I recently caught wind of this event from my friend the organizer, Crystal. Obviously since it’s an event surrounding the oil spill, there’s a big emphasis placed on walking and biking there. Bikers get a free beer and some other doors prizes. I’m pretty excited to see the aerial fabric artists, those broads are tough! -Caitlin
