Rock the World

Strange convergence of my mind.. Last year I made Neill a felt rock, he was talking about my art at work and it was easier for him to show co-workers felt than explain it. It sits on his toy shelf in his office cubicle and today when I picked him up for work I saw it again. Then the feltlist talked about Rock the World.. a feltlist project. I lurk more than I participate these days to be honest I feel like a nomad these days. That's another story. I just was a ride leader for the city of Scottsdale for Cycle the Arts, an annual event that also involves Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. April is Bike Month in Arizona, May is National Bike Month. During the ride I am thinking about bike art.. cycle, spin, spinning, touring, rock and roll... I roll felt.. Next I work a booth at the Tour de Phoenix registration for the Coalition of arizona Bicyclist. CazB. Neill has never done this ride, it's kind of expensive. I am passing out fliers for the Desert Classic Century, Grand Canyon Overnight, and McDowell Mountain Century. Someone from Perterson Construction gave me a pass for the ride! Yea! Neill can ride this 74 mile timed event. If the tandem was on the road we could do it together, but that's not an option this year. Just about this time the feltlist is talking about "Art as a timed event" the discussion is not at all what the subject took me to, timed events.. sheep to shawl..Rock the world..art as a timed event.. Yesterday I saw bike gear clusters made into clocks...
