2013 DETAILS

Romp in tha Swamp, April 14th, 2013

The Parlor Tattoo
4603 East Broadway
North Little Rock, Arkansas

  Departure a little after 10am on April 14th. to ride down through Scott, England, and Coy.
Pit stop in Coy at Ken Fisher's before coming back to North Little Rock. This ride will last a few hours, not counting stops. I will have a LIMITED amount of shirts ($15), patches ($2), and koozies ($3) for sale, so bring some cash!
  Many of us are camping out the night before, April 13th, and if you would like to do so as well, bring your own bed roll, tent, etc. If you want drinks, bring your own as well. Will have a few jam/garage bands playing that night.
  This is just a low-jack ride for anyone who wants to join. Not a show. Not a swap meet. It is not a benefit, because the cause I was going for has never been respondent, and it is too late to partner with someone else at this point.
  There is an open group on Facebook you can join, appropriately name Romp in tha Swamp. If you have Instagram, we have it as well, @rompinthaswamp. If you come and snap some good pics, hashtag us, #rompinthaswamp.


I look forward to seeing you all there!

Outlaw Biker!

Thanks Outlaw Biker magazine for publishing our ride info!
That means a lot! Any help is great.

ON A FEW SEPARATE NOTES:
To all attendees or viewers, this past few months has been very hectic for me, and I've had a few family emergencies, etc. that have hindered my attentiveness to Romp. This event has been very word of mouth, and it's cool that it's so low-key, but this will help me estimate for next year what a typical attendance will be for the future. Last year, I did not get a very good idea, considering it was a holiday weekend.

I am going to try to have shirts and patches for everyone this year. As soon as I know a price, I'll post. As I said, it is too late to find another charity to partner with before the date of the ride, but next year, I will be more interested in finding a charity closer to home. Suggestions are VERY welcome! I would love for it to go toward children with cancer/cancer research.

For those who would like to volunteer for next year, I really can't be depended on to organize this alone for such reasons that have held me back even this year. It would be great to have a few guys to donate some time to either advertising, design, photography, VIDEO WOULD BE GREAT!, whatever you can do to help for next year would be a weight off my shoulders.

If any of you attending next month, if you have a GoPro or other digital video, photo, etc. that could be posted here or on YouTube, etc. please let me know. If any of you have software to make a good, simple, tidy video of this year that you could compile from everyone's photos/videos, please email me:
brandon.kemp@hotmail.com

As far as bands, performers, vendors that have emailed me:
I am not looking for any of these. This is not a swap meet or anything like that. It's strictly a ride and hanging out, camp-out the night before, etc.
Thank you for your interest! Maybe in the future, if this continues to grow and is more than just a grassroots type of event (and especially if it ever gets a more organized leader! haha), we may have interest.

Thanks,
