E250 LIVE at Velo Cult

August 9, 2015Beer, Bicycling, Communication, Fun, Handcycling, Kitchen, Simpler Livingsprocketpodcast

It has been nearly 5 years now since the podcast first began regular production. What better way to celebrate than with all of our friends at a bike shop?

There was bingo, there was trivia, there were tons of thank-yous; we talked on the phone with legendary listener JohnnyK, interviewed and were interviewed by the amazing Snack Parade, heard several one minute stories from the audience, and, of course, read some mail.

Watch the video from this show here!
Note: the audio & video are not quite synced yet and the actual show starts at the 39:30 timepoint – right now the video file available is a direct copy of the night’s livestream. We’ll update this when a final cut is uploaded.

Many thanks to Aaron Parecki for video services, Aaron Delani for house sound, Eric Iverson & the Grilled By Bike crew for leading the pre-event ride, Velo Cult Bike Shop & Tavern for hosting us at their wonderful space, The Beer Mongers for their sponsorship, and, as always, thanks to our generous Patreon donors that keep us going!
