Alright, you know we have a prize for the Triple B (Billy Brown Benefit) next weekend...

From Bill himself, a Bagaboo bags sling bag. Bill copped this before his accident and doubts he'll want a sling on his back again after this one. Yes, it comes with the swag in the picture.

We will see you next Saturday at Eckhart and on the south side. Rubber side down, come get you a new bag filled with posi vibes. by @martpigeons

Billy for a long time has been integral in the proliferation of alley cat races and the messenger scene at large, as well as a huge proponent of bike culture and supporting couriers. He got struck by a car and broke his collar bone recently, rendering him unable to ride and deliver. Let's help this righteous dude out while also having a sick party and reconvening the CCC peeps!

Sat 7/25
Alley cat race:
At Eckhart Park

Show and party!
Ask a punk (Bridgeport)

Music by Messengers!

Why is @caperez23 holding the T?

Time to get cutty?
Time to catch a skitch?
Time for him to come in second again?

Coke find out tonight because CashCat is back y'all!

Roll up to the alley TONIGHT at 5:30 and give us your dough.
$10 to enter. This time it's winner takes all.

Are you ready? Because this manifest is looking short and spicy.
