I was checking out the RTD website and it said "Travelling Acts - All over the course - 11am-3pm Mad Parkour" What's this mean muse? Are we just gonna go around and pk up whatever we can wherever we can on the route? How are we going to get around as a collective? We're just gonna hoof it from spot to spot? I really suggest people bring bikes if they have them.

Keys:

We will start at Mo Terrace and will stay there as long as we can. I have a couple other spots along the route (not too far) picked out that we can go to if we need to. Part of this was because our location took a long time to establish this year. The P. Stones were a problem last year because our audience caused bottlenecks, so they wanted us in a different location. Finally we settled on "roving" the course, with a handful of spots picked out. I think MoTerrace will be fine for the better part of, or all of the day; but since they don't have a spot for us "officially" staked out (most other groups have a chalk outline on the sidewalk where their area is), then if we need to move for bike traffic/other groups we will just have to punt.

Sorry it's so vague--the organization was a little less "together" this year.

Looking forward to see you there!

Sounds good, I'll be sure to bring my b-game lol. Really though, I'm totally stoked. This should seriously rock.

I may actually have to participate in this.  I haven't done any parkour since moving down to Madison at the beginning of June, so maybe I can try not hurting myself :)
