The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #27 - Dendrophilia

12.23.09

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 Approx. 38 miles this week
- few stops, short stops
- but we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light
- victory donuts!

This week:

Dendrophilia


Or, "O Tannenbaum Chicka Wah Wah"

Is it possible to be seduced by a tree? In this day and age, with the Suicide Girls and Realdolls and Craigslist
casual encounters, it hardly seems like something as prosaic as a tree could capture a man's attention. But
1883 was a simpler time. They didn't even have the party line yet ( target="_blank">or did they?). Okay, sure, it was still practically the Wild West back then and the place
was probably lousy with brothels, but if Deadwood has taught us anything, it is that Wild West prostitutes
were petri dishes of diseases (hey, it wasn't their fault; they were just doing their jobs). So trees were a safer
avocation. The worst thing you might catch from one of them is a little root rot....

What was I talking about?

This week's ride. Right. This week we head up to Altadena to traverse href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Tree_Lane" target="_blank">the street that John P. Woodbury's
arboreal ardor built
. It is a special holiday ride, so there is a special holiday length to it: nearly twice as
long as normal. No, we're not going to get back "on time" but we're not going to care, because it's the
holidays, dammit, and we're going to get all kinds of holy all over town.
