How to celebrate Earth Day: Boycott the internet & #StopCISPA
Posted: April 22, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
I had other plans for an Earth Day post but instead, I am supporting the #StopCISPA Boycott.
If WordPress makes it possible, I will black out my site until Tuesday.
For now, this cat (which you can download and upload to facebook and twitter to explain your absence), video, and message from Anonymous will have to suffice.
What is CISPA?

Every election my son rolls, walks, or scooters with me to the polling place down the street and helps me cast my ballot. (Related: blog post about the post election party four years ago where kids weren't allowed.)
This year, because he has science club and I am teaching today, he wanted to get up at 6am and go with me to the polls at 7am.

Santa Barbara Cruiser Ride: SB to IV & Back
Posted: August 7, 2011 Filed under: Fun Rides, Uncategorized | Tags: Santa Barbara Cruiser Run, Santa Barbara Fiesta Ride 3 Comments »
Ever wanted to ride from Santa Barbara to IV? And back? With nearly 1000 other riders? Many of them drunk? And doing stunts?
If this sounds fun to you, today is your lucky day! Join the Santa Barbara Cruiser Run, around for some 20 years!
Meet: Noon Sunday August 7, Santa Barbara Pier
Ride the streets of Santa Barbara north through UCSB to Isla Vista and Goleta Beach and back in a giant pack.
Free! But probably not too family friendly…
NOTE: The traditional route has been fenced off to protect new plantings of natives AND the jumps have been leveled. It is still going to be one wild ride.
PS It’s Fiesta weekend in Santa Barbara AND it’s the first weekend of the Ventura County Fair. If you’re driving to the ride, expect traffic. If you stay late and drive home at night, there’s lots of construction on 101 and that will delay you. It took us nearly two hours to get home from the Thrusday ride in Santa Barbara.
Summer Solstice SantaCon & Seersucker Social ArtRide Tonight!
Posted: June 3, 2011 Filed under: ArtRide, First Friday ArtRide, Uncategorized | Tags: Seersucker Social Bicycle Ride to galleries Leave a comment »
Have you figured out what to wear to tonight’s Summer Solstice Seersucker Social & SantaCon ArtRide?
Here are some of the seersucker separates I found: from our closets–a Betsey Johnson dress I got at a thrift store many years ago (now too small and up for borrowing!), three pairs of shorts (one pair from Patagonia–they have lots of seersucker this season!), a coat I bought on sale for my son a few years ago for a summer wedding and other dressy occasions. Plus an organic white shirt from the Stewart + Brown warehouse sale yesterday.
And here’s a jacket and capris I found at the thrift store in size 6. While tempted, I left it there for someone else to find.
Still puzzled about what to wear to a Seersucker Social? Think white, think summer, think tennis and tea. Or go the Santa route!
The San Buenaventura ArtRiders Bicycle & Social Club welcomes you to join us no matter how you are dressed! Come celebrate the arrival of summer at our Seersucker Social and SantaCon for the next First Friday ArtRide June 3!
Meet 5:30pm
Ventura Beach Promenade, Artists Union Gallery & Aloha Bar
330 So California St Ventura 93001
Ride 6pm
We’ll ride around downtown and the Westside and visit art galleries & studios.
We usually end up at Art City 197 Dubbers St. around 8:30pm. We might even play some night time croquet.
Here’s the seersucker -3 flyer to download and distribute. Many thanks to Zanna for helping with this!

Tempe Tweed Ride 2/18
Posted: February 6, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
Tempe Bicycle Action Group will host its second Tweed Ride on Friday, Feb. 18. Riders of all types are invited to wear their favorite woolens – skirts, capes, and shawls for the ladies and tweed jackets, caps, and knickers for the gents – and to meet at the entrance to Tempe Beach Park, Mill Ave. & Rio Salado at 7:30 p.m. This nighttime ride will stop at a few public houses for food and pints. Tweed is the order of the day – it can be herringbone, twill or plain, plaid, or checkered. It’s a celebration of the Discovery Age of Cycling and an opportunity to show some sophistication and class. Tally Ho!
March 4 for a Leprechauns & Tweed Ride with The San Buenaventura ArtRiders Bicycle & Social Club! After party at Bell Arts 432 N. Ventura Ave. Ventura with beer, music and art celebrating women! Thanks always to Ventura’s Anacapa Brewery, located in downtown on Main near California!
