Flyer for 2010 Chicago Critical Mass Bike To Work Every Day Rally, June 18th, 2010 in Delay Plaza

Kauno miesto kritinės masės skrajutė

Kaunas, Lithuania critical mass flyer. Edited by Saulius

May 2010 Derailleur "zine" - Single page, two sided, two folds, 8 panels of 5.5x4.75.
"Springtime Fun Nurturing Issue" includes "parking meter beautifiers" stickers, bike jokes, "Kidical Mass" blurb, Glencoe Botanic Gardens ride map, and World Naked Bike Ride Chicago flyer.

There should be a bike ride to pressure government to pass a comprehensive immigration reform in the year 2010. YES WE CAN!

I would like to celebrate Bicycle day, April 19th, a formidable day in consciousness and mind manifesting history!
For those who are not familiar, April 19th, 1943 is the first day that a human experienced LSD.

--
“On this day in 1943 Albert Hofmann performed the first self-experiment to determine the true effects of LSD. The bicycle ride home proved to Hofmann that he had indeed made a significant discovery of a mind manifesting substance with extraordinary potency.” Wiki

Here are a couple of informative links for those who would like to learn more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_LSD http://www.erowid.org/culture/characters/hofmann_albert/
--

My idea is simply to commemorate and celebrate both the day and LSD generally.
(which I will not go into praise of here; for those who have tried it, the experience speaks for itself.)

I think this day should be celebrated by psychonaughts, and consciousness seekers everywhere. The more cities participate the better! Take the fliers which I have attached, make them your own, and ride!
One is for posting up, the other for attaching in bike's hand breaks, use at your own convenience

There is no pressure to trip while riding, I do not plan to, but you can celebrate any way you'd like! :) (just stay safe)

Spread love, spread the word

Critical Mass Halloween MMIX "Ring of Fire" Map

a mass bike ride in support of the International Day of Climate Action, October 24 at noon, Daley Plaza, Chicago. Organized through 350.org, inspired by Critical Mass.

Flyer for CRUDE

CRUDE, the award-winning new documentary feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother’s Keeper, Paradise Lost, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster), is the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial, high stakes legal cases on the planet—a young Ecuadorean lawyer Pablo Fajardo, with the help of a Philadelphia law firm, takes on Chevron on behalf of 30,000 indigenous rainforest dwellers in the infamous $27 billion “Amazon Chernobyl” case. In his verité style, Berlinger explores this David vs. Goliath story by gathering together an ever more complex web of issues and cross-relationships, shedding light on the accepted dogma about the environmental movement, global politics, celebrity activism, human rights advocacy, the media, multinational corporate power, and the dilemma of rapidly-disappearing indigenous cultures. CRUDE takes nothing for granted and never takes it easy on the audience—it subverts the conventions of advocacy filmmaking as it examines a complicated situation from all angles while bringing an important story of environmental peril and human suffering into focus.
