CivLAvia 12.7.14

The last of the year, and running a new route in south LA. It’s a rather short one, and I do believe I’ve been near where one of the hubs will be, when the shuttle was heading to the science center 2 years ago. This one should be nice out, since it is winter, but then again, this is LA so it can be about 80 degrees during the day. Yes, that does happen here for those of you that aren’t from the area. Now I doubt this will happen, but lets just hope it isn’t raining that day as it has been for the last few days.

Also, I’m hoping I get more photos this time, as I feel I was lacking from the last one in October. Lets just see what happens.

Thank you MeatCat

So I’ve been watching 30 Rock and, it’s really funny because so many things that can go wrong do on that show. I just started on Season 4 of the show and the first episode on it was called itself, Season 4, and it started off with some of the cast in this restaurant eating something called “Cheesy Blasters” and mentions something called MeatCat who flies on a skateboard. I decided to draw that and if it comes up well enough when traced on the computer (hopefully, better then this seen now) and if Tina Fey is cool with it (I have my ways) I’ll make it a shirt.

CicLAVia 6.23.13

Took me longer to post then I thought. So the day started off getting there later then I had originally planned but I made it anyways so all good, and Like the last CicLAvia in april I skated 22 miles. I started off on where Wilshire started in Downtown along Grand and rode to the other end near the Tar Pits where I hung out with another friend who spotted me and hung out for a while. After a while he mentioned that he was hungry and I went with him to find some food and we ended up riding over to San Vicente and just turned back to find something for him along the main route for the event. Ended up finding a Johnny Rockets and left him there because I wanted to get more photos in which I didn’t have much at the time.

Then I started riding back to where I had started and at one point near MacArthur Park I heard some guy playing some instrument, turned around and said he was also playing it while riding his bike. Start skating backwards and taking photos of him and hit another persons bike and fell. Yeah, me of all people, falling, that doesn’t make sense but it happened. I was fine to no surprise because I know how to safely fall with minimal injury. As I finished up my journey back to Downtown I started to notice my wrist was hurting. Don’t think I hit it on anything but was harsh. After hanging around downtown for a while I then headed back to the Fairfax end of the route and made it before the streets opened up again. Stayed for another while longer and let my feet relax because my blades have never been kind to my feet. I need a new pair but an upgrade to what I have would cost at least $250 US but not sure if I should get a new pair of Hockey Blades like I have now or Speed Skates.

Last I went take the bus back to the Red Line and the Metro App on my iPad wasn’t telling me the times on when it would be there so I skated up the street some and saw a bus coming, jumped on and made it back home. Now other stuff that happened, Like always there where venders selling stuff but I noticed a lack people people handing stuff out as a promotion, but there were churches in Koreatown handing out water bottles. I like Korean Christians, I really do, they are often so pleasant. Over all, I didn’t get as many photos as I would of liked but they came out nicely anyways. Oh, and there was a car that accidentally got on the route, but had help getting out at least.

Can’t wait for the next on in October.

The Strange People you Encounter

So here is the story. I was with my friend, seen here in this photo at the Fabric District in Downtown and something I did was pull out my iPad and started playing the song “Long Live The Misanthrope” from the band Soilwork and she sits on her longboard and asks if I can push her. I figured why not, strange enough to be funny.

So we reach this one intersection and some homeless dude stops up and asks what we are doing. I reply “why do you care?” and says well she’s black and you’re white. “so? we’re being funny and weird, we do that.” And to think, thats not my strangest encounter with a homeless person.

CicLAvia 4.21.13

Meant to make this before, but then again I don’t know of much on how to work with it because I can only put so much info on it. form the event page on Facebook.

Sun, surf, and 15 miles of open road will mark the first CicLAvia of 2013, transforming Venice Boulevard and downtown Los Angeles streets into a car-free, linear park for strolling, biking, playing, and exploring the city from a new perspective.Since it began in 2010, CicLAvia has quickly become Los Angeles County’s most popular public event, consistently attracting more than 100,000 participants.

CicLAvia 10.7.12 Photos

So, that was a lot of fun, went down on my blades, took a bunch of photos, talked to people, and got free stuff. For example I got a button and a bag for We Want Streetcar which is a campaign could be the return of street cars here, or at least in Downtown. The guys I saw during the stair claim at the bank tower with the Amazon Coconut Water were there. One of them saw me and remembered my name along with the fact I posted on here that I gave a buddy of mine the bottle that was given to me before, so I didn’t have a chance to try it. So he gave me two of them and I downed one of them right there. I thought it was good. The other one is also now gone. Also got a flyer from a Derby Doll for a coming match, Fight Crew and Varsity Brawlers. I was at a game awhile back, it was a little strange but interesting and I really liked the environment. And I loved the names they have for the teams and the players. Personally I wouldn’t mind seeing another game, but I much prefer if it was cheaper and if it would be cool if they would let me bring my camera in because I would get some good shots.

But yes, I had a very long ride I did hitting up all the hubs. here is what it looked like.

Eighteen point six miles… I did well. Didn’t like that it was a little warmer then I expected but I made due.

But next time, I’m wearing shorts.
