It's a classic dream, everybody's had it.

You dream you're in a room, you're at the

you're naked.

To me, the idea of riding through the

My name's Barbara Luecky.

40
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:01,083
So the very first parade was in 1989.

41
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:04,709
And we had about 90 people in the parade

42
00:04:04,709 --> 00:04:06,709
and it was a huge amount of fun.

43
00:04:06,709 --> 00:04:08,792
And it was ridiculous and on a shoe

44
00:04:08,792 --> 00:04:09,542
string, worse than a

45
00:04:09,542 --> 00:04:10,417
shoe string, a thread.

46
00:04:14,083 --> 00:04:15,458
The first year, I think we were only in

47
00:04:15,458 --> 00:04:17,125
half the street because of the permit.

48
00:04:18,041 --> 00:04:21,166
We went from 300 people in the first

52
00:04:28,583 --> 00:04:30,417
Certainly this city was really ripe for

53
00:04:30,417 --> 00:04:33,083
some sort of different thing to happen.

54
00:04:33,417 --> 00:04:34,125

00:05:18,542 --> 00:05:20,250
to be annoying to the

80
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:36,625
The problem there was that the cyclists

81
00:05:36,625 --> 00:05:38,083
were not part of the parade and

82
00:05:38,083 --> 00:05:39,750
the Arts Council and the parade people

83
00:05:39,750 --> 00:05:41,208
had no control over them.

84
00:05:41,208 --> 00:05:41,875
They were crashers.

85
00:05:43,417 --> 00:05:45,291
They were kind of giddy with the fact

86
00:05:45,291 --> 00:05:47,417
that they were being sort of naughty and

87
00:05:47,417 --> 00:05:48,917
running around naked in public.

Of course the press loved to latch onto

91
00:05:57,125 --> 00:05:58,917
the facts that the naked b ikers were

102
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:20,625
lowest common denominator was what

103
00:06:20,625 --> 00:06:23,875

celebration of the human form and

146
00:07:53,458 --> 00:07:57,959
of the sense of liberation and sort of

00:09:15,667 --> 00:09:17,917
Especially now as a mom, I mean, you go

189
00:09:17,917 --> 00:09:20,041
through changes in pregnancy and things.

190
00:09:20,458 --> 00:09:22,083
And I don't look the same

191
00:09:22,083 --> 00:09:23,417
way I did when I was 25.

192
00:09:26,458 --> 00:09:28,917
And rationally, I know, that's okay.

No, that's okay.

194
00:09:30,375 --> 00:09:33,542
But getting out there and putting

195
00:09:33,542 --> 00:09:35,417
yourself really on display, and

196
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:38,208
saying, no, this is okay, is a completely

197
00:09:38,208 --> 00:09:39,792
different, and I think

198
00:09:39,792 --> 00:09:41,458
a very validating act.

200
00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:57,000
The idea of riding in

front of thousands and

202
00:09:58,792 --> 00:10:00,291
thousands of people is

203
00:10:00,291 --> 00:10:01,792
kind of a little scary.

00:10:02,417 --> 00:10:03,041

What year was that, John?

225
00:10:41,834 --> 00:10:43,750
I think it's often difficult for black

226
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:47,709
people to kind of let their hair down.

227
00:10:48,917 --> 00:10:51,500
The fact that you can be singled out

00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:53,375
because you're black

229
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,417
is just kind of always

230
00:10:55,417 --> 00:10:57,917
something that you carry with you.

that black men carry with them.

00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:04,083
So why do you wanna do it?

234
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,291
You know, every now and then

235
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:07,667
I just like to shake it up.

[LAUGH]

00:11:08,542 --> 00:11:12,125
And it's, you know, I've

238
00:11:12,125 --> 00:11:14,333
been to several of the parades.

00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:16,166
Everybody that's on the bike

240
00:11:16,166 --> 00:11:17,625
looks like they're having fun.

241
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,417
Just watching the faces of the people

242
00:11:21,417 --> 00:11:22,291
standing in the crowd,

243
00:11:22,583 --> 00:11:24,083
you can just tell that

244
00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:25,291
they're just elated, too.

