(photo courtesy Mike Bolger – check out his blog & pix here) Saturday Night was our first FlashDance since the mega-over-the-top madness of the special Michael Jackson Memorial FlashDance.

Woooot! The SF Bay Guardian Loves Trikeasaurus!
If you know much about SF, you know that the SF Bay Guardian matters. It is the local-scene and left-wing-politics weekly and I love it. Every year they do a “Best of The Bay” issue wherein they give the low down on what’s what in my beloved Yay Area… So, … Continue reading

A Parting Gift from Michael Jackson: The Best FlashDance Ever
UPDATED 1/16/10: I just came across the best video of the night yet (better than mine below) and a great video from the ride itself… see updates at the bottom. Four or five news vans, 200 (300?) people, a musical bike ride through the city, sing-a-longs, moments of silence and … Continue reading

FD20 Copless & Happy
After the po-po frustrations of FD19, I decided to try to get over the bad taste in my mouth by just hitting it again. The very NEXT weekend! (click the image to see all the pix) It worked! FD20 was another excellent time. I think it was a little smaller … Continue reading

Dear SF Po-Po, why do you keep trying to put the SMACKDOWN on me? I am just trying to use my powers for AWESOME. Really. So Saturday night’s FlashDance 19 was just kicking into STUPENDOUS-FUN gear and suddenly 6-8 cops showed up and put a SMACKDOWN on us. One was … Continue reading
