Soap Gallery tonight hosts an opening reception for a new portrait show featuring a bunch of work by a bunch of artists, chief among them this Bea Arthur by Veronica de Jesus.

See it in person tonight from 6-9pm. There will also be live music (not Andrew Gold though) and probably refreshments.

Sexpigeon knows what they’re up to.

I just got back from a couple weeks in Berlin. Berlin is fuuun! And one of the best parts is biking. They’ve got super-cute bikes (above), super-cute biking infrastructure (below), lots of epic stuff to bike to, and a citywide laid-back attitude that just makes everything more enjoyable.

Tons more nice pictures I took after the jump:

Is Santa Rosa’s latest piece of public art a stunning monument to cycling, or a waste of a shit-ton of perfectly good bike parts?

Inhabitat has lots more pictures right about here.

UPDATE: It is a stunning monument to cycling built with unusable bike parts.

Myles Cooper‘s latest music video is epic. Epic in a more modest way than his last one (the unforgettable Gonna Find Boyfriends Today), but epic nonetheless. Just look at that outfit!

Watch “Lord Love Music” here.

When I was little I used to pretend hobo vomit was hot lava, but Jenn here takes it to the next level. Maybe we can come up with a similar game for hoes on Capp Street or bros on Valencia on Saturday night.

Hopefully they’ll still look like this for Halloween.

It was a dark and stormy afternoon, so not many riders showed up. But a handful of die-hards did, and the sun started peeking through the gloom, so we had a pleasant ride around town. SLC has a ton of new bike lanes, some good vegetarian food, is close to a lot of natural wonder, and has a neat-looking temple.

[T]his is the second Sunday visit in a row where I’ve encountered a group of off-brand bros, their lady friends, their dogs, and their beers. [link]

The migration has started! Glen Canyon Park is also cool because it has miles of hiking trails, occasional Jonathan Richman sightings, and coyotes running wild.
