A velociraptor on a bicycle is like a chia seeds on chocolate or dogs in costumes…it just sorta makes sense. So, you should sorta join us for the “A veleciraptor on a bicycle” shape on Thursday March 28th from Ninkasi Brewery at 7:45pm. Thanks to Ninkasi for hosting us BikeInShaptors. And thanks to Iryna and Kirsten for the sorta marvelous design.
