harder better faster stronger

nike certainly doesn't need any help with publicity, but it's worth mentioning that they are putting on two pretty sweet events in august. tomorrow, tickets go on sale for the 88 boadrum event (for angelenos it's at the la brea tar pits on 8/8 at 8:08 pm; for brooklynites, same time on your coast at the williamsburg waterfront). 88 boadrum is an 88-min composition from japanese psych/noise group boredoms played by 88 drummers. i was in the vicinity of the 77 boadrum event in brooklyn bridge park last summer, and it appeared to be a pretty crazy/awesome spectacle. don't forget your earplugs.





nike's second august event is a 10k billed as "the world's largest running event." the human race takes place on 8/31 in 25 cities around the world and is followed by a free concert for participants. here in los angeles, the musical entertainment will be kanye at the la coliseum. don't forget those shades.
