BEST PARTY OF LIFE EVER
Tag Archive for 'freakbikes'
Bike Film Fest Art Show was rad, mostly. See pics below, or skip straight to the wackest thing in the room. I am giving it the wackest thing in the room prize.
Whoa.
Doyle, Conrad, Porkchop & co showed up all super bloody. Was awesome.
The Fray.
The Antlerbike Craze that’s sweeping the nation has led to poaching.
Wild dude.
Hangy sculpture thing.
And now I talk I talk some shit about the wackest thing in the room. This girls on bikes project has been featured at the last 2 BFF’s. Can we talk about how dumb this shit is? I really like the fellow who did this project. He’s a nice guy. Still, would you look at this crap? Someone had the brilliant idea of putting up a sign next to this which said ‘bikes are objects, women are not,’ though you wouldn’t know it from the confusion this project produces. With its sultry subjects, the women pictured in most of these images could be in any crap women’s magazine. Way to push the status quo. I think this project ought to be scrapped. It reminds me of the last onion that came out with the brilliant article “Women now empowered by everything a woman does” I know that SOMEONE who will go unmentioned claimed, insultingly, that this project was a way to include women in the festival. That’s like saying the oiled up babes at car shows are a way to include women in the fun of the car show. Rad. Go feminist car shows!

NOTE: Seems like a great idea — a protest that doesn’t look anything
like a protest.

Date: 2007-03-12, 12:04AM CDTI’m a member of the Mississippi River’s Miss Rockaway Armada. You might have met us when we came to Minneapolis, Red Wing, Winona, LaCrosse, Prairie Du Chien, Dubuque, Clinton and all the cities along the river before Andalusia, Ill. last year. We’re a huge raft made of all kinds of scrap materials, including 2 diesel engines from Volkswagen rabbits, converted to run biodiesel with longtail props attached. It’s a kind of arts troupe. We come to town and do a show and hold workshops during the day and do face painting for kids and play music. This year we’re interested in building a few satellite rafts and being more of an armada. I’d like to find or buy a cheap 16′-22′ (approx) boat with a working motor and then convert it to run on bike power by building a bike power apparatus to drop into the water over the transom and then and likely building out some pontoons behind the transom to even the weight and attach the motor to.I wonder if you might have an inexpensive boat with a working motor that might sound good for this project. We have very little money but a lot of heart and if you have a boat in your midst that might sound like a good base for this kooky idea we’d be grateful.Check out our website to see pictures: http://www.missrockaway.org, more pictures here: http://www.everydayilive.com/armada
