April’s Art Show/Spoken Art Ride April 11

April 11, 2009
6:30 pmto11:30 pm

ceci011Saturday Night spoken art ride is upon us. Meet at the flag pole at York and Figueroa at 6:30pm leave at 7pm. The usual mayhem. Last months ride was like taking a trip on the Willy Wonka boat ride, no drugs needed. The best art ride in the city.
The artist featured this month is Cecilia Marmol. We are going back to painting. She paints scenery and scene and recently was about to show at MOCA but they backed out for lack of funds but we won out because now we get to show her work before she becomes world famous. The party and reception is at 10pm when we get back from the art ride and on until 12to 1ish. Pinata and kiddie bikes and black bean enchiladas.

If you’d like to join us, bring your bike, a smile and a good waing arm - as you’ll be showing off your trusty bicycle to the rest of the neighborhood.

We’ll have some oranges and water on hand - you’ll probably need some sunscreen (and maybe a tall boy or two for after the parade).

Any aspring contenders for the Ms./Mr. Bike Oven 2008 position should arrive appropriately dressed - we’ll have an innertube sash made up for you and a royal rickshaw you will be ridden around in (we’re accepting applications for rickshaw wallahs also).
