The Idiotarod
is coming, and tomorrow teams will freeze as they push their carts through the city streets... if it doesn't all fall apart before then. About an hour ago we received an email from organizers Corporation X which alluded to some people having suspicions about the validity of their ownership of the race—which they took over from Danger Zone. They claim Danger Zone (pictured) have been intercepting emails and causing havoc.
Anyway, if you register, you'll get the starting point from Corporation X and all the details you need. They included two warnings in their latest correspondence: 1) you can't throw food this year, and 2) do not listen to anything you hear in the press. So, we suppose you should stop reading this now.
One team is hopeful that the race will go down as planned tomorrow and recently told the NY Post of their cart theme, explaining: “We’re going to speak in silly British accents and move in chess characters. The knight can only move in L shapes. Our costumes are amazing. We’re going to get into fights with each other discussing about moves.” Right. So, um, if you see any of these shenanigans going down, send us your photos!
