It will be dark. you can also test ride your costumes you desire. does anyone have black eyeliner, eyelash extensions, and black lipstick I can borrow?

A Spatial History of Computing...by Bike
Friday, September 14, 2012 2:00 PM
Come join me as I (Nick Lally) lead a bike ride through Silicon Valley. We will look at the birth of computing and the internet, the history of LSD and hackers, traces of what used to be and what replaced it, metaphors of computing and the social spaces they emerged from, office parks and nature preserves, and the material infrastructures in the birthplace of personal computing.
The ride will be around 20-25 mostly flat miles at a slow pace with a lot of stops to look at things. There will be one beer/snack stop and a stop at the Computer History Museum. I will be printing up maps for riders and there will be some surprises! Then we'll roll into the opening of the ZERO1 Street Festival around 6 or 7pm.

Saturday, September 24, 2012 until September 30, 2012
On the last Friday of September, 1992, a group of San Franciscan cyclists showed up on Market Street for the first ever Critical Mass. This leaderless ride became a monthly “organized coincidence”, and in the years that followed, spread around the world. Celebrating a shared sense of rediscovering urban spaces, Critical Mass riders cross borders and find common cause to have a good time on foot-powered wheels. These uplifting rides also challenge the use of city streets and the domination of cars and oil in
our transportation system.
To mark the 20th Anniversary of the first Critical Mass ride, a group of enthusiasts has formed a Welcome Committee that is organizing a week-long celebration September 24-30, 2012. With great pleasure, we invite you to join us in San Francisco, California for our planned events, and we encourage you to get involved and/or create your own activities.
Dozens, hundreds, maybe a thousand friends from around the world will arrive here to help us commemorate this milestone. Friday the 28th is of course the big birthday, the Interstellar Critical Mass ride, which we hope will be a giant, crazy, awesome evening ending in a big party under warm skies.
