you know, john wayne gacy started life as a clown....
(i've been listening to Sufjan Stevens today).

jesus christ pjs, this is going to be rondonculous.
shame though, I was looking forward to my overly tight jeans, where can i find clown make up?

i thought your overly tight jeans were still mandatory eyebrows - hipster clown is a great look...

we won't talk about gacey.. in fact come to mention it I think we were saying it would be a good idea if "evil clown" (to some all clowns are evil, we can't do much about that) wasn't the idea, we don't want to scare kids and tourists and shit..

the ride is going to be great despite the vagueness, especially if the weather is like it was today.. some really nice parts of London are in it, North South East and West...

good point about the make up and stuff - people don't need to spend a load of money on this and that's not the idea - costume shops will have the make up and share between mates.. a wig maybe.. an old oversize jacket from a charity shop - you're there....

you know, john wayne gacy started life as a clown....

its gonna be a busy weekend for me!
going to oxford for an alleykitten on friday if anyone wants to join- actually need to check which week it is...

i'll pick up the white face paint there, i know a place.

The smart money's on sourcing a cheap hi-viz jacket just like this fella

LOPROPOLOCO Ride Sunday 25th October 2009 2.30pm Meeting Point Circus Space, Coronet Street, off Hoxton Square N1.

Okay apologies if you like your rides in a nice google map but I only just got back and I'm knackered from the weekend... and we want this ride to be a little bit of a surprise... so anyway, here's a bit of info....

Dressing Up

We started out from the idea that if a bunch of us ride in a group on our lo pros, we're going to look like a bunch of clowns. It's just like that. So.. we thought it would be great to go the whole way and ride as a proper bunch of clowns. To achieve this the dress code will be "clown". You would be expected to at least wear a clown face and maybe some clown hair or a hat and the rest is your interpretation.. you will not be expected to wear full clown costume and comedy long shoes due to toe overlap and chain snagging issues but it's all up to you... there are plenty of different clown looks. If, like eyebrows for example, you have a bunch of ideas already, then you can fully work them in, no danger. But yeah, the dress code is clowns for this ride... and there will be prizes - for "best clown costume" as well as "rider rendered most unrecognisable through the transforming alchemy that is clown wear". If you're not well known to everyone, bring a photo as proof of what you normally look like.

The beauty of it is that the more you get dressed up as a clown, the less of a clown you'll be, yet the more of a clown you'll be, but the less of a clown you'll be.. it's a proper mind fizzer when you start to think on it, it really is...

The Ride

Clowns are most often found in circuses. So we'll be going for a nice ride of about 20 miles that will take in as many of London's circuses as we can fit in. Here are the circuses we are thinking about for the ride:

Circus House
Circus Place
Circus Street
Circus Road
Arnold Circus
Finsbury Circus
Ludgate Circus
Holborn Circus
Cambridge Circus
Piccadilly Circus
Percy Circus
Oxford Circus
Queens Circus
St George's Circus
Gloucester Circus
Westferry Circus

We are still working on the feasibility of including all of them but the route is shaping up nicely.
**

Side Attractions**

Clown bike TT
Tag racing
Fwockin Donuts for every clown
Lo Pro Hall of Fame Photocall - mystery location
Clown Social (pub stops)

It really will be a fantastic afternoon out.. watch this space for the starting place as we are still weighing the best one up..
