I bunch of us attended the meeting tonight. Here is the skinny.
Thursday between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. we can set up our stanchions and table. We are not permitted to actually start pushing the bikes in until 9:00 p.m. (they do not want us interfering with shoppers). The Mall will provide the stanchions, table and some chairs. We can use "keep out " ribbon (which Bruce has a zillion metres of) but they can only be attached with masking tape, so I will try to bring a roll. We have to be finished setting up by 11:00 (that ought to be easy enough).
Bikes should be low on fuel to minimize fire hazards.
The closest door to where we will be is the rear entrance, however, it is not confirmed yet whether we can use that or not. Sounds like there will be no problem determining that on Thursday when we get there. Otherwise we should gather over by the food court entrance which is closest to Westwood Blvd.
Only one bike at a time to be pushed in. That sounds kinda goofy, but I guess they want to minimize mass confusion.
Bikes have to stay there until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Again, they don't want people moving the bikes while there are still shoppers. There are some other obvious rules like we cannot block fire exits and we are not to intimidate shoppers, so I guess my "Harleys are best, Fuck the rest" t-shirt will stay in the drawer.
Peace and Grease, Dennis
