Critical Mass - August '07

Um, last Friday of the month is the 31st not the 24th. Am I mishtaken? You could have a preemass..

just ignore the other aidan...hes a faulty prototype

turd's not as faulty as you'd thought, he said next friday, not this coming friday, so he was right.

i'll see how it goes, it's my last day at work (god, finally!), so might stay down for some leaving drinks. should then head down over to snows if i'm not too drunk... and if u guys are still there...

salmonchild i should be down, but the last two have been pretty boring.

yeah, the one in may was wicked, then it has been dead boring since then.

Is there going to be a dedicated meeting place? Bearing in mind I've never met anyone from here before.

aha, that's what the names and faces to bikes thread is for...

Yeah edmundane is your picture on it? Actually i cant talk, my picture is a photobooth grotesquification and i don't use the pictured bike anymore.....

i now dont know if i can make it myslef as im ment to be in hospital all day wednesday but it might have to be friday now and after a day of shit im just gunna wanna sleep...but lets say all congregate somewhere near the stone circle things yeah? hope i can make it

CM is on the 31st, right? Not on the 24th. Bunch of tree huggers but I might drop by.

Lets all just meet and have our own MASS-ive!

i've got an amp and bass tubes i could donate to the project as long as i get to use it once a month for for something or other maybe bike polo we could do with some good beats to play to
it might look like one of those basketball courts in the us ghettos where the low rider cruise past and the people are playing ball with hip hop in the background could take polo to a whole new level of cool !! might get more attendees / dj's

i think we would have to play some kind of classical music to balance the 'coolness' out....we dont want to look over cool do we?!

Wagner!

First we need a trailer to put the system on.

trailer trailer trailer
hmmm can't think of anything useable yet but let me hit the skips of the east end and see what i can come up with
i presume a pair of similar wheels would be best an old pram or something like that old fashion with the suspension i made some pretty funky go carts as a kid from my sisters pram ( she had no further use for it as she was walking by that time )

YOu say that but I bet you just used her as balest!

I was daydreaming about making a trailer earlier this summer - never got further than the research because of constant bicycle fiddling...

Check out the trailer links at the bottom here: http://www.carryfreedom.com/bamboo.html

I have a soldering iron, loadsof speaker wire + 4 smallish 2-way hifi speakers for surround effect if you need?

the hifi speakers would be useful
does any one know how to wire speakers so you split the bass to bass tubes and treble to regular speakers ? that kind of thing might be useful towards the later stages
i was thinking of making cobbling together a trailer rather than purchase

You need a crossover. There are a few ways - easiest is pre-built ones, wound to your spec.
Google speaker cross over, etc. What's teh electronics store here - Maplins? They might have 'em.

im sure they will.....andy @ http://www.fixedgearlondon.com * has a tricycle at his place which would be good for a 'ghetto blaster'.....i have no idea what hes doing with it..il have to ask him later

*creaping ever closer to becoming a member:)

if enough of the green stuff cloging up me nose falls out that i can breath again, i will be there

MWAH HA HA hospital just called...jazz has been moved forward so i'm officially in again!

so.. it is next week, right?

31st
