Posted by Cindy on October 9th, 2009
The clouds shall part tomorrow, unveiling a gorgeous day in Oak Cliff. I think I’ll take the Vespa out for a spin ’round the Bishop Arts District and find me some artistic treasures…
The Urban Bazaar is DFWs answer to the alternative art & craft DIY movement sweeping the country. The demand for hip handmade product is answered with this local shopping experience, so be sure to join us and support these local makers and creators of everthing handcrafted. Whether you are looking for unique clothing, funky jewelry and accessories or that perfect art piece for your pad, this is the place to be, because this sure ain’t your Grandma’s craft bazaar.
Sounds like a plan, eh?
My bike done needs new tires, so I’ll have to sit this one out, as far as joining to peddlin’ crew, but I might stop over at the Kessler to shoot the shite with Liles….
BFOC member, Kenny Cotton, is leading a group ride starting at the Historic Kessler Theatre at 1230 West Davis for the Old Oak Cliff Conservation League’s Home Tour. Cyclists get 10% off of the regularly $20 tickets, and will see inside some of the most amazing and historic homes in the area, ranging from 1920’s large-porched prairie homes, to mid-century modern homes. All proceeds go back to the league, which is responsible for many of the incredible historic revitalization projects in the Cliff.
There’s gonna be a whole lotta bikin’ goin’ on…
This is going to be a blast! We’ve blocked off Seventh Street from Tyler to Polk. DART is bringing out a bus to show off the bike rack systems, BikeDenton is showing off their tall bikes and will hold competitions. The Oak Cliff Bicycle Company is holding Goldsprints competitions (register at the shop at 6PM), The Cube Creative will be holding an art bike gallery show and ride, Photopol.us is opening up the building at 421 Tyler with the bands Happy Bullets and Boom Boom Box performing from 8pm to 11pm, Mighty Fine Arts will host an art show, T-shirt silk screening will be taking place, and Matt and Rob’s BBQ will be on hand serving some delicious smoked confections. All in all, it’s going to be an evening full of bicycle events all at Tyler Street and only a few blocks west of Bishop Arts. Head that way after the Urban Bazaar for the after party!
