As the 2012 International Fixed Gear Expo and Vegan Chili Cookoff Spectacular comes to an end, we’d like to thank all of the people who made this year’s event a success. To all of our lecturers, guests, chili chefs, and everyone else who found their way to Trebekaguay this year, thank you.
As always, remember that when you leave the IFGEVCCS, you are only permitted to tell a total of 9 other people about the event, therefore maintaining it’s integrity and keeping the whole thing from becoming too “played out.”
The International Fixed Gear Expo and Chili Cookoff Spectacular will soon come to an end, but there are still plenty of events to enjoy before the week is over.
TOMORROW

“Bike Baskets, Ironic Statement Or Essential Need?” A discussion with Lucas Albertson

NEW EVENTS ADDED TO WEEKEND ITINERARY

Saturday at 3pm
In this lecture, fitness pundit Lesley Cheryl Rowens shares with you the secret to staying fit and healthy on your fixed gear, and the answer may surprise you. Rowens explains that exercise is becoming played out, and that biking and moving less is the new form of physical activity.
“Has This Bean Been Harmed?” with Willie Sunker
Sunday at 2pm
Vegetable rights activist Willie Sunker gives you his five easy tips to decipher whether the beans you put in your chili are cruelty free. You’d be surprised how many farmers are making false claims.

ANTISOCIAL
Hanging out is so mainstream, so join your fellow expo attendants by not seeing each other and staying in on Sunday night. Event begins at 4pm and ends with whatever you want to have for breakfast, still alone in your room, at 9 the next morning.
There are no Halloween plans at the International Fixed Gear Expo and Vegan Chili Cookoff Spectacular. We will see you tomorrow for another normal day.
A vandal has been spotted in the area putting One Direction and Jersey Shore stickers on unattended fixed gears. These stickers have a strong adhesive and are not easy to remove without rubbing alcohol. Be vigilant of your surroundings and only lock up your bikes in well lit areas, surrounded by people.
If you have information on this vandal, contact the International Fixed Gear Expo & Vegan Chili Cookoff Spectacular officials immediately.
Tomorrow’s discussion on strap-in pedals vs clip-on pedals has been canceled due to lake of interest. Shana McShana’s lecture on biking with no pedal’s entitled “Pedal-less to Pedal More” will be extended through that time slot. Tickets are currently sold out.
