Halloween Critical Mass Bike Ride & After party
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

Surfing bike sites I came across Time’s Up’s website, the local promoter of Critical Mass. Critical Masses are city wide bike rides that meet once a month in cities around the world. In New York City they meet at 7pm, Union Square North every last Friday of the month, but this month is a little special, it’s a Halloween ride + a dance party afterwards! Wear your creepy costume and come ride! (vision impairing masks not recommended) Remember as their website state: “we [bicyclist] aren’t blocking traffic, We *are* traffic.” — Also For a list of Critical Mass events in your city, check Mike Bluejay’s Critical Mass Directory website, listing locations from Japan to Mexico.

That’s all… for now!

Just yesterday a friend of mine unhide his ping-pong table so we could play a couple of games. How he hid it in the first place is a mystery. With the weather being so unpredictable it was a good call to play indoors. He won most games, but I’ve got to admit I hardly broke a sweat. Later that day I came across an email from Dimmak Records promoting Rockstar Games’ Table Tennis tournament here in New York City. I had heard about these huge basement table tennis parlors in Chinatown and figured they went that route and then I remembered… Rockstar Games usually don’t involve any physical effort besides thumb twiddling a-la-shadow-thumbs.

Apparently Rockstar Games have been hosting these semi-private PR tournaments since the start of this month leading upto the day of the release, May 23rd.
