We’ll be at BikeCraft (bike craft fair) this Saturday, December 5th, selling our DVDs at a discount for the holidays. This is a rare opportunity to get DVDs and t-shirts somewhere other than through our online store. Come hang out with us Sandbox Studio warehouse located at 420 NE 9th Ave, from 10am-5pm.

And because hazelnuts are great at this time of year, we’ve roasted up a big batch and we’ll include a pouch of roasted hazelnuts when you purchase a DVD 3-pack at BikeCraft.

We had a great time hanging out this past week with with Brendt and Zoe from the Bicycle Film Festival! It was good to have them in town. I watched the shorts program last night. The highlight for me was Balorda, a piece about this amazing fun ride that happens every year in Italy. “We don’t have energy bar, only pork! We don’t drink Gatorade, only wine!” I’m heading to Italy to ride Balorda! I mean, I’ve been on a fun ride or two in my day, but all through this movie I kept thinking, “DAMN they’re having fun!”. So we’re working to bring Balorda to FBB2009.

We wish we had a photo of the BFF and FBB hanging out togther. They’re doing amazing work to bring their festival around the worl. Brendt just finished six months of travel. I asked him how it went. He said he’s tired.

Hey thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi and buy t-shirts and DVDs at our booth at BikeCraft. We had a great time, even if we had trouble breathing because there were so many people there. We estimate about 1,500 people attended and the hall was packed at 5:00, a half hour before the event was scheduled to open. And it stayed packed until 8pm, and full until 9:30.

We had a great time sharing our booth with our neighbor-friend Nikki who lives down the street from the Filmed by Bike headquarters. I was so distracted by all the people stopping by to say hi that I forgot to many pictures. Here are a few on our slideshow. You can find more from BikePortland on their slideshow.
