John Law has been a friend of mine for so many years I forget when we met. He’ s the guy that shows up and works. He’s an instigator of the best kind and keeps us all on our toes. Please make time to hear this wonderful man rant about what things used to be like and how soon life as we know it will come to an end.
The Space Between is a collection of three stories inspired by the author’s lifelong obsession with bridges. An avid urban adventurer and bridge historian, the author shares his passion for these engineering marvels while delving into their potential to fuel our dreams, fears, and nightmares. Part dreamscapes, part adventure tales, these narratives take the reader on an exploration of bridges to inspire their contemplation on a structural as well as metaphysical level.

We have been asked to bring out our Snail Art car the Golden Mean to the Factory Party this Friday. Remember to dress up, Zolie will only be letting the cool kids into the snail!
On March 6, step into the world of Andy Warhol and his original 1960s New York City Factory. The East Bay Express has teamed up with Amoeba Music and OFFSpace to turn an Emeryville warehouse upside down for a night of live art, film making, musical performances, and theatrical art forms.
A portion of this event features a re-creation of Andy Warhol’s Factory, including a screening of 13 Most Beautiful People… Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests (Plexifilm DVD, out 3/24) and live production of art in the style and process performed by Andy Warhol, including silk screening, filming, and painting. Other rooms will be curated by Amoeba Music and curatorial collective OFFSpace.
Velvet Underground Cover Bands will perform — Dress in your 1960s best!
Visitors are encouraged to bring a can of Campbell’s soup for the Alameda County Food Bank. Each can of soup donated will enter donors to win prizes.
Admission: Free Food and Beverage Sampling: $10 or $5 with valid student ID. Proceeds benefit Pro Arts.
Who would have thought he’d do it again (thanks Snook!) and would have thought it would be better! That was one of the best parties I’ve been too. Music was way too loud and they need a lot more junk to take out the empty tin sound of the place, but otherwise I had a great time. Us old guys are hard to please and I was.
Here’s my daughter Zolie and I in our matching overalls, and her new wings!
I got loaned some great photo toys (thanks) and here are the pictures I took with the gear:

Paul is an amazing bike artist. Here is a Make show featuring some of the great work he’s done over the years. This will be a fun party and a great way to help out one of our own!
WHAT:Cyclecide is throwing a benefit party for Paul to help with medical bills.
Bingo, houses made of meat wrecked by dogs in godzilla suits, ‘flu shots’, bean bag toss, we’ll have it all. No cover but donations at door and for beer and silly entertainment will be accepted.
WHEN: Saturday January 31st starting at 7pm and going until 11pm.
WHERE:984 Folsom St, Second Floor — the MonkeyBrains office space.
WHY: Paul ‘da Plumber’ had major surgery on his right wrist, has it in traction, and will be out of work and unable to use it for several months. Paul — as you probably know — builds amazing bike powered rides and sculptures, and all sorts of silly devices.
YOUR MONEY: You can send donations to cash@paulsrides.com via paypal.
One inch of the ulna was removed, ground up and packed into the small bones in the back of the hand to reinforce the hand. A permanent metal sheathe was put into the wrist about the size of a butter knife and attached to the bones of hands and wrist with 7 surprising large full size bolts. They did a bunch of other things to his wrist that will hopefully minimize the constant pain he has experienced for years. Post Op photos:
