The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #34 - I Saw the Sign, Part 1
02.17.10
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
A little different this week:
- an easy pace
- about 15 miles
- no hills
- many stops, short stops
- but we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light
- victory donuts!
Look: we now have a web site.

This week:
I Saw the Sign (and it opened up my eyes):
A Typographic Tour of L.A., from A to Z
Calling all MIdnight Designerdzz! This week we finally get educational, letting
the alphabet lead us through the city, learning a little bit about the typefaces,
the letters, the signs, the sites. Somewhat like RideArc, but the lectures will be
shorter and the donuts at the end will be sweeter. This week is part one, A–M.
To accommodate riders of all abilities, there will be less speed and less distance
(approx. 15 miles) than usual. So long as everyone comes with a bike in good
working order, no one should have any trouble keeping up.

Do this Don't do that Can't you read the signs?
Certain shifting angles,
certain receding perspectives.
