late self. No guarantees that we'll wait at all though, so don't count on it!
