Bed Races

[Joshua Wilcox]

So its Derby time and for the first time in my life I am going to the bed races tonight. If LVL1 was to participate in a derby event this would probably be the one.

Grab four of your co-workers, build a bed on wheels, decorate it, dress in a ridiculous costume—and then race. That pretty much sums up the Kentucky Derby Festival Bed Races. Each year, thousands of enthusiasts gather to cheer on more than 40 teams, while on-air personalities from WAVE TV anchor the live coverage from every angle, from the crowd to the pits.

I noticed this part: " the other half is donated to the 501C3 charity chosen by the winning bed team" and couldn't help recalling that we're a 501C3 ourselves...  ;-P

I'm guna go check it out to tonight if anyone is interested. It might be worth building a racing bed. Course it would mean we have a bed in the space. Still unsure if this would break our bylaws. It could be our way of getting some derby eye play time.
