Ah, great minds think alike—Armen, we’ve been working on the cow cart idea. Our first idea for a cart was a barn. But we need an alcohol delivery system. Thought about a trough on the barn, but sharing drinks from an open-air trough wasn’t appetizing. Plus that’s just begging for someone to pee in our drink. Carrying bottles of Boone’s is out cuz we dont’ want broken glass. One idea was to have a chicken with its head cut off, and the drink would squirt out of it’s neck like blood. But then Luke suggested drink coming out of cow udders. And why not make it an entire cart? After some group brainstorming, here are the plans. We’ll have both a barn and a cow cart.

For the uninitiated, Bay to Breakers is perhaps the most fun on the West Coast. Some 65 to 75 THOUSAND people run, walk, and party the race course throughout SF. Everyone is happy, mostly drunk, and definitely in great spirits. Last year our theme was tropical and included a volcano complete with yummy hot molten magma!

Big Bird: “Did I get that right? Bay to Break-hers is on a Sunday this year? Nevertheless it is only two weeks away! Have you guys been scheming? Farm animals? Is the cart a barn? A hay bail? A cow? A tractor? There is some serious work to be done. What’s the plan?”

Indeed, there is serious work to be done.  We’ve been talking about a farm theme for a while, and I think that’s what we’re going with.  Here ye, here ye, our theme for this year’s Bay to Breakers is …

Boone’s Farm

Dress as a farm animal, a farm hand, a farmer, a farmer’s daughter, your favorite produce, a scarecrow, dorothy, a lion, a tiger, a bear, oh my!, a tractor, hay, a tornado, flat land, a pitch fork, a giant industrial potato factory, or anything else farm related.  Everyone’s invited!

p.s. Bay to Breakers is on Sunday, May 21.
