Amici Veloci Swap Meet and Market

[Quillfred]

Just curious, i hear lots of people that want stuff, but is anyone letting go of what they have?
are they going to make more of them or is what we already have all there is ever going to be?

Maybe if the AV Bike Goddesses hear enough of us...... Otherwise I see a Black Market opening up with auctions, intense bidding. But seriously, I don't blame them if they are a little frazzled--look at the number of size quesions alone.

I have an XL thermal jacket. It is awesome, but too big. I was worried about the elastic waist so went big, but it loods ridiculous. I would be willing to swap it for anything in a L.

Hi gang -

The impression I have is that the order this past June was intended to be the last one.

There was an original order prior to that, which was originally intended to be a one-shot deal, but SadieKate and snapdragen tried to forget how much hassle they went thru the first time around and decided that one more order would be good, and that was the order this past June.

This order was advertised a lot on both TE and on bikejournal. SK did her darndest to make sure people were aware of it.

Considering the level of frazzle-dom both SK and snap have experienced in this last go-round, I doubt they will be up to going through this again.

There was a lot of work done by a few people to pull this off. I happen to know what SK and snap went thru to pull this off, and I also know that snap has gone through a lot of grief just recently trying to ship off the international orders.

I don't mean to turn this into a kvetch-fest, but there was a lot more work that went into this than some might realize. I'm just saying this so those of you who who hope or assume there will be another order in the future won't be disappointed or p-o'd if there isn't one.

A big big thanks and a lemon drop martini to SK and snap for doing so much to make this such a success, and thanks to BikerZ, yellow, lifesgreat and AuntieK for helping out bigtime with shipping and other logistical matters.

maybe we could start our own personal AV_Bay?

I'll drink to that! And let's not forget our other helper/packer, Pika!

I'm blushing with all the praise! I also want to thank all those who really did the hard work--I just put stuff in envelopes and boxes, and I had a lot of fun doing it!
And yes, handling and seeing all the merchandise did make me covet. I'm wishing I had gotten some armwarmers. But I am absolutely thrilled with the jersey I got--it's my favorite jersey!

What she said, except I want a windvest rather than armwarmers!

I don't deserve any thanks. Packing the envelopes wasn't a lot of work. Plus, I got to hang out with friends in Yellow's cool home, eat pizza and pet Pika.
