I created a poll for people to vote on the date for the next SkateStrong workshop.
Rank from 1 (fave) to whatever.
Leave out dates you can't make.
Quotes from part of skatey-mark's message:
Hi everyone! Due to the multitude of schedule conflicts around the
original date for my workshop, it ended up not happening. So... I
want to gauge the interest of all the skaters out there and see if
there are enough people that would attend a workshop, should I decide
to put one together.

Here's a brief article about a man who painted the tiles of his roof as a sign to heaven for his deceased wife caught my eye for its comment on the emotional aspects of inline skating, and because of this age, around 84, when he broke a hip skating!
It took Mr Hall, 89, three months to paint the roof of Berta's
corner. Mr Hall said he was relieved it was finished because he broke
his hip roller-blading five years ago.
"Roller-blading was a way to forget the loneliness of life," Mr Hall said.
Spring is really here so it's time to stop thinking about signing up for Eddy Matzger's Roadshow workshop and actually do it. The Roadshow will be in the DC area the weekend of May 30 - June 1which is NOT Memorial Day weekend. For details see the web site or contact me off list (patchc@mindspring.com)
This is one of my favorite events each year, and here's my report from 2007. If we do this event, we will of course, be skating it, as the organizers and cyclists have always given us such a warm welcome in the past.
Hey! Here's something I hope will be fun. We're going to have a monthly Skateylove contest with a prize winner selected by drawing (or computer simulation thereof). Were I rich, we'd have amazing prizes. I'm not, so we'll do what we can!
Why oh why didn't I choose to inline skate sooner? After much internal deliberation on gear (skates, wheels, bearings, helmets, gloves, apparrel, hydration source, brake, yada yada yada) it's become apparent that I was putting up roadblocks to perpetuate my procrastination. All the while, local skaters of the Triangle Skating Club were out there doing their thing and having a great time! (http://www.triangletrails.org/ATT.HTM)

No, it's not my award to the one who lost the most weight in the Tour de Georgia. It's for the lamest spectator or other non-cyclist in the tour. There were so many, for such a small audience.
Wow. Really great stuff and sorry to be late on this with the Eddy workshop and guests coming to town, but over time, free internet video and the Tour de Georgia are both getting cooler. As I had to keep telling myself last weekend, I can't leave town right now with lots to do and some of it requiring me to be here, so I will have to enjoy this opportunity from afar it seems. If anyone thinks they want to get a carpool together later in the week, let me know (I know I'm dreamin').
