The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time - How the Other Half Live
08.12.09
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.
It's a WEDNESDAY NIGHT bike ride.
Started by user nathansnider and user theroyalacademy.
It meets every Wednesday at 8:30pm at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
We'll endeavor to return before the last red line trains (around midnight).
On this bike ride, you might expect:
- full moon picnics
- inconvenient passageways
- "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- amateurish enthusiasm
- disorientation
- reorientation
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- dance parties
- karaoke
- geocaching
- oblique strategies
- Oulipian constraints
- traffic median tea parties
- rivers that no longer exist
- smell tourism
- Couchwick v2.0
Furthermore:
- a medium pace (probably not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- approx. 20 miles
- few stops, short stops
- but we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light
- victory donuts!

This week:
How the Other Half Live
You're really nobody in L.A. unless you live in a house with a really big door. And so we ride in search of doors, big doors, really really stupidly huge doors, doors that beckon us even as they refuse us entry. Or, if not doors, then fences. Or, better yet, hedges. And bamboo! So pretty, bamboo, and yet it still keeps the riff raff out. So tired of all that riff and all that raff, aren't you? Wear your best pearls or your top hat or your monocle. Spats would not be inappropriate. This is a white tie event. High. Class.
