Wednesday night is the official new beginning of summer weekends — so come spend the next one at the Streetsblog L.A. Re-Launch Party and Fundraiser with me!

When: Wed., Aug. 25 from 7 pm to 11:30 pm
Where: 11555 National Blvd., Los Angeles
Cost: $20 suggested donation — but don’t let lack of funds keep you away if you plan to bid on the silent auction items!

There’ll be food, there’ll be drinks, and there’ll be local celebs. You’ll get to meet L.A. River kayaker Joe Linton, Without a Car in the World photographer Diane Meyer, and Move L.A.‘s Denny Zane. And of course, all the green transportation bloggerati will be there — Be a Green Commuter‘s Sirinya Tritipeskul, Bikeside LA‘s Alex Thompson and Stephen Box, BikingInLA — and of course Damien Newton of Streetsblog LA and myself.

Plus, you’ll get a chance to bid on really great silent auction items — that could help you go car-lite or car-free, or make your already car-free life a lot easier — like:

>> Only keep a car around for emergencies? Win LAXCarShare’s “Start Car-Sharing Today!” pack and you can share a car for a fraction of the price.

>> Always out of change for the Bus? Win the 30-Day Big Blue Bus pass and ride hassle free for the next month.

>> Feet hurt from walking to work in heels? Win Kigo Shoes that’ll keep your feet comfy then fold away into your purse.

>> Feel like the only person at Critical Mass without some bike-related T-shirt? Pick from one of the 6 bike-friendly T-shirts that’ll be auctioned away.

Browse the full list of auction items here and come ready to place your bids! RSVPs on the party’s Facebook page are encouraged, though not required. Hope to see you soon –
