Save the date for Rubber Side Down.

Remember Vin and Greg? Good because they’re coming to my town next month—well, one of them for sure—in addition to the crew that made everything else happen.

If you live in the San Francisco bay area you’re getting plenty of fair warning to save the date—Thursday, July 23, 2009—for the U.S. film premiere of Rubber Side Down at the Clif Bar Theater in Berkeley. There will be music from Clif’s own The Dung Beetles, great beer, food, prizes, etc.

Rubber Side Down is the story of two amateur Canadian cyclists who pedaled over 4900 miles from Victoria, BC, to St. John's, Newfoundland, in an effort to shed light on Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis -- tragic bowel diseases that are in dire need of a voice. Experience a film that depicts the vastness of Canada, the hilarious mishaps of two young lads, and a struggle that unites us.
