About This Event
Pier to Pier jog/run. The pace is about a 16 minute mile, and it's 2.72 miles each way. Figure the whole event will take about 2 hours with a small break at the Venice pier and any photo ops.
THIS particular Monday, August 8th, we're meeting from 6:45 - 7:00 PM. We'll hit the sand at 7:00pm! If you're late, catch up.
From 6:45 - 7:00pm, meet in front of:
Bubba Gump Shrimp
301 Santa Monica Pier
Santa Monica, CA 90401-3126
Bring WATER, and zippered pockets or a backpack. Put your cell phones in zip lock baggies to keep the water out... trust me.
Liability: Running on the sand can potentially be a hazardous endeavor. You are responsible for your own safety, and by signing up for this event, agree not to hold this group, meetup, the organizers, Barney the Dinosaur and/or any sand crabs responsible.
Do NOT run into any sea weed. You may get tangled in there, and then have to wrestle yourself out infront of a bunch of tourists from Europe wearing sandals and socks, and end up in a Youtube video.
Do NOT run ontop of any glass. You may cut your feet, bleed, want to swim, and then get eaten by a great white shark.
Do NOT run into anyone running into you. This may double the impact force, causing you to lose a tooth, and thus bleed, which may result in a great white shark coming onto shore and eating you.
Do NOT be a knucklehead and run into the 6'6" tall guy we saw last time enjoying a sunset with his homegirl. This may lead to aforementioned "Tiny" crushing you with his thumb and forefinger, before tossing you into the ocean, and thus being eaten by a great white shark.
Mojito's famous Q & A section...
Q. Can I bring my dog?
A. Negatory! No dogs allowed anywhere near the beach.
Q. I don't have pockets, can I just give you my stuff to hold?
A. If you bring me a sandwich to hold, yes. I'll keep it in my stomach for safe keeping. It might take about 8 hours before you see it again, in which case, I don't think you'll want it back.
Q. I don't wanna "run" or "jog" so can I just walk, pick some flowers, stand around and talk on my cell phone?
A. If I wanted to "walk", I would just put on a little sundress, sing some show tunes, and stroll down colorado blvd like all the other nutcases. This event means business!!! A$$ shaken, booty quak'n, jogging & running from pier to pier!
Q. Why is this event at Santa Monica Pier?
A. Because twice a day, a little mermaid comes up on shore and talks to Gilligan, the Skipper and McHale's Navy. Oooo, if you pay close attention, you can even see a pirate ship with some crazy gold toothed guy talk in a Brittish accent, even though he was born in Kentucky. AND, if you pick up an abandoned conch shell, and put it to your ear, you will hear Marvin Gaye's greatest hits too!
Q. In the event a shark does bite my a$$, what should I do?
A. Bite it back! Ask me more stupid questions, and I'll make sure to throw you into a feeding frenzy!
The last person who tried to ask me a retarded question still walks lopsided... 3_|__)
Q. So are you getting paid to do this events?
A. You know, the sardines took up a collection for me. They know that after the sharks gobble up most of your a$$, there will be leftovers. WTF!!??? It's free to attend this thing! I'm just trying to get back into shape, and pass the time with fun people!
