Bike In Movie
Location: Valley Pond or Amphtheatre (come back for details)
A bike in movie is like a drive in movie, except that cars are totally fucking lame. So you ride a bike (or walk I guess). You're probably going to want to sit on the ground during the actual movie, unless you're super hardcore.
Next you're probably asking, "why would you choose the movie, Over the Hedge, to show at an event like this?"
Well, there are two good reasons, that anyone who isn't a total jive turkey would have picked up on right away.
1. Over the Hedge is a scathing critique of modern post industrial decentralized suburban consumer culture and the harmfull and disruptive effects that it has on local ecosystems and overall biodiversity.
2. It's got cute cartoon animals!
So come on out and hang with us. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that there'll be some popcorn. If you don't have a bike, please come anyway. Heck, you can ride on my luggage rack.
