I first met David on the internet, via FaceBook, when he contacted me and asked that I promote his project and motorcycle events, Hip Hop and Ride for the Cure, that would result in raising funds to support St. "The key to budget travel is to approach in front. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our mind. Arranging and spending our travel budget correctly is a priority for most families. Lowering consuming and expenses, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind protecting money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!..". Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN. I contacted him via telephone, and realized he had a grandiose plan and would need as much help as he could get. He told me that he believed in the children and in what could come from the biker community getting involved in their care. I continued to follow his project on FaceBook and tweeted and reposted as much as I could. Then yesterday, I made the 90 mile trip to West Monroe to participate in the bike show held at Hooter's. I pulled into the parking lot, and was immediately asked to enter Lacey in the show, which I declined. I opted, instead, to make a donation to the cause. I was next introduced to David and his family. He had involved his wife and children, and extended family in the project. With the help of several dedicated volunteers, they organized an impressive bike show and games. The wing eating contest consisted of eating five 9-1-1 wings and to win it one had to be the first to finish. They were having trouble getting volunteers to participate, and I tried to talk my husband into it; after all he likes hot, spicy food. But, he declined. So, the nice person I am, I entered the contest. I have no experience eating super hot wings, and really didn't know what to expect. I was going up against two men, and folks were cheering on the lone woman entered in the contest. As I sat at the table and they set the plate of hot wings in front of me, I could see the jalapeo seeds and wondered again what I had gotten myself into. The countdown began and I picked up a wing, and stripped the meat from it and took the first bite. The sauce was hot, but not as bad as I thought it would be I just kept eating without thinking about it, and to the cheers of the crowd around me, I surprised myself by finishing first place. I received a gift card and donated it back to the cause. We hung around a little while and watched some more games; the frozen t-shirt and the toilet paper roll on a plunger game. Finally, we bid goodbye and with directions in hand to the next event, we rolled out of Hooter's and rode to Rumor's Bar, just a little over four miles away.
At Rumor's we met Chilly Willy, the President of River CitiesLouisiana BACA (Biker's Against Child Abuse), and member, Opie. When we arrived the party was in full swing and the band was setting up. The smell of smoked chicken, baked beans and potato salad permeated the air, and plates were being sold for a small donation of just $5.00. Motorcycle clubs and groups all came together to raise money for a headstone for a fallen brother, Snoopy. Plenty of Shreveporter's were in attendance and the weather cooperated this day, as if Mother Nature were looking on with approval. I was introduced to several of the MC presidents and other club officers and given permission to take photographs. It was the first of many good riding days in the south where weather begins to break early and the cold winds are just a fading memory.
