Event Update: “Joe and Carrie” Bike Ride Cancelled, Party Still On
Due to the cold, wet weather, we decided a bike ride didn't really sound like a lot of fun so we're CANCELING TODAY'S BIKE RIDE to celebrate the engagement of Joe Linton and Carrie Lincourt. However, the party is still on. We'll still have beer from New Belgium Brewing. We'll still have a pot luck. We'll still have a raffle. And, most importantly, we'll still have Joe and Carrie. For now.

Don’t Forget – Party on Sunday with Joe and Carrie
When promoting the "Going Away/Engagement" party for Joe Linton and Carrie Lincourt, Streetsblog hasn't been able to help ourselves and often mention our fundraising goals. But let's not forget what we're really doing on Sunday. We're saying "see you later" to a local legend and "congratulations" to a happy couple. We're doing it at Eco-Village, we're doing it on bikes. I can't think of a more fitting party.

Help L.A. Streetsblog Reach Our $10,000 Fundraising Goal…and Say Goodbye and Good Luck to One of L.A.’s Best
It's with nothing but happiness that Streetsblog is happy to co-host the "Engagement Celebration and Farewell Party" for Joe Linton and Carrie Lincourt. For those of you that don't know, our intrepid Board Chair is engaged to a wonderful woman who happens to live in Jersey City, a mere 2,445 miles from Los Angeles as the crow flies. So, Joe is going to be packing up his bike, trading TAP for an NJ Transit Monthly and heading to the Garden State, at least for now, to be with his bride to be.
