Event’s at Joel’s are always fun. The crowd is usually around thirty people giving everyone a chance to talk to the people that make Streetsblog (and Santa Monica Next) happen. This year’s RSVP list includes some of the leadership from So.CA.TA., a handful of members of the city’s Bicycle Advisory Committee, a staffer from the California Bike Coalition, in addition to Backstrom, Councilmember Bonin and his staff.
There’s still plenty of time to RSVP, right up until 5:45 pm tomorrow. Joel’s address will be provided with the RSVP.
