Baltimore Bikes! Bands! Burritos! Brunch?
So this is going to be the 3rd year that I book this show in baltimore called Bikes bands burritos. We are adding a a brunch component to it. The burritos were someone else's idea and I find them to be a pain in the ass and messy and would rather do breakfast foods but people got all bent out of shape about "changing the tradition" so I caved.
anyway.
it's in baltimore. SUnday May 6. One day after the kinetic sculpture race.
@ the charm city art space
and the velocipede bike project.
at noon we eat. bring some food.
from noon to 2:30 there are bike workshops. In the past, they were all maintenance oriented, this year they deal with bike fit, tips on buying a used bike, commuting, city riding etc. This is geared toward novice cyclists. Ideas pending for a workshop for more regular riders (maybe just another ride?)
2:30 there is a 10 mile ride. casual pace. this ride is for everyone. in the past we have done 16-20 milers and they were a little too fast/long for some of the people who came because they were just getting started. We want to keep it casual and something that everyone can do. maybe if you have a significant other or friend that wants to start riding more????
when we get back (no time assigned because I really want to make this part of the ride. the last 2 years it has been like 2 separate events) there is a show. At least one person from each band is going on the ride.
Here's teh bands:
speedo kill: a one-show fun band made up of 4 dudes and 1 lady doing bikini kill covers.
bryan dunaway: a punk kid playing the acoustic guitar. not folk punk so much as punk on an acoustic guitar.
strange days: fast hardcore band.
wax and wane: lo-fi smooth and mellow. never know what you're going to get. maybe a rhodes piano, maybe a violin, maybe a full out rock band with drums and electric ****.
the degenerettes: all girl garage glam band songs like "I was a teeny bopper for the CIA" awesome!
the event will be held at the charm city art space in baltimore 1729 N Maryland Avenue AND the velocipede bike project (just around the corner) it's a benefit for velocipede (bike collective). anyone who does the ride gets in the show for real cheap or free (I haven't decided yet).
Charm city art space is a no-drinking no-smoking establishment but there is a really awesome gay bar next door that serves GIANT shots.
if you're interested, drop me a line. flyers coming soon.
anyway.

not a ton of people, but a good time.
we watched "pure sweet hell" in my attempt to get everyone and their mother to race cross with me this year.
ate some food.
the ride was good, Here's the route:

the rock and roll was good. Wax and Wane had to cancel though.
I missed the kinetic sculpture race this year. I raced in it the last 2 years. damn friends in NYC having babies messing up my kinetic sculpture race career.
