Critical Mass Melbourne this Friday
Is that right? The 25th? Anyone know where it's going?
Is there an actual CM website that gets updated? All I can ever find is dead end links. Cheers anyway! --- DFM |

Critical Mass Melbourne this Friday
Yup, CM is on again this Friday 25/7. Meet State Library, 5.30pm. No doubt
it will be a little lower-key than last month... probably not any live crosses to the TV news this time But who knows?... Where are we going? That depends on what route the Mass votes to take. I know of one person who's doing a map which may (or may not) take us out Richmond way... but if anyone else (including yourself DFM) wants to engage in a bit of creative xerocracy, then go right ahead. If there are 2 or more "competing" maps on the night, then us Massers get to put up our paws in support of the favoured route. It's a totally democratic system... two wheels = one vote... unless of course you're on a board or blades, in which case it's two legs = one vote. All it takes to make a map is a Melways, a texta & a photocopier. They don't have to be grandiose numbers like some of the recent cartographic efforts. The CM-Oz website is www.criticalmass.org.au, but I think that all of the Melbourne links have died of old age. They're ex-parrots. Again, I know of someone who is thinking of doing a cm-melb website... but since one person (or even a group of people) can't pretend to speak for the whole Mass, any web pages will by definition be "unofficial". They're always going to be beautiful in the eyes of their creator, but will only reflect their creator's thinking. There's room for lotsa cm-melb webpages, if people are motivated to produce their own take on this amazing social phenomenon. But mind you, after the tunnel ride we probably do need a "public face" of some sort, at least to set the media kinda straight about what CM is all about.

That's where the cm-melb yahoo group comes in.. It's not any more or less official than any of the websites, but at least it's current and plenty of different massers contribute.. PC |

Who cares? Or are you planning on taking out the fourbie with the greased
bullbar? "Deep Floyd Mars" wrote in message ... Is that right? The 25th? Anyone know where it's going? Is there an actual CM website that gets updated? All I can ever find is dead end links. Cheers anyway! --- DFM |
