So I went to the B.R.I.N.G. Earth Day birthday party.

Arcimoto was there. I talked to Eric Fritz, the marketing lead. They are currently anticipating a run of 100 production models by the end of the year, so in first quarter 2018 I should be able to take delivery on the one I've reserved. They are currently in discussion with local banks and credit unions about financing plans.

I need to start a semi-painful savings program now.

We did talk about how I think they should get Randy Grub to do a Deco-pod body kit and take it to SEMA. I'd road-trip for that.

I didn't have a camera with me today, but here's a picture from a year ago.
