March 27, 2008 — Things are falling into place for the 2008 On Any Sunday Reunion, celebrating Bruce Brown's classic 1971 movie.

We've got a ton of people coming: Bruce Brown, Malcolm Smith (of course), Mert Lawwill, Dave Aldana, Jim Rice, Jim Odom, Gene Romero, Don Emde, Sonny Burres, Don Castro, Walt Fulton, John Hately, Keith Mashburn, Eddie Mulder, Jody Nicholas, Chuck Palmgren, Alan Seymour (producer), Don Shoemaker (cameraman/film editor), Carol Kaye (musician), Sally Stevens (singer), Skip Van Leeuewen, Dave Evans (Out of Sight wheelie), Jim Lomas (learning to ride), John McGowen (dog on tank) and even mini-bike rider Jeff Ward!
Some well-known motorcycle people will also be coming, including Broc Glover, stunt woman Debbie Evans, Debbie's husband trials rider Lane Leavitt, desert racers A.C. Bakken and Mitch Mayes, speedway great Eddie Castro, J.T. Racings John and Rita Gregory, Todd Huffman from the Motocross Files, famous painter and supermoto guy Troy Lee, former 250 MX champ Gunner Lindstrom, Honda Racing’s Bruce Ogilvie (many-time winner Baja 500/1000), multi-talented Larry Roeseler, Tom Webb (editor Dirt Bike magazine), Jody Weisel (ditor MX Action) and many, many, more.
We'll have a great Moto-Expo with some very unique bikes on hand, including some of the actual race bikes from the movie and two very interesting speedway bikes (Maely). Also, if you have a bike or two you'd like to bring and display, please reply by email to me and I'll make arrangements.
There will also be an autograph session for everyone to get their hero's signature on a special On Any Sunday Reunion T-shirt or poster.
Then at 7:15 p.m, we move inside the larges theater in the West, the Big 6 Theater with it's huge 75' screen. Pre-movie stuff including final auction bids on some very collectible items, including a painting of Steve McQueen by Troy Lee, some autographed prints from famous motorcycle artist Harry Miller, some original OAS B&W prints from Don Emde and more. Then the movie in all it's glory at 8:00 p.m. Afterward, we'll introduce the stars and the people from the movie and you'll get a chance to ask questions and take pictures of the entire gang!
