Pedalpalooza 2020 #63

I'm offering to host/MC a fundraiser ride for Pedalpalooza 2020. We ride, talk about each phone, ask for donations, get hyped! This is an initial step to show commitment....but is intended to be a work in progress.

I would manage/own ride logistics (coordination/publicity mainly) but would like help (probably from @kra) for talking/content at each spot.

Sound fun? If so, I'll follow by creating some issues (I'll own many).

Sure, you have access to this repo, right? You can push this yourself. Great idea, I can contribute if you can own it. I think the first thing we need is milestones with a calendar, not to make a big deal out of it.

There was an alleycat ride featuring the phones a while ago but I don't think the stuff they did is really applicable for ideas. That was a good format for interacting with the phones because only one or two people were at any one phone at a time.

There was also a pedalpalooza ride a while ago centered around Umbrella projects, they stopped at a phone and I gave a little speech.

TBH it might be harder to make the phones interesting to a crowd, but maybe that's not the point. Maybe make it more interactive by hooking up a speaker and having people take turns making calls that everyone can hear? I have one of those in-ear mic things, the kind that RBCP used for his video, I wasn't able to get it working with my celly, but get that to a loudspeaker and everyone can hear both ends of a conversation.

Thanks @kra . Yeah, I have access...just wanted to use a PR to highlight the idea and see if there's interest/criticism/tweaks...and that seems to be working. :)
