The Very Last Crank Mob

Yes, apparently this was the very last LA Crank Mob but my very first. It was more adventure than I am used to for sure. 5Xs the distance I've ever biked. Police escorts. Helicopter fly overs.  Warehouse dance parties. Mosh pits...ha. Getting hit in the head by someone's drink...that's when I put on the helmet for the night. Chanting.


 The sheer number of people that were participating was one of the most impressive parts of the whole night. Going through tunnels turned us all into howler monkeys. My favorite part of the night was the last warehouse we went to around 3:30am where the DJ was spinnin dem jamz. Actually, my favorite part of the night was getting home. I felt a great sense of accomplishment mixed with what people coming back from battle feel like. 







In total, about 35-40 miles. I'm having trouble walkin.


We started at 9PM. Got Home at 5am.


What happened in the middle was a bunch of stuff like this.
These are all other people's pictures, but I assure you they are very accurate.

3 Must See Documentaries



One I just finished, one I'm almost done, and one I am unbelievably desirous to see.
Confessions of a Superhero might be the top 5 documentaries I've ever seen. I finished it last night and you can watch it for free on hulu. It is very worth your time. It follows four super heros of Hollywood Boulevard...Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, & Hulk. These four characters (on the street and off) could each have their own movie. They are so fascinating you won't believe their stories are real....and maybe they aren't. It seems that the life of a fake superhero gets a little convoluted and sometimes their character's personalities get a little mixed up into their own until they really can't tell who is who. Please watch this film.



Second is The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. I'm almost done with this one, and those the concept seems simple....The story of a group of wild parrots living in San Francisco, there's so much more to it from their eccentric caretaker, to the theories of how they even got there, to the very interesting facts founds and observations made through years of living together in the same city as these birds. This is a must see as well.



Lastly, I can't wait to watch Please Vote For Me. There's a bit of controversy as to if this is China's very first elementary school Monitor's Election (some claiming they've done one before), but, nevertheless, the ruthless tactics, dirty politics, and interesting insights into the human desire for power makes me just wanna stream it on Netflix asap...once I get wireless internet again since my brother took the router with him to his apartment. Nice.
