Austin Scooter Club

Ever had an interest in seeing yourself on the silver screen? Your chance is this weekend!

The director of Geeks vs. Bikers is looking for 8 to 10 scooterists to be extras in the movie. A trailer is being filmed this Saturday (9/25). You will be given an awesome T-shirt for your time.

If you are unable to make it this weekend, then just keep in mind that production on this movie starts in November so another opportunity will be available for those who want to participate.

Agenda
3:00 PM: Meet at Ross’ Old Time Cafe at 11800 N Lamar Blvd. Filming will take place in the parking lot and at Mickey’s Bar in the same shopping center.
4:30 PM: That’s a wrap!

From Eric on the Forum:

My apologies, but I am going to have to cancel this ride. This ride started as a planning session for our rally later this year, the majority of folks from the committee have had to cancel. The weather is projected to be low 40’s and very windy, and while I am comfortable with riding around town in that weather, I’m not comfortable with it out in the open country.

Again, I’m really sorry. I absolutely will reschedule this ride when the weather gets a little warmer and hopefully a little more predictable.

Flamingo International, a research company, are looking to talk to Scooter owners and people considering buying a new Scooter in Austin on 17^th February.

If you are aged between 18 and 45, and currently own – are actively considering buying – a Scooter, you could be eligible to participate in a 2-Hour Discussion Group in Austin – all about Scooters! The Groups are fun and interactive, and participants will receive a cash incentive of $100 for their time.

If you are interested in being contacted for this study, please contact Trish or Sam at Flamingo no later than this Friday (5^th February).

Thanks!

Our ride this month will cater to those scooterists brave enough to battle North Austin traffic.
