Seg This Way

2E's and I have been thinking for some time that we would ride off on a Capri blue, Vespa LX 150 Scooter after our reception. Here are our Top 5 reasons:

1. We've nixed the car idea. We attended a wedding where the groomsmen had filled the car with balloons -- both front and back seats -- and it didn't work out. There was a lot of popping. A lot of latex. A lot of pain.
2. Rollerblading down Dumbo's cobblestone streets might not work either. 
3. Walking seems wrong. 
4. Scooter rental is cheaper than we expected. 
   
5. Riding a Vespa across the Brooklyn Bridge might be the closest I come to being cool.

But wait a moment -- what about the Segway? 

We've seen Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak riding his in our LA neighborhood ... we've even test-driven a pair at the Epcot Center in Orlando without causing serious injuries.

True, it's not at all vintage, doesn't come in Capri blue and would appear TOTALLY out of place -- but how cool would it be? And how cool would WE be?!
