The Revolution has Begun…
Locally, people are beginning to look to bicycles and public buses as an alternative form of transportation. To make this a reality, better consideration has to be given to our local transportation infrastructure. Safe streets and paths designed with commuting in mind, along with racks for bikes on our buses are just a few things that would decrease short-distance trips in a car. So, next time you consider making a short trip into work, or the market, or to visit a friend, ask yourself, ” Couldn’t I be doing this on my bike?”

Digi-folk Paradists; The Flight of the Conchords…
HBO’ s outrageously funny The Flight of the Conchords has been a nearly 10 year odd-yssey that has taken the pair of Kiwi songsters from Wellington, NZ to Australia, to London and the BBC, and finally to America.
The storyline is simple, just a couple of blokes trying to make it in New York. The episodes are funny, the music is solid, and the lyrics are quite clever. Along the way the Conchords manage to spoof many genres and musicians like Prince, Marvin Gaye, Pet Shop Boys, Marc Bolen, with one episode and song about a pretty freaky David Bowie.
