people get ready

TONITE: THURSDAY, AUG. 24 6PM. Austin City Hall, 301 W. 2nd St. the more bikes we have - the more fun.

the city council meeting is this evening. there are extra bike racks. :-) we were down there signing up to speak (no i am way to shy to get in front of a microphone and a roomful of people. i would burst into flames. so, i donated my time to patrick g.) and BSS has set up some extra bike racks. please come down if you can. even better, if you want to speak - go sign up. you can sign up all the way to the start of the meeting. the agenda item is: 89. you can also just sign up and register your opinion (FOR OR AGAINST).

online things you can still do:

• e-mail via a online form the mayor and council
• sign the online petition. all you need is: name, DOB (or voter registration number) & address. you can keep your information private.

here's my city council letter. I know many can do better than I can - so I challenge you to write one up today! :-)
