Meaning "hosting" a screening or simply getting him to invite you to one? If it was hosting, and you are tight with him (seemingly), I would think a local bike club event would be in order. I know even my consumer-grade projector would do a good job throwing this movie onto a 10'+ screen or white wall, so it could be as simple as finding a good location to hold a few dozen bike club folks. Maybe even an outdoor screening? BBQ and beer until dark, and then the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also have a LBS host. They are a Salsa dealer and would be into it. Logistics are more challenging as it is a bike shop, but we could serve beer.

dinneR ★ Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted June 21, 2019 The Digging Heart. by – Ben Weaver I’ve drawn a tangle of lines on the back of my map connecting the prairies, deserts, basins, and ranges we’ve all traveled from to pursue the spines and washes at the edge of this island wilderness, of Jay P’s backyard You could say we are all here as strangers on famous land with snow like a pile of sun bleached elk teeth up its early hooded mountains but I do not believe that is true we are not strangers When I imagine wind pushing into these rocks shaping and forming them, when I imagine everything it has ever touched each whisker, bone, wing, branch, needle I sense a certain kind of heart locked within everything permeating this landscape each of us this morning Regardless of our histories our ambitions or dreams I see it like storm light bronzing a flood of twitching horsebacks paused along the fence line, and it is why I cannot call us strangers So like a road, a river, or an island I gave this heart a name, The digging heart Because it shovels into the mist of our lungs leading us to that pounding in our ears digs into our dreams lifting out lightning bolts pointing to the next turn digs into our fears and keeps digging because if humble there is no bottom They brought us all here, these digging hearts they are half wild and resisting domestication they want to go on forever up the fire roads they are flames piercing all kinds of darkness in the frozen ruts, burned and restored beyond their own limits These digging hearts pull a thread through our stories they make us a community of adventurers rather than lone lost conquerors may we never stop feeding them may they never stop digging never stop pushing us to our infinite limits, may we all be unified in this pursuit at the edge of this island wilderness, in Jay P’s backyard may we all ride forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
