Nike World Cup Party w/Mr. Cartoon - 4/29

The man's hand style is recognized around the world and is both menacing and beautiful. Bred in Los Angeles, Mister Cartoon's art work can be seen on the arms of our time's most lauded musicians. His work is steeped in the East Los Angeles Chicano culture of low riders and graffiti.

Nike Sportswear chose Mister Cartoon as the American artist for the True Colors Artist Collaboration - a fusion of art and fashion for the World Cup. Nike Sportswear will be holding events to launch the collection in New York, Boston, and Chicago next week. Come out to see the collection and Mister Cartoon in action.

BICYCLE SAFTY SUMMIT @ BU 4/21

Please watch out for violence & slick roads from oil near the corner of Tremont and Mass ave. My coworker crashed his bike from slipping on oil late yesterday and a random crazy man in his mid-thirties punched him in the face for no reason.

The Summit will gather area bicyclists and high-ranking city officials to discuss ways of improving safety for everyone who uses Boston’s roadways. The session will feature short speeches followed by a longer, open question and answer session. Our goal is to collectively begin to understand how to make Boston’s roads as safe as possible for all users.

Featured speakers and/or panelists include:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino
Boston Police Commissioner, Ed Davis
Boston Transportation Commissioner, Thomas Tinlin
Boston EMS Chief, James Hooley
State Transportation Secretary, Jeffrey Mullan
MBTA General Manager, Rich Davies
Boston Bikes Director, Nicole Freedman
