Dennis,
That's odd; I've heard just the opposite. The people of Greensboro have been lining the streets anxiously awaiting the arrival of a large number of Bike GEEKS. From what I understand, the whole community can't understand why a certain small group of people go around biting the heads off of bicycles! They can hardley wait to see it in person. I have heard that the menfolk have urged the wives and daughters to steer clear of one Wild West Bikeslinger who has a reputation for breaking hearts!
Larry; dress for the affair? I don't have a dress. Why did you wait so long to mention it? No time to go shopping before I leave; I'm REALLY going to feel out of place now! Thanks a lot, pal. My birthday suit is at the cleaners; I guess I'll have to figure something out SOON.
Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no stinking BADGES! Dale doesn't wear a badge anyway; he wears a crown. Nametags, now that's a different subject. Roy Drinkwater is seeing to that. I hope the nametags don't clash with everyones dresses.

Starting in getting crazy a little bit early.
