This weekend some rad folks threw a clandestine box truck party at a secret location. Everyone made really cool environments in their box trucks. Laura and Robyn made a campfire box truck and I presented some of the stories that Todd Chandler and I collected and edited with audio selects from the inimitable Annea Lockwood.

Check out her sound map of the Hudson River: http://www.lovely.com/titles/cd2081.html

You can hear some more of the stories we recorded while floating with the Miss Rockaway Armada in 2006 and 2007 down the Mississippi River here: http://thebirdinmyheart.com/2009/01/storyboat/

Here’s a video of Miss Rosa Sparks’ story at the event. Very dark!

In the Subway, Moving Theater, in More Ways Than One

The longest-running theatrical production in New York — it runs from Brooklyn to Manhattan — premiered on Thursday night to rave reviews in subway stations around the city.

Proving that all the world’s a moving stage, a 30-member cast and crew spent a whirlwind winter’s night performing before captive audiences aboard subway trains that served as the combined setting for “IRT: A Tragedy in Three Stations.”READ ON

“Fresh, moving, important…Muriel Rukeyser wrote, ‘If one woman told the truth about her life, the world would split open.’ [This film] gives us 10 truth-telling women, and splits the world open in as many ways.”
Katha Pollitt
The Nation

Underneath the din of politicians posturing about “life” and “choice” and beyond the shouted slogans about murder and rights, there are real stories of real women who have had abortions. Each year in the US, 1.3 million abortions occur, but the topic is still so stigmatized it’s never discussed in polite company.

Powerful, poignant, and fiercely honest, I HAD AN ABORTION tackles this taboo, featuring 10 women – including famed feminist Gloria Steinem – who candidly describe experiences spanning seven decades, from the years before Roe v. Wade to the present day. Filmmakers Jennifer Baumgardner and Gillian Aldrich insightfully document how changing societal pressures have affected women’s choices and experiences.

SO! Yesterday was my birthday. Tianna had a potlatching party and Arielle and Adina made a yummy pie cobbler thing and sang happy bday. Bobby Dangerously helped me move boxes all day into storage (a dreadful task I spent three days on) and gave me a ride to the party. I met new people! Rory gave me a ride to the Q train. A potlatching party is like a swap. Because I was moving stuff all day I had two goodwill bags ready to go so I just brought them to the party. Pictured above is Bobby wearing a seagreen shirt that Ellery found for me on the Mississippi river. AND! Jeremy helped me get the boots I really wanted with a discount AND Porter gave me new snowboarding pants for my bday! I am a lucky goose.

Below is some modeling of the jammies shirt by Nana gave me a few years ago and the sarong I’d used for a dance class in college:

FRIDAY MEMORIAL FUNDRAISER FOR CRAIG

Tonight was the memorial for Craig. It was really wonderful. People told stories about him and played a song he loved (Heartbeats). I’m feeling like a wreck these days knowing how senseless Craig’s death was. It’s so sad to lose a friend and to know that he was lost because cycling is so dangerous here. Craig is one of the few men I know who work on anti-violence against women issues by starting SafeWalk with RightRides and who work tirelessly on anti-hunger efforts. It’s never fair when someone dies, but this is just so heartbreaking. Please come celebrate his life at this fundraiser on Friday. All the proceeds will go to the wonderful organization he worked for and cared deeply about. Also, if you’d like to help prevent future cyclist deaths, transportation alternatives works hard to make the city’s bike infrastucture better, and you can learn more about them here.

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.

Amazing Crank/Chainring

Doyle, Conrad, Porkchop & co showed up all super bloody. Was awesome.

Wild dude.

Hangy sculpture thing.

> The wackest thing in the room.

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!

AWWWWWWW.

Where Have You Been?

Stories about travel and far-away places. New Yorkers go all over the world but the city has a way of swallowing their homecomings. Orbit the earth and your friends just ask if you missed the pizza.

This homespun live talk show offers a chance for travelers to tell stories, to bring the world home and share it with the rest of us — travelers as well as those of us who don’t get out much.

Tonight features interviews with three intrepids: Ethnobotanist Nat Bletter on researching the psychoactive properties of chocolate in Peru, Amy Elizabeth on sustainable tourism in Tibet, and Todd Chandler on a grueling cross-country Greyhound cruise. Interviews by Jeff Stark. Gorgeous slideshows tightly edited and mercifully short.

MY CRAIGSLIST PLEA FOR BOAT

Looking for a cheap boat for an amazing project - $1

Reply to: sale-292462723@craigslist.org
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
