I applied to a $1000 small business grant in September on a bit of a whim. It was for existing businesses or to help start a new company. Ideally the money would be going to not only help the business, but help others in the process. This is where the Moth Attack Team comes in. The money would be going toward a frame or two as well as help get some jerseys going (and skinsuits, yay track racing!). Specifically, I really want to get my friend Matt on a frame for The Adventure Corps Rough Riders Rally that may also turn into a bike for some other plans he has in mind that I don’t want to talk about before he does. If anyone will beat the hell out of a bike and ride it on epic adventures, it is definitely Matt.

I made it in to the original top 40 out of 1000 or so (as did another bikey company!) and then made the top 5 out of 40. Being down to the top 5 is already awesome in itself, but I might as well take it all the way, right? They are choosing the grant winner by popular vote. You have to register your email so there aren’t several votes from the same address over the voting period. It’s actually really simple, and they are nice enough to not spam you for registering to help folks like me out.

The voting page is here: Idea Cafe grant voting!
It will redirect you to register or sign-in if you aren’t already. If you sign-in using that link and it doesn’t seem to register the vote, use the link above again and it should take you straight to the voting page. They don’t tell you who’s got what number or percentage of the vote though, so pass it around! Voting closes December 9th!

Also! I have some of these No Sweat shirts left in Men’s Medium, Large and one XXL. I also have one Women’s Small. I’m going to place another order from Alternative Apparel on some different colors as soon as they are gone though so I don’t have a couple dozen shirts laying around. I’ll ship them for $17 with paypal, or in person for $15 if we can meet-up easily. Shoot me an email if you want one! mothattack@gmail.com
