alleycat racers


We stopped by the park for weekend fun in the sun, and got to see the start of the Seattle Alleycats "Posse on Broadway" race.    From the racers I asked, the race is blind, you only know the next stop in the race when you get to the destination given to you from your last stop.   Some estimated the race could be around 25 miles, with all the stops being listed in mix-a-lots rap.   For those there (or within earshot) that didn't know the lyrics, there was a racer with a loudspeaker strapped to him playing the track.   There were some 40 people signed up, and the race starts and ends in Cal Anderson over by the playground.     Looking over the other race results at the Alleycats Myspace, it looks like there will be a pretty kicking afterparty, prizes for winners, and a big pile of fun for everyone involved.

Probably the best bit of knowing this was all happening was when I walked home and saw the POSSE UP tear sheet in front of the hole that used to be Taco Bell.  That sort of thing really twists my brain up.
