we are heading down and around the south! (technically I think we have been south of the Mason-Dixon line for a few days but this is more proper south.
Its a lot of extra miles but maybe you can help us connect some more dots!
Bike Smut 7: The Porny Express - RICHMOND, VA
Thursday, Nov 14
Movie Loft
just east of 3rd and Grace
https://www.facebook.com/events/619096158154605/
During our brief stay in New York our team got to take in some Hardcourt Bike Polo, a show at our new friends at The Living Theater and a bit of THE REVOLUTION. We loved swinging our mallets, our genitalia and meeting the people who might bring forth the political change that could produce a higher quality of life for the other 99%.
But for now we press on, for the Orgasm Trail is long and hard and must be ridden!
So tonight we recharge in Baltimore home to a variety of exciting debauched characters.
Tomorrow we press on to Richmond, VA, which besides hosting a variety of exciting moments in bikesexual history, was also a hotbed of revolutionary action:
what can we say, rocking with one of the worlds craziest tall bike freaks has worn us out something fierce. Thank much to our generous host, Michael Fucking Mooney.
Speaking of absurd mutations, expect about a thousand of the krunkest bike punks to descend on Richmond, VA for what could be the east coast's longest continually running annual festival of crazy bicycle shit.
Cycleslaughterama is this weekend, Bike Porn Friday night at the Byrd.
Richmond, VA (RVA) is a pretty amazing place. You have a blend of Art students honing the craft at the highly toted Virgina Commonwealth University, the shadow of the Confederacy in the form of massive statues of General Lee and Stonewall Jackson, the depression of the 80s grinding development to a halt, and tons of fun loving bikers enjoying the cheap rent.
Development and gentrification have come to the Oregon Hill neighborhood of RVA, which two years ago was a verifiable bicycle ghetto, with all sorts of characters drinking on the tightly spaced porches basking in the sun.
Some things have changed, but there is still one bike club in town inspiring others from across the east to rally and display their pride. Bike clubs in Dayton, NYC, Atlanta, Chicago and more all represented .
Portland, Oregon's Zoobomb came, saw, and dropped the competition like it drops its pants. Zoobomb took the only prize for the team oriented competition. Placing in every event except the 6 pack relay (we are only a little embarrassed about this). Solid performances the entire day capped off by a strange award party and news broadcast about the awesomness that has just ended. Conveniently enough their massive 6-ft trophy for 1st place was designed(?) to collapse into a medium sized bag. Im sure the Dropout Bike Club from Portland will take the challenge of reconstructing it without trying to blend steel and aluminum
Here is video of the final bout, a chariot race. Sounds simple right? Right?
right...
We want to thank all the great hosts, and we hope to get kicked out of more parties again someday.
Here is a link with lots of videos. http://www.truveo.com/tag/slaughterama
And now the tour rolls on to Chapel Hill! If the hundreds that turned out in Richmond screaming for more bike porn are any sign of the future the south is more ready for sexy bike culture than many concerned parties realize.
Monday March 31st, 2008 St. Anthony Hall 207 Pittsboro St. Chapel Hill, NC 8 pm
Come on out and enjoy the sexy bike action tonight!
Please, someone give us a car for 3 weeks to promote bikes. It makes perfect sense and it will be cheaper and more fuel efficient than buying us a bunch of plane tickets.
