Awesomefest is an all day event that consists of cycling, a movie marathon and tattooing. Each year the theme changes. This year's theme is Lord of the Rings. Come out and join us on August 4th in Columbus, Ohio. All proceeds from the silent auction and a portion of the registration fee supports the non-profit organization Asia's Hope.
Anyone is welcome, though registration is preferred because space is limited.

More tattoo flash from Evolved. Plus, we are excited to announce another cool bit of information. In addition to Evolved’s resident artists, we are super stoked to announce that Luis Villagomez is here for the next two weeks and is confirmed to be tattooing at Awesomefest!
Not only is Luis a great tattoo artist, he is also a vintage Star Wars toys expert.
You can check out some of his collection at the official Star Wars website -

The Force in The Flesh.

Awesomefest 2011 poster by Brandon Rike. Due to popular demand, this design is now available for purchase.
Our friends at Evolved have sent us a few more designs for tattoos and here they are. These are from their guest artist from Mexico and I am told he has a few more in store for us. Prices to be determined.
The first Awesomefest 2011 Star Wars poster is in. Thank you to Christen Nelson for her brilliant work on this. Several prints will be available to purchase at the event.
And just a reminder for those of you considering attending. We are not collecting money from you this year but you still must register. Instead we are charging you to go out and raise your own support for the sake of the orphans in Asia. Also note that shirts are not going to be for sale on the day of the event. You MUST purchase your shirt(s) in advance through the Skreened shop. However we will have a silent auction again this year, complete with items from Seagull Bags as well as leftover Dirty Harry shirts from last year.
Pabst Blue Ribbon to sponsor again this year. Thanks guys!
are there costumes involved? There are so many possibilities and how awesome would be to see a bunch of cyclists dressed up as star wars characters?!
Are the bike rides on trails? 15 and 10 mile bike rides seem great, but I don't know about riding them in the road. Answer
Costumes would be a first, but no less awesome. Go for it! And yes, we will ride on the road. But we have never had an injury. We make sure that no one is left behind. We also have a car leading and following the pack to ensure safety.

Official Awesomefest 2011 Tee
This year, we are happy to be using Skreened to produce our tee-shirts. For those of you who aren’t familiar with them, they allow you to produce and purchase one-off shirts for an affordable price. This way, we can have multiple designs available in a variety of cuts and colors. So feel free to buy your shirt today as we will not be selling them the day of the event. And make sure to keep checking back to the shop for additional Awesomefest shirt designs.
