Kona 2011 – Slowtwitch party
Truman Capote had his white party that drew the cream of New York glitterati in 1966. Slowtwitch threw its gala Kona party for the cream of the forum contributors and lurkers. Plus quite a few industry folks were present to enjoy the annual gathering.
A huge thanks to Cytomax for hosting the event, and a big thank you to blueseventy for the beer and Endurance Conspiracy for the food. Great raffle items were provided by Quarq, LeMond, Scott Sports, Zipp, blueseventy, Specialized, Oakley, SaltStick, 110% Play Harder, Coffees of Hawaii, TorHans, Fizik, TriBikeTransport, Zoot, Cobb Cycling and Cytomax.
Since the party was full of farflung folks who in many cases were meeting one another for the first time, feel free to ID the folks in the pictures!
