The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #22 - Nobody drinks tap water in Paris
11.18.09
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.
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:
Nobody drinks tap water in Paris
Bonjour, mes amis! I'm back from Europe and I am going to take you on a tour. Yes, tonight we lay the Paris map on top of our own fine city and find out what the L.A. Eiffel Tower is, the L.A. Pompidou, the L.A. Montmartre. Cheese and bread would not be entirely inappropriate.

Zut alors! Mon pantalons!
Situate yourself.
