The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #213 - Big Block of Cheese Day
08.28.13
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),
but often it is not possible.
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:
Big Block of Cheese Day
According to the reliable historical document that is the West Wing,
"Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House had a big block
of cheese.... The block of cheese was huge -- over two tons. And it
was there for any and all who might be hungry.... Jackson wanted the
White House to belong to the people, so from time to time, he opened
his doors to those who wished an audience."
This week, bring your questions, suggestions, comments, and complaints
and we'll bring the usual hills, off-roading (and/or hiking), and whatnot.
Corner us before/after/when stopped and we'll do our best to answer
questions/field complaints/stammer uncomfortably/etc. Haven't 100%
mapped out the route yet, so can't give a firm mileage, but 20-25 is a safe
estimate. Not particularly long.
Sorry, if you want to actually EAT some cheese, it's BYOC.

The changing of landscapes
from one hour to the next
will result in complete disorientation....
