The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #172 - Survive
10.31.12
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:
- inconvenient passageways
- oblique strategies
- Oulipian constraints
- disorientation
- reorientation
- "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- amateurish enthusiasm
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- karaoke
- geocaching
- full moon picnics
- traffic median tea parties
- rivers that no longer exist
- smell tourism
- Couchwick v2.0
Furthermore:
- usually 20-35 miles
- usually some hills
- a medium pace (probably not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- few stops, short stops
- but we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light
- victory donuts!

This week:
Survive
Do not go upstairs. Do not go in the cellar. Do not answer the phone. Do not split up.
Do not leave the main road. Do not go into the woods. Do not use a ouija board to
contact the spirit realm. Do not talk to any dolls. Do not ask, "Who's there?" Do not
say you'll be right back. Do not go anywhere near the lake. Do not enter anything that
has been abandoned. Do not go to the graveyard to party. Do not perform the
demon-raising ceremony "just for fun." Do not go to any camps nor any buildings
built upon native burial grounds. Do not go back for your pets. Do not go back for
your kids. Do not investigate the strange light. Do not investigate the strange sound.
Do not turn off the lights. Do not make a sound.
This week we follow SOME of these rules for staying alive.
(The question has been raised as to whether this ride will be "costume-friendly."
The answer is probably no more or less than any of our typical rides. There will be
some hills and off-roading; possibly a short hike. It all depends on where we must
go to hide.)
