Annual Office Chair Downhill Race
So, the title of this post pretty much explains what this event is all about. People race each other rolling down a hill in office chairs. Watch the video from last year:
This year I imagine people are going to be a little more creative with office chairs in the race. Last year everyone discovered that office chairs don't cruise down the hill as fast as expected. I would expect to see some bigger wheels on office chairs this year and perhaps some more custom-made creations.
The race is tomorrow, Friday, April 4, "after work whenever people start showing up." There might be a more specific time nailed down at this point but I am guessing people will start showing up around 5:30pm. The location is near the Pacific Science Center and Key Arena. I believe the starting point is on the corner of Warren and John. Here's a map, you'll find the race in the general vicinity of the starred location.
Things to prepare for if you plan on racing this year:

Things to prepare for if you plan on racing this year:
- Wear protective gear, you'll probably crash because everyone crashes.
- Bring your own office chair. If you have more to spare, bring those, too.
- Bring a camera, there will be many lovely photo opportunities.

This makes me think of when the fellas from Office Space beat the daylights out of the fax machine. It's like a quasi burning of the bras for cubicle workers.
