Naked Bike Rides and TV Shoots

It's Pedalpalooza! Promotion of alternative transportation, sustainability and bike awareness. Saturday marked a joyous occasion of fun filled bike events. The one that we attended: the Annual Naked Bike Race, I also jogged a quick block earlier with some clothed bikers. The important thing to focus on is alternative transportation. The naked part, though highly entertaining was for the awareness part. Please be weary and share the road! There were so many partial "costumes" and such. The only thing that everyone was concerned about was why we were still wearing clothes. Apparently people participating for their own cause don't always understand the concept, hello I took the bus and I'm walking with you. Aside from some other awkward encounters, the night was very successful. KW, LA and I were even able to enjoy a lovely 40 block stroll home, through the sketchy SE, over the grated bridge and through the wanna be gang asking for directions. Thank you Portland for reminding me that it's still the city.

Our Sunday was successful for Chef Passionista (a classmate). Some friends from class and I helped her film a segment for her TV audition tape for the future O Network. Her focus is improving couples relationships through the joys of cooking. Her concept is great and I wish her the best of luck in the competition for her own show. Hopefully by tomorrow the clip will be edited and I can post the link for you to vote! As awkward as filming was, it was still a lot of fun!

This week marks our final week in our first session and this will all hopefully end with a gold star for me to pin to my coat. All of our tests have been pushed up which actually may be a good thing. Our final black box plates are due on Wednesday...so it's off to do some more studying.

Tip for the Day: You won't always get a police escort while you ride naked but remember to enjoy the little things in life. Also, black pepper can be your enemy and white pepper is ok to use. Don't over season, but don't under season, you must find a balance in the force.
