Practice walks return, route close to finalized..

May 24, 2010

Here’s the latest news, as of May 24, 2010:

  • Route is close to finalized. The timetable and maps will be posted on June 7.
  • Help publicize the parade by downloading and distributing our brochure.
  • Camping is still being finalized.

Practice walks:

THURSDAY, MAY 27, 8:15PM: INTRO WALK . Meeting spot: in front of Baller Hardware, 2505 Hyperion Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90027. This walk covers just two miles, but includes 14 stairways. It is a perfect way to get accustomed to stair climbing and figure out how the Parade will feel. First-timers, please come! (Note the new start time!)

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 9AM: PARK CITY: A repeat – with some modifications – of our May 1 walk. Twelve miles, nearly all off-road, in the heart of urban Los Angeles.
Meet: Angel’s Flight Stairway, 341 S. Hill St., downtown Los Angeles, 9AM.

We may add one walk the first weekend in June. After that, the Parade itself on June 12/13.

Please check back 24 hours before all walks to confirm.

Using the blog…

THE BANANA BLOG is about the world's most endangered - and dangerous - fruit. THE BIG PARADE is about stairways, route and transit geekery, and pedestrian pursuits in Los Angeles. You can also read all the topics at once, which might also include productivity, geekery, DIY whatever, mountain biking, stuff that I think is funny that nobody else likely will, and other boring, useless crap.

Read and Buy Some Books

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman recommends it. Listen to my interview on NPR's Fresh Air. My own op-ed in the New York Times.
