| Fool's Run II |
| What: |
| A simple fun run/walk/whatever stopping at bars along the way if so inclined. List of bars here. This is a blatant rip-off of the Cedar Rapids B2B, Bar-to-Bar, Beer-too-Beer run. We had so much fun, we thought we should try it in IC as well. But this one has more miles and more bars, so it's definitely more foolish and might be more fun! |
| When: |
| March 31st, 2007, 1PM (April Fool's Eve) |
| Where: |
| Starts at George's Buffet, Market St, Iowa City, IA, and follows a route to the east side of town, south on 1st ave, around the sycamore mall corner, down highland, then back up Gilbert to downtown, where there exists a plethora of bars. When you look at the map, click on the little balloons to display the bars. Click on the one right in the middle first. It.goes like this. |
| Who: |
| Anybody. We won't exclude on the basis of age, creed, color, size, shape, sex, gender, bender, suspicion, curiosity, politics, religion, ethnicity, split times, looks, all of the above, none of the above. But scantily clad youngsters who have nicer ipods will get more leers (and maybe beers?) than the rest of us. |
| How: |
| Just show up. No registration, fees, fund-raising, signing up, volunteering, water stops, split times, prizes, blah, blah, blah. Bring money if you want to drink and/or eat, cuz ain't nuthin free in this world. |
| Why: |
| That question is beyond the scope of this website. Take Philosophy 101. |
| Frenetically Answered Quandaries: |
| I know you didn't ask for advice, but... |
| Some Iowa City officials don't really like the idea of people drinking and having fun at the same time. Please try to obey crossing signals and don't give the officers any reason to bother any of us. Cars are a lot bigger than people, so be careful on busy streets and intersections. You may have the right of way and win in court, but the car wins in Newtonian physics. I'm trying to warn the bars ahead of time, but they may not have extra staff that day. So be patient and tip well! |
| WOW! Will any other celebrities participate? YES! Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Kurt Cobain will be making their first appearance ever on the same stage. |
| Six miles is SUCH a long distance, I'm afraid I could break a nail or muss my hair. Instead of running, could I ride my Italian-designed recumbent carbon-fibre 26 1/2 speed mountain-racing low-emissions bling-bike? Yes! Or skateboard, roller-skate, unicycle, surf, swim, crawl, undulate, squirm, dance, slither. If you can get your kid sister to drag your lame ass around in your candy-apple red radio flyer, that works, too. |
| Is there entertainment? Yes! Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama will be mud-wrestling, with Randy, Paula, and Simon officiating. |
 |
|
| What's a good time in an event like this? I'm sure a good time will be had by all. The bars close at 2AM. But don't let that make you hurry. |
| Why is this web-site so lame? And what's with the stars? Because I'm old and lazy and don't care so much. And I LIKE stars, but I do agee that they're annoying. |
|
| Is this for real? YES! Everything you see on the web is real.. |
|
| Party at Doug's house after! |
