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.

Awesomefest Poster #4
This weeks poster was designed by the amazing Jeff Rigsby. He is a graphic designer who also happens to be married to Linzi, who designed this poster. So much talent in one family!
We are drawing close to the one month mark. Make sure to pay your fees early to get the cheaper rate. Early registration also helps the theater to better know how to prepare for the event if they have a more accurate head count.
In other news, the t-shirts are going off to press at American Canvas this week. We are super excited to have them do our shirts. Keep it local! They are gorgeous, 50/50, lightweight Anvil tees. You can purchase additional shirts at a lower rate today. Extra shirts will be for sale on the day of the event for $25. They make great gifts and you are supporting the charity as well.
Finally, we are proud to have Roll and Hatfield Chiropractic on board as sponsors again this year. We couldn’t do Awesomefest without all our amazing sponsors.

So, as promised, we have some BIG news. No, Clint isn’t popping in for a visit unfortunately (not for lack of trying). We are, however, going to be having this years Awesomefest at Gateway theater! We will have a 122 seat theater all to ourselves. Not only does this mean multiple toilets, air conditioning and comfortable seats but it is also logistically more convenient as the theater has a full kitchen to feed us and Evolved is only 3 blocks away!
With this good news comes a couple of slightly less convenient bits of news. The first is we had to move the date (the last time, I promise). We are now holding the event on July 31st. This is good news for those of you who are participating in Pelotonia, since you no longer have conflicting dates (consider Awesomefest a practice ride). The second thing is that the fee had to increase a bit. This is due to the licensing fees we have to pay the movie studio to screen the films. The new fee is $60 which includes 5 films, 2 meals and 1 kick ass shirt as well as a goody bag, movie trivia and prizes. That is the early bird rate and it is good until July 1st. After that it goes to $65. It will cost you $70 at the door.
Thats all for now. I am told we should have another poster design up for next weeks post so stay tuned. Have a great weekend!
