=== Build Party at FT's, Aug 21===
 
Don 'Father Time' Crabtree had a build party for the Recliner races.
 
Food was very abundant, but SEVA folks were not. ( unfortunately )  There was Father Time, Steve Lough , Ryan Fulcher, and Dave Barden.  Enough folks to get some quality EV Building going, but not enough to eat all the chicken, baked beans, potato salad, brownies, etc.  Below are some pictures of the Progress:

Also other transportation folks will have booths too.
 
 
Kendra Williams (kendrawb -at- namshub.org), the Tabling Coordinator said:
 
We would be delighted to have an electric vehicle or two on display at the Rolling Thunder Festival. If you just want park the vehicles we will try and find a space either at the front gate parking lot or along the access road inside the festival. If you plan on sticking by the cars and talking to people, you may want to bring a canopy or some sun protection. I will be at the front gate checking in tablers. You can ask for me.
 
 
Directions:
 
Driving North on Sand Point Way NE, take the NE 74th St entrance into Magnuson Park and look for the signs.  We will be on the playfield just about a block into the park, on the right.
 
 
Other Information for Tablers:
 
* Tablers are expected to provide their own tables, chairs, display setup and other needed items.  Electricity will not be available.
 
* Tablers should arrive between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.  Official start time for the festival is noon.
 
* Tabling will end at 5 p.m. with tear down no later than 9 p.m.

Steves [http://www.seattleeva.org/maillist/?show=2005./8./37 Post] on the EVent:
 
 
First I want to give a BIG THANK YOU  to Mark, of MC Electric for
 
spending his whole Saturday in the HOT SUN with me.  It would have been
 
quite an EV disaster with out him and his blue canopy, for all I had
 
brought was a small picnic table umbrella.  The vehicle he brought, a
 
green mini-Hummer Look-Alike  NEV, was quite a HIT with the folks too.
 
I dreamed up the phrase, " This Hummer really HUMMMMMMSS.... "
 
 
I thought the general public turn out was shy for all the effort and
 
some 2 dozen booths, and displays which everyone put into the event.
 
 
Ed Bagley Jr. was very gracious.  (SEE OUR PICTURE ) and I was able to
 
give him a quick run down of what SEVA had been doing the last 25 years.
 
 
His speech before the whole gathering was on sustainable simplicity,
 
and...  " If you can not afford to do a complete solar house, or buy an
 
Electric Car, at least do what you can afford.  Pick the low hanging
 
fruit.  Buy some compact fluorescent bulbs.  Ride the Bus, buy a
 
bicycle..  Don't give UP.  Progress is being made.  There are 4 times
 
more cars in LA county than 20 years ago, yet Ozone emissions are HALF"
 
Of course he spoke very highly of Electric Vehicles over and over again.
 
I am going to try and find his e-mail address so we can keep in contact.

Want to Add a New EVent!       It is easy to do!       Click the [show] link to the right >>
Want to create a new EVent! First click "Current Events" at the top of any events page. Once there, just click on any of the dates in the "wiki calendar" below to begin creating a new page! Start the page with (Just copy it now and paste it when you create your page):
{{EVents}}[[Category:EVents]]
== Short Name for EVent ==
Your event details and description text goes here.

Next simply add whatever details and links you like to the page. Use the Show preview to see what you have created and finally click Save page and you are done. You and anyone else can edit the page later to add more details. The new EVent page you help create can grow more detailed, after the event photos can be added or accounts of how the event went. All of this will be archived for future generations to see what kind of amazing fun we have had, heck go check out some past EVent pages now (Tip: Click on any pages edit link to see how easy they are to create).

Need more advanced editing tips?                         Click the [show] link to the right >>

If there are more than one event on a given day, then make the == Header == at the top of the page include a short description of both events so that they will both appear in the summary for that day. Then create two or more === Sub Headers === (Notice the 3 = signs instead of 2) for each separate event on that day.

{{EVents}}[[Category:EVents]]
== First EVent & Another EVent Also ==
=== First EVent ===
First Event details and description text goes here.
===Another EVent Also===
Details for the another event also go right here.

You can also add ==== Sub Sub Headers ==== for an event if there is a lot of information for that event, perhaps someone might want to add a ==== Photos ==== section. The simplest way to add photos is to upload them to the site (you may need to ask for an account to do this). Take a look at the Photos page for a list of EVents that had photos added.

Then just list them in a gallery block.

Additional [[Category:]] tags can be added to the top of the page, we do not use many categories at the moment, but they help to organize pages and help visitors find related pages. For example there might be a Tesla Category and any event with a Tesla at it could have the Tesla category.

John Lussmyer has also invited folks back to his Digs on Whidbey for Fence building. John also brought a sample of his "Low Battery monitoring module" It can scan up to 10 batteries, and lets you know by sound and/or blinking lights, when a battery ( or cell ) has fallen below your pre-set threshold. Pretty Cool, and only $25 bucks. The Fence seems to be an ongoing project, not sure which weekend it will be finished?
