Awesome people doing awesome things

Cranksgiving is almost upon us. Every year, NYC bike messengers (and other bike-riding folks) compete in a race to grab food from various supermarkets throughout the city. The food is donated to local charities, the victor is victorious, and it is generally just an awesome thing that happens. Maxwell's Demon had the pleasure of helping to throw a pre-party for the race back in 2007, at the now-defunct Last Resort Art Space. Check out the website for more information, and/or to pledge a donation.

I've been on the cusp of a creative endeavor for a little while now. I've had a desire to encapsulate the year or two of my life spent on the road between many cities and several hearts, and its been coming together in my head as a basis for an album, most likely acoustic music. I've been inspired greatly by watching Kay's brother perform with the talented Kelly McFarling. Anyway, I keep finding scraps of paper in my pockets, with nothing on them but the names of cities I've recalled in a moment of inspiration or exasperation. Scrawled on the backs of receipts, movie tickets and metrocards.
