I'll probably be here, but if not, I'll just come back for the weekend - it was that much fun.

So I've got a page setup for raising money for the 2008 event - if you're needing tax breaks for FY 2007, go ahead and pledge me now!

I took some photos once I realized I wasn't needed. Then I got out of the way, but came back after dark just to see what I could do.

Still working on getting the benefit show in order, but the date is set for May 27th - live music, raffle prizes, food, drink - and all proceeds go towards Zito's medical bills. Mark your calendars and show up, you fool.

Of course the main objective of this blog is to raise money for the MS150 in June, so let's not lose sight of that - hey you, donate! (links on the right)

Of course you would! Such fun and zany antics await you as a scAVENGER (we think it’s pronounced ska-VENG-er).

So join us on Saturday May 5, the Cinco de Mayo, for a scavenger hunt via bicycle through Northeast Minneapolis. Ride places, do things, find things, drink things, see things, make things.

Stay tuned for a benefit concert at The Nomad, where Zito used to be employed as a bouncer before the accident - and coincidentally, the place he was riding home to after work last Friday morning. He isn't able to continue his job as the bouncer, as he is wearing a torso brace for three months.
