It’s been one hell of a Junuary here in Portland but the weather for the 21st looks promising. More sun showing than clouds at least. So let’s get together and travel down The Dandy’s memory lane by bike. Last year was a total hoot and we’ve made some lasting friendships with some of the folks we met on that ride. I’m expecting this year’s to be bigger and better! So get on your bikes and ride!
As posted by the bike ride organizers:
WHAT: Dandy Warhols Bike Ride and Karaoke
WHEN: June 21, 5:30 p.m.
WHERE: Ladd’s Addition Traffic Circle (SE 16th and SE Harrison)
I heard from Sarah’s friend Jo Ryan that there was a Dandy Warhols bike ride as one of the events for “Pedalpalooza“. It was listed in the paper saying it was going to a tour of the important locations in the history of the band around the city of Portland. Zia and I went and there was a great turn out and we cruised around in a giant mob blasting the Dandys on a boom box that was attached to the tour guides bicycle. We went to the WTTMH studio, to Slabtown, the Rock Dorm, the Oddy, a bar called “Plan B” to watch some Dandy videos, (including ‘Plan A‘ – get it?) to the X-ray Cafe, and some locations around town where some of the Dandy music videos were shot. We finished up at pretty much my favorite bar in town, the Red Fox on Albina for beers. Zia and I tried out a ‘tall’ bike. Pretty scary ! An absolutely perfect night.
