Welcome to this years Messmann's Messquerade ’09. You are invited to a halloween night to remember (hopefully) at the Messquerade Halloween Bicycle Scavenger Hunt, a night of scary and awesome costumes of bizarre bikery on Saturday October 31st. This year’s costume bicycle scavenger hunt will consist of teams of at least 2 to 6 people or so then register your team on the registration page! If YOU haven't got a team together, you might assemble one with others in your loneliness or join another one, someone might want you! Just come to the start and mingle.
The Messquerade will be benefitting Bike Polo for KIDS! In conjunction with BikeWorks and Seattle Bike Polo and Seattl Parks Dept, SBP have been working in the community to aquire a permanent bike polo court so Kids interested in polo can come play as well as the big kids. I will have some bikes to raffle for this. 2 rollo bikes and a zombie bike. Raffle tickets are 3 for 5$, 15 for $10. Thanks.
Registration for the Scavenger Hunt STARTS AT 20/20 CYCLE @ 20th and Union from 6pm til 8pm. I'm excited that Halloween is on a Saturday this year.
Show up for registration early to get one this year’s limited edition Hoodie. I am limited number of Hoodies of all sizes, (except XS). $30 with Hoodie; $20 without. Includes beer/water/soda & gets you into the afterparty all night long. Teams will sign in and enjoy some refreshing ale before the hunt starts. Bring your old waterbottles down for this as I will be suppling some as well. I will be selling hoodies @ the afterparty if there is some left.
Your team will have to scavenger all over the city for clues and hints to find the answers to the correct scavenger questions from the Manifesto of the Dead, so have your wits about you. There will be a points system on the Manifesto this year. Highest points back by 10pm will be the winner and gets first grabs a prizes. Make your manifesto readable.

At the Finish Line, your team will get your pictures taken and then it will be projected on the wall with special effects. Thats the plan. Aswell as bobbing for apples & airplane bottles. Each team will compete for the pumpkin toss! So do your one arm pushups!
