Cafe Nëgrø: Coming to you live next week!

Hey, Folks,

So, coming up real soon next week, Cafe Nëgrø will be our modest experiment in ephemeral cities,  ephemeral culture, and of course, lots of black coffee and black metal. We’ll be open with black metal hour from 1-2 pm monday through saturday, and monday through friday we’ll be open again from 9-10 pm with non-black-metal music (probably your more traditional electronic dance music, but we’ll see).

Come visit us at 3 o’clock and G street .

Another take on ‘bikable’ projection footage from Sweetpea

urban biking film

the work of Lucas Brunelle is pretty amazing.  here is one of his recent videos.  maybe we could ask him for permission to show it with the Velo-City installation along with previously mentioned SF Circa 1900.
