Website upgrade complete

ckdake — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:25:26 +0000

Per: http://fastermustache.org/node/5837

FM has been upgraded from a security patched Drupal 5.8 to Drupal 6.5. Things should be faster/better/etc. I'm still ironing out some kinks, but most things are working at this point! The Gallery will be back soon, things mentioned in the above thread still hold true, and I'll update here as things change. Let me know if anything seems off!

You will need to go to your "My account" to re-set your block and FM preferences. Read on for details.

Turn in a parallel grate

ABC — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 19:04:18 +0000

ABC is sharing its list of dangerous parallel grates with Lawrence Jeter, City of Atlanta construction manager to get them reoriented the right way. He's going to be in charge of working with Watershed to get all those grates that were installed incorrectly (a lot of that going on with the sewer work) fixed.

Send yours here - the more we can track down right now, the better!

It took me a LONG TIME to get their attention, so I could use your help to make this list as extensive as possible.

Nat'l Park(ing) Day this Friday

lisa — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:50:52 +0000

Nat'l Park(ing) Day was originated by an art collective in SF and is now happening all over. Parking spaces are taken back for the day and turned into parks, art installations, etc- "the day when urban dwellers all around the world reclaim on-street parking spaces for purposes more creative and life-affirming than private motor vehicle storage". Streetsblog has some good (New York-centric) videos, photos, and info: http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/09/24/streetfilms-parking-day-2007/. The City of ATL is participating this year:

Atlanta, contact Karen Clarke.

FM.24.08 Race Report

X-topher — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:34:05 +0000

On September 6, 2008, 192 cyclists took to the streets for the 4th annual Faster Mustache 24 Hour Urban Bicycle Relay. Saturday morning's cool fall air was thick with anticipation as teams from Atlanta, Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Knoxville, Seattle, and London set camp in the Johnny's parking lot and on all sides of the building, claiming their space for the next 24 hours. The atmosphere was soon chaotic as the last racers turned in their waivers and bikes were checked for mechanical precision before the maiden lap. A warning was called out over the mega phone: "All riders must wear a helmet or their lap doesn't count!". The rules were explained, the T-minus was given, and at 12:00pm Saturday the race began.
