This past Saturday, Newmindspace, the group behind the Bubble Battle and Pillow Fight, held the first NYC Big Wheel Race 2008 in Central Park. With directions like, "You'll need a helmet and other protective gear. Your vehicle's seat must, at its lowest point, be lower than 12 inches. That's low. Wheel size is open.

Isn't that what adults do?
I hope for the sake of everyone's children that adults don't forget how to be children themselves and can enjoy sharing these activities eventually.
I take care of my responsibilities, I put on my suit and tie. But then I break out the motherfarking Legos and build a fort.
No mention of the Making Strides walk on Sunday? Thousands of people raising millions of dollars?
Hey, I read my son Green Eggs and Ham every night before he goes to sleep. But I wouldn't be doing that unless I had a kid.
