Events The Mercury: Assaulting Defenseless People for Fun!
Posted by Sarah Mirk on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 4:15 PM
I just want to say a big "thanks!" to the many hundreds of people who stopped by our awesome booth at Multnomah County Bike Fair on Saturday. Special big thanks to the brave people who participate in the track stand contest, withstanding thirty seconds of intense water balloon bombardment from the feisty crowd in exchange for a cool multi-tool prize from Bike Gallery.
It has always been a personal fantasy of mine to pelt trackstanders (those people stop at stop lights and twitch back and forth rather than putting a foot down) with water balloons and you helped make my dreams come true! And more so! One of the first winners was this guy with a seriously broken arm, who could not be talked out of sitting dangerously atop his bike while children with Mercury-supplied water balloons assaulted the shit out of him. Good job, guy! Next year we'll have water balloons AND waivers.

Yet once again, smirk wishing physical harm and ruin to those who are more talented than her.
That being said, the MCBF needed a way better food selection. Hot dogs and donuts just aren't cutting it. Where were the taco trucks?
The taco truck was next to the pink donut truck. I suppose you could have been confused because it didn't have tacos written on it.
Also, not sure if you didn't know this already Graham. You don't get extra points for commenting and taking up space on every blog post.
I'm still wearing my tattoo! I won't shower until it falls off naturally.
Dang!!!!
I would love to huck balloons at fixie riders AND Graham!
