DC Uni 2009
Welcome to the official thread for *_DC_Uni_* (unicyclists of Washington D.C.). I'm excited to say that, as of January 2009, our club has 26 members and our member jurisdiction extends from Richmond to Maryland. Most of our members are from Northern VA and the University of Maryland. Ages range from 11 on up to 50+. We certainly have been a growing community of unicyclists in the DC area since 2007. Because DC is the main city of our location and because James (siafirede) thought of the name before I did, our group is called "DC UNI". If you live in our area and you would love to join our group, please send me a message. Currently, we're working on t-shirts. Feel free to use this thread to converse with other unicyclists in DC Uni. EVENTS COMING UP: _2009_Congress_of_Jugglers_@_UMD_ http://www.studentorg.umd.edu/juggling/congress.htm _2009_Unicycle_of_Dimes_: date TBD VOTING FOR SHIRT MOTTO The shirt color and logo (which will represent DC Uni) has been agreed on: http://img255.imageshack.us/my.php?i...xample1cg2.png '[image: http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9818/example1cg2.th.png]' (http://img255.imageshack.us/my.php?i...xample1cg2.png) Now for the motto: I gave everyone a few months to think about motto suggestions. Below are the mottos to choose from. Here's how voting will work: each member will choose *ONLY TWO *mottos that he/she likes. You can reply your choice via email or on this forum but you can only vote _ONCE_ so make it count! At the end of January, I will talley up all the votes and the motto that has the highest score will become our shirt/club motto. Choose TWO of your favorites: #1 "Never 2 Tired" #2 "there is no other wheel" #3 "it's more fun on just one" #4 "Why ride two when one will do?" #5 "half the bike, twice the talent" #6 "It's not an act, it's a sport! -Kris Holm" #7 (already featured on an existing MUNI t-shirt) "No gears No brakes No handlebars No problem" #8 "The other wheel is on my other unicycle" #9 "Because there has to be a harder way to do this" #10 (kidding, but thought it was funny) "Help prevent overpopulation. Ride a unicycle" #11 "Eat. Sleep. Unicycle." #12 "Idle hands are why God created juggling" #13 (corny) "We're wheelie cool!" #14 "It doesn't have another wheel" #15 "Single track Single wheel" If you are interested in getting a DC UNI shirt, please help me out by letting me know your size (S/M/L/XL) and quantity you want so I can calculate how many to order. Once everyone responds I can tell everyone how much their individual shirt will cost BEFORE we order. It appears that the more shirts that are ordered, the cheaper the individual cost is. I will be ordering some extras for future members so it appears that it will probably cost us about $8 per shirt. So far, this is how many shirts requests there a Joey Neigh 2 MED Jono Swartz 1 MED Joe Levesque 2 MED Peter Hufford 1 MED Dylan Radford 1 MED Max McWhirter 1 MED Matthew Bishop 1 SMALL (?)

I have brakes, gears, and handlebars on my uni =] As far as the motto goes...just be sure that if you got it from somewhere else that the original creator doesn't mind. -- siafirede 'DCuni' (http://www.dcuni.com/blog) - my blog about Unicycling in Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland *James* = my name ------------------------------------------------------------------------ siafirede's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6057 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75250 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

But on 6, just use the quote, not the attribute. To 99.9% of people who see the shirt, Kris Holm will be about as meaningful as all those signatures on your unicycle. I also like 9, which is possibly my favorite. -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "False facts are frequently formed from figures fabricated from fear fired fiction." -- Harper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75250 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I'm just trying to be respectful to the one who made the quote--others may not know him but to us, we know. I see what you mean, though, but I don't want to commit the horrible crime of plagiarism. John, I was reading in UNI magazine (issue 2) how you had a club back in the 80's-90's in the NYC Unicycling Club article. Have you ever ridden with them? On a different note, I have the impression that Minnesota is the unicycling capitol of the US. -- joejumps4fun ~*Joey* www.geocities.com/jneigh4 www.youtube.com/jneigh www.vimeo.com/jneigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joejumps4fun's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12476 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75250 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I added "2009" because that's the year we're in and it makes the thread title a little bit longer and thus, easier to see. It appears more current, relevant, and when we get to 2010, we'll know this thread was last year's old thread. -- joejumps4fun ~*Joey* www.geocities.com/jneigh4 www.youtube.com/jneigh www.vimeo.com/jneigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joejumps4fun's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12476 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75250 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

What do I do to become a member of DC Uni? I live in Maryland right next to the D.C. line. As for a motto, what about something more related to D.C. itself? Wheel Isolation without Representation? That one is really corny, but I think it'd be nice to have a motto that no other club could use. Of what you've listed, 8 is my favorite. -- explosionsq "It shouldn't take death to appreciate life."-Rakim )--360unispin-O ------------------------------------------------------------------------ explosionsq's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17274 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75250 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I agree, something more DC related would be better. Just shoot Joey (thread starter) a PM with your email address and name. For now, he is just sending updates via email, but I am going to turn my site (in my sig) into a club website. -- siafirede 'DCuni' (http://www.dcuni.com/blog) - my blog about Unicycling in Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland *James* = my name ------------------------------------------------------------------------ siafirede's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6057 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75250 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
