Not so fast, there. Run Camp WILL be at Gazelle's March 24

Morning sun beats down on cars left at Shakespeare's


Run Camp Organizers went into special session early Sunday morning and abandoned plans to move next week's Run Camp from Gazelle Sports to Shakespeare's Pub.

"You could tell a lot of campers were in favor of the switch," said Bryon Bierema, "but in the end, it just wasn't practical."

Camp organizers were called about 4:30 a.m. Sunday by Blaine Lam, who works next door to Shakespeare's and who had gone into work to check on the office ice-making machine, a normal Sunday morning ritual for him. "My God, the pub was empty and there were 150 cars in the parking lot," said Lam, who had seen a study that shows that people who drink green beer and/or Irish whisky tend to forget where their cars are.

"I figured if they didn't find their cars by next Saturday, our plans to move Run Camp from Gazelle's to Shakespeare's would pose a major logistics problem."

So, the March 24 experience will begin on the Kalamazoo Mall at 8 a.m., at the new Gazelle (DON'T go to the old Walgreens.).
