Wild Zero Pedalpalooza Ride

Pin It Now!

Hello, crafters.
On Saturday evening, myself and some friends hosted a bike-in movie/Pedalpalooza ride.  For those of you who have never heard of Pedalpalooza, it's a nonstop 3 week bicycle festival in Portland, Oregon.  By nonstop I mean there are at least 10 rides to choose from every day for 3 weeks.  It's a lot of fun.

The movie we showed was Wild Zero, which is Guitar Wolf's action packed zombie/alien killing spectacular.  If you have never heard of either Guitar Wolf or Wild Zero, just Google it.
In the movie, Wild Zero, there are a lot of flames ejecting from tail pipes of motorcycles and cars and microphones; yes, the movie is that cool.  For the ride we encouraged people to dress like Guitar Wolf, which meant a lot of leather, shades, just a general Rock N' Roll look.

To get into the spirit of things I decided to add some tail pipes and flames to my already very decorated bicycle.  I think it looks pretty tough.  The flames are made out of Mylar and the tail pipes are some items that I picked up at SCRAP.  I have no idea what they are.

Rock N' Roll!!!

Hott Sock 2011 Pedalpalooza Ride

Pin It Now!

So one more sweet ride that I would like to share.  I went on the Hott Sock ride because I do love fun socks.

We rode to Sock Dreams where we played fun sock games and everyone stocked up on some cool socks.  If you have never experienced Sock Dreams, check out their website.  They have free shipping to anywhere in the U.S., I believe, and they have an unbelievable selection of socks.
So then we rode to Sock It To Me, another great Portland sock company.  They had a pretty sweet obstacle course, but the thing that made the ride for me was they had a craft table where you could make any kind of sock puppet with their unmatched socks.
I made Jacques le Sock.  Check it out.

This fellow, whose name I do not know, made an awesome unicorn sock puppet.

And my friend Dan, otherwise know as Captain Clash, made some sweet arm warmers with leftover socks.

Pin It Now! Hello, ya'll.
Here are the photos of myself, Jane and Sarah at the art bike parade, all decked out in petticoats and banners and horseys for our bicycles :)

We had a great time despite a little drizzle.  Everyone looked amazing.  We were even interviewed by a Korean Education Broadcast Station!   Good times ~
