yay~ the food truck/cart movement!

This event featuring work created by artists and projected onto the sides of some of the cities’ tallest buildings will take place on the evenings of May 14th and 15th.  Artists Shepard Fairey, Saber,Risk, Eddie Colla, Sage Vaughn, Lydia Emily, Van Arno, D Young V, Paul Barron, FilthGrime, and Hugh Leeman among others will see their work displayed on the largest of scales.  

A powerful mobile projection system will cast giant images in a number of locations. Followers will be alerted to each location via twitter notifications however the spontaneous impact on unsuspecting pedestrian and motor traffic will be the primary aim of the event.  A format that brings art directly to the people in a spectacular new way will make this a truly exciting event. This format, the 2nd of 3 showings including Los Angeles San Francisco and New York, allows the artist to use the entire city as the gallery and certainly more people will have an opportunity to view cutting edge work.

The event is being sponsored by The Karma Underground who, besides bringing a new format for local artists to display their work, is also attempting to bring wider attention to human rights violations in Tibet.

just missed this yesterday and the night before (14.&15.05.12) and since I’m not in the East Bay anyway. 

On Second Friday, normally you’d Bike Party then get ready for bed. This Friday, get ready to reverse that as it’s a Bike Party PAJAMA PARTY!

Whether it’s footie pajamas, Snuggies, lingerie or whatever you feel is appropriate for bedtime, break it out and get ready to hit the Port of Oakland with us and celebrate TWO AMAZING YEARS of Bike Party!

The route has already been established, so we don’t need any test riders — giving you more time to work on your costume! This month we’ll start at Lake Merritt BART Station (7:30 gather/8:00 roll out), enjoy the always Bike Party-friendly Port of Oakland and wrap up with a Bike Party PARTY at the Parkway Lounge, complete with New Belgium drink specials. Ding ding!

EBBP.

gonna remind my mom to go tonight! :)
