The last time I did it was 3 years ago and I’m glad I decided to start it up again. Aside from a few mishaps (a guy trying to run over people corking, a guy barging through a bunch of bikers and almost hitting me and a guy throwing buckets of water out his window at bikers) it was a great success. There are always a few assholes out there (bikers and drivers alike) but it’s fun to roll through a neighborhood and see all the people waving and smiling. I can’t wait to do it again next month.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/882383023http://balltillifall.com/post/882383023Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:44:00 -0500chicagocritical mass<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6edhchycy1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://balltillifall.com/post/882004626http://balltillifall.com/post/882004626Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:00:53 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6ebj0iiSN1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>DJ mid-Critical Mass.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/881860833http://balltillifall.com/post/881860833Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:18:40 -0500<p><em>The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar</em> Wao by Junot Diaz. <a href="http://klurr.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Claire</a> is organizing the next one, so follow her for details.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/881358787http://balltillifall.com/post/881358787Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:52:41 -0500<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6dzpywohM1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://balltillifall.com/post/880972027http://balltillifall.com/post/880972027Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:03:40 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6dqn4sH4a1qz5otxo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Thanks to everyone who came to Book Club last night.

They have good coffee and they carry Bleeding Heart cupcakes and Nice Cream. My only complaints are that there really isn’t enough seating and the music was barely audible. There is nothing more awkward than a quiet coffee shop.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/871527575http://balltillifall.com/post/871527575Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:56:22 -0500<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z9PzSNy3xj0&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z9PzSNy3xj0&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>This is one of my favorite monologues in a movie ever.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/871272599http://balltillifall.com/post/871272599Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:38:35 -0500Synecdoche, New York<p>Hey everyone, don’t forget that <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/meetup/1088" target="_blank">bookclub</a> is tomorrow night.
