FRIDAY MARCH 9, 2012 Midnight Ridazz will be hosting it's 99th Ride monthly ride. They Live will be an outdoor, bicycle-based, mobile, multi-media festival.

Ridazz from around the city will gather en masse, get maps, and take off in groups to find a series of public presentations that will be happening throughout the greater DTLA area, including a series of timed convergences for larger group experiences.
We are primarily seeking works inspired by They Live (and/or themes represented in the movie) to be presented in the many public spaces in or surrounding Downtown Los Angeles. New and original work will receive primary consideration.
