OPEN HOUSE PHOTOS--Saturday picnic and auction

[BumbleBeeDave]

Oh-KAY! So here’s some more photos of the Open House weekend, this time the Saturday picnic and auction to benefit the Davis Phinney Foundation.

No friggin’ idea who this is, but she’s cute as a button and it never hurts to start out a thread with a cute kid picture. ;)

. . . Here’s ANOTHER cute kid, this time modelling one of the cool items available in the auction. They’re yellow. They’re cool. I want them. Unfortunately, they are also not Rx adaptable. D@mn!

Stud of a model, though . . . :rolleyes:

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . were some of the demo bikes available for testing.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . socializes with another Serotta owner. I feel like a doof for not getting his name.

(Note: Don’t feel like THE Doof, just A doof.)

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . Serotta fit guru extraordinaire (Happy now, Smiley?) on the left.

And on the right, that’s, uh, er, ah . . . Oh, D@MN!

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . aka “The Don”, at left. Others at the table include various people I don’t know.

Oh, and at upper center that’s Sam (the lady) and Chris from NYC.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . and I don’t know the guy on the left, but he was nice.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . that’s Hypnos, Unidentified Dude, Bruce K, Scooter01, Bradford, and, Uh, Eric?

[BumbleBeeDave]

Left to right: Judy (Mrs. LarryD), Maya and Web, up from NYC(?), and Bob, a local riding associate.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . not the annoying guy with the camera again? Moments before Ben calls “Security! Security to the picnic tables!”

At right is Mrs. Serotta, and I’m gonna get flamed for this, but I think it’s Marcie? Someone please correct me and be gentle.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . who these folks are either, except for the former Serotta Carol, second from right, who now is “Blue Sky Bicycles Carol.”

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . stuffs his cake hole. That’s LarryD next to him.

Sandy apparently has a hollow leg, because when the food came out, he just kept going and going and going . . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . approaches Serotta Jared (right) and Sheriff Serotta James to collect his auction purchases, which included the factory building, everything inside it, and socialite Mary Lou Whitney’s mansion across the street, which he promptly donated to the BumbleBee Dave Institute for Zebra Cloning Research.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . after completing his auction purchases by buying several of Ben’s used yellow undershirts for $48,568.24, beating out Serotta Sandy, who had forgotten his checkbook.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . to beat Pete in an auction, and that’s only because Serotta Jared paid HIM to take the “Shockster” rear suspension mount from the Ottrott MTB and dump it in Lake Desolation at midnight.

Jared still has the full set of Tioga disc mtb wheels with “Farmer John” tires that he originally had on the Ottrott mtb.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . were in attendance at the picnic, including the original “Big Willie Style,” aka William, at left, and at right, why is that Hunter S. Thompson? Nope. Just Ahnieda Ride. At least, I think that’s Ahnieda . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

When they say he’s BIG Willie Style, they really MEAN it!

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . smile and make nice. God Forbid if I p*ss him off.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . at left, and Serotta Jared, act as MC’s at the auction. No cute caption here. Last time I did that to James, I couldn’t upload photos for a week!

[BumbleBeeDave]

. .. Yes, ALL of it! BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!

But seriously, Pete DID buy a lot of stuff--and then promptly donated it all back to be sold again. You’ve heard of “St. Peter,” haven’t you? They mean “St. Peter McKeon.”

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . It’s aLexis!

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . Don’t know. But it looks like Scooter01 is fascinated. (Don’t let Mrs. Scooter see this!)

[BumbleBeeDave]

The BumbleBee has crashed. :rolleyes:

[William]

. . . Don’t know. But it looks like Scooter01 is fascinated. (Don’t let Mrs. Scooter see this!)

That's because they were playing "spin the bottle". :D :banana:

So much for my "hide in plain sight" theory. :crap:

How did you get your banana to dance like that?

God, that sounds awful, but I gotta ask! I mean, he’s MOONWALKIN’, fer Pete’s sakes!

BBDave

[BumbleBeeDave]

Let’s try a little experiment and see if it works.

[BumbleBeeDave]

My banana is dancing! He’s doing the macarena! He’s MOONWALKIN’!!!

But how did you get it to appear without the “uploaded image” box around it?

You know...Dave standing next to William is one thing. William could be standing on a picnic table or something...but I've met Ahneida before...he's one tall dude. Wow William...youz tall!
But for all his complaining, Sandy looks a lot thinner than when I met him last year! Good going Sandy!

Thanks for the pics!
