The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time: Extra-Terrestrial Edition
06.30.09
"One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there."
It's a bike ride.
And a bike ride is many things. Among these many things, you may discover the following:
-full moon picnics
-inconvenient passageways
-"cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
-disorientation
-reorientation
-pool halls
-karaoke
-geocaching
-traffic median tea parties
-rivers that no longer exist
-bowling alleys
-smell tourism
-Couchwick v2.0

This week, we will be enthusiastically covering Midnight Ridazz #13 - E.T., The Ride.
We meet at 8:30pm at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
Metro riders, we will do our best to return you to your spaceship in time for you to return to your home planet (that is to say, by midnight).
Yes, this is really the name of the ride. Early drafts of the name sent out for review were returned with large quantities of red ink describing the text as "geeky," "awkward" and "sprawling," with calls for "more action words!!!" and frequent admonitions to "show; don't tell!!!" One reviewer simply crossed out all the words and wrote: "The hacienda must be built." We feel that these criticisms are themselves quite perfect descriptions of the ride, and so the name will remain.
Add your own red ink here.
