Pups and Mushers,

We've had numerous e-mails and myspace comments this week telling us that Saturday ranked among peoples favorite all-time days in Los Angeles. When we first decided to put on an Urban Iditarod in Los Angeles we hoped that 50 of our crazy friends would show up in costumes. We were totally in awe when more than 150 participants came out with amazing costumes, fantastic sleds and memorable race antics. The race went off without a hitch and put smiles on the faces of many residents and tourists in Marina Del Rey, Venice Beach and Santa Monica.

At the bottom of this email you'll find links to 1000s of photographs from the event. We think Colin (the mulleted photographer) has some of the best and you can order prints directly from him. We've also updated the myspace pictures and blogs so check out: http://www.myspace.com/urbaniditarodla

The Cookie Party Team has invited all Iditeroders to a party at their house on this Saturday night (it's at 3922 Big Oak Drive, Studio City, CA 91604, e-mail Ashley for more info - ashleycurchin@yahoo.com)

There are also requests for a official daytime after party / reunion on Saturday, March 24rd. Send us an e-mail if you want more info or want to help organize it. (urbaniditarodla@gmail.com)

We were happy to meet such a great crew of people and we look forward to more zany events in the future.

Cheers,

Beta Dogs
