His word is Bond - email blast from the book of Andrew 4:23... almost 4:20

If you remember last year's epically worded blog post from Andrew, then you will remember how much you laughed your ass off. Well, he's done it again AND he designed our PHRESH (and so much so it had to start with a Ph) poster for the 8th Annual.

So without further adieu:

OMG! Jim James, Michael Franti AND Henri Rollings!!!!

PSYCHE ALL YOU LOVELY [HETERO and HETERO-CURIOUS] LADIES SPECIFICALLY! JUST PLAYIN'!

What's real though? The fucking Tracksuit Invitational 2 thousand and fucking 14. Saturday May 3rd. High Dive. Fremont. What.

I know what you're thinking: "That Andrew, he's SO clever and FRAGRANT." Well, I'm just a soldier in Michelle's army and I need you all to strap the suits on and get wide with me May 3rd at the High Dive in Fremont. 

The fundraiser portion is legit, my thoughtful half-masted eyes will be legit, the music will be on hip-hop, and the raffle prizes will be board-sports-related and seriously generous. Like...oh I can't say. But ack like you know! Dj Bamboo is s-s-s-ick. All killer, minus filler. 

This year the pub crawl component is back in full effect. And weed is hella legal. Just sayin'. Walk straight. Master your high. 

Lookin' at you in a cocoa 'n taupe stance,

We have Rules. And you should probably read them.

Yes, we have rules. We've made some changes to this event over the years...but not the rules. 

1. You MUST be wearing a track SUIT. A full track SUIT. Leisure suits that are velour are acceptable. We will not accept track tops and jeans or track pants and a lame t-shirt. In the past, we have accepted Member's Only Jackets; it is not preferred, but it has been accepted. We will not even acknowledge your existence if you show up dressed inappropriately. If you choose to not wear a track suit, you CAN wear a giant banana costume or some other food costume.



2. You MUST listen to the whistle and timer guy. We have one every year. He keeps the time and keeps us moving. He is NOT responsible for you. If you get lost, it's your own damn fault. If you lose the group, too bad for you. If you can't find the group, then you are stupid and should just go home.



3. You MUST act responsibly. We are back in Fremont this year and we want you to be respectful. We have gotten in trouble in Fremont before and this year we are getting lucky and some of these bars are extending us some pretty sweet drink specials. Don't be an asshole, tip your bartender, and no chest bumpin' the bouncers because they will kill you. And of course, we ask everyone not to drink and drive.



These are the basic rules. We don't ask for much AND - this is a public event, bring ALL of your friends. But if they are jerks, leave them at home.

 Seriously. 

**There is an exception to Rule #1 this year. If you are only attending the party at the High Dive, we will allow...regular clothes. If you are coming in regular clothes, do know that you might feel left out and quite a bit less comfortable than those wearing tracksuits - just so you know.

***And there is an second exception to Rule #1 due to Cinco de Mayo activities. Sombreros and ponchos will be allowed in addition to your tracksuit or on it's own. We won't even make fun of you.

You are cordially invited to suit up for the 8th Annual Tracksuit Invitational and Buck Cancer Benefit

It’s about to go down and you know that you have to be in on it when it does. Put May 3^rd down on the calendar as the best f*#king day of your 2014, or maybe your whole GD life. It is the 8^th Annual Tracksuit Invitational and Buck Cancer Benefit brought to you by the fine folks of We Love Tracksuit and You Do Too... AND we are back in Fremont this year!

For those of you that are not in the know, this event is the most ridiculous, fantastic, and life-changing event of the spring and it is all done in a Tracksuit. We are asking you to suit up in your best Adidas, Puma, Fila, and vintage velour and hit the town, group up, pub-crawl, and end your evening with a 90’s, Golden Era Hip-Hop style dance party. Get your dang cardboard ready, polish those up rocks and body pops, and bring your most positive attitude because we are celebrating and supporting people in need. And frankly, everyone feels better when they are doing something radical for another person.

This year’s line up includes Skratch Lounge creator (http://skratchloungenw.com/), golden era hip-hop lovin’ DJ Bamboo. He will flash your ass back directly to 1995, rum and coke in hand, and droppin’ it like it’s hot. And don’t you pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about.  To hear what Bamboo is all about visit: http://www.mixcrate.com/djbamboo

He can also be found on the 1^st and 3^rd Fridays at 95 Slide, spinning Golden Era hip-hop, just in case you can’t wait until May.

And when I said that we will be celebrating and supporting, we will be doing just that. We will be celebrating the fact that our infamous whistle and time guy, Joel Mitchell has given a big F.U. to cancer and that he will be celebrating with us this year healthy and cancer free. At the same time, we will be supporting my friend Megan Buck. She is currently in treatment for Large B Cell, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. She is staying positive and kicking ass but needs our support, love and prayers…in a tracksuit. So let’s get together for her and for her super cool husband, Spencer and raise some love, support, and money to help her and her family through this difficult time.