245
00:11:25,625 --> 00:11:26,750
I like being just a

246
00:11:26,750 --> 00:11:28,125
little notorious, you know,

247
00:11:28,125 --> 00:11:30,625
and this sounds like a way that I can be

248
00:11:30,625 --> 00:11:32,667
notorious, you know,

249
00:11:32,667 --> 00:11:34,083
without getting into big trouble.

250
00:11:36,333 --> 00:11:38,417
And so if it's a sunny, warm day, I'll

251
00:11:38,417 --> 00:11:39,500
pretend that this is

252
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:40,709
what I would look like.

253
00:11:41,166 --> 00:11:42,375

254
00:11:42,375 --> 00:11:44,166
fear of here is a cold day,

255
00:11:45,417 --> 00:11:46,583
and instead I'm gonna

256
00:11:46,583 --> 00:11:47,709
come across like that,

257
00:11:48,083 --> 00:11:49,542
which is not what I

258
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:52,500
want to happen on that day.

259
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:53,125
It's shrinkage.

260
00:11:53,542 --> 00:11:54,125
It's bad.

[MUSIC]

262
00:12:06,375 --> 00:12:08,625
I've been thinking about what's at stake

263
00:12:08,625 --> 00:12:10,375
for me if I were to

264
00:12:10,375 --> 00:12:12,750
ride naked in the fair.

265
00:12:15,542 --> 00:12:18,583
And for me, it's not really that there's

266
00:12:18,583 --> 00:12:20,375
something that I could lose or damage.

267
00:12:21,417 --> 00:12:22,500
It's actually more of the opposite.

268
00:12:22,917 --> 00:12:24,166
I had a very hard year,

269
00:12:24,417 --> 00:12:28,500
2010, and the biggest thing was,

270
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:29,542
"God, shit, I really don't want to cry."

271
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:31,709
My dad died very

272
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:35,208
suddenly on November 30th.

273
00:12:35,542 --> 00:12:38,792
We always knew he would die fast because

274
00:12:38,792 --> 00:12:39,667
he's always in airplanes,

275
00:12:39,917 --> 00:12:41,083
so I kind of always expected

276
00:12:41,083 --> 00:12:42,250
him to die in a plane crash,

277
00:12:42,250 --> 00:12:43,125
but he had a heart attack.

278
00:12:44,417 --> 00:12:48,083
And it's just torn a hole that is gonna

279
00:12:48,083 --> 00:12:50,083
take a while, I think, to heal up,

280
00:12:50,125 --> 00:12:50,875
even though it feels

281
00:12:50,875 --> 00:12:51,917
like it's starting to heal.

282
00:12:51,917 --> 00:12:54,750
I mean, it's been four months, and this

283
00:12:54,750 --> 00:12:55,959
is the first time I've cried about it,

284
00:12:55,959 --> 00:12:57,834
and probably two, so that's pretty good.

285
00:12:58,917 --> 00:12:59,917
But I just want to have fun.

286
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:01,750
I mean, I have this life motto with my

287
00:13:01,750 --> 00:13:02,709
best friend, and that is,

288
00:13:03,083 --> 00:13:03,709
"Nothing that sucks."

289
00:13:04,166 --> 00:13:05,375

297
00:13:19,917 --> 00:13:22,667
feel and have felt like an empty bucket.

298
00:13:22,667 --> 00:13:23,083
I just feel like

00:13:23,083 --> 00:13:24,083
someone pulled the cork out,

303
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:30,750
number of things that I've done

00:16:07,041 --> 00:16:08,000
a while to think about it.

376
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,333
Hey, you know, not everybody that's going

377
00:16:10,333 --> 00:16:12,000
to be 63 years old is

378
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,750
being in nude bicycle parades

379
00:16:15,750 --> 00:16:18,583
and putting black flamingos on their car.

380
00:16:19,542 --> 00:16:20,250
I think it's great.

381
00:16:21,542 --> 00:16:22,583
And I'll probably be doing

382
00:16:22,583 --> 00:16:23,750
this until the day I die.

383
00:16:26,333 --> 00:16:26,917
There we go.

384
00:16:28,709 --> 00:16:28,875
Hello.

385
00:16:29,417 --> 00:16:29,750
Hi.

386
00:16:31,166 --> 00:16:33,709
We were noticing

387
00:16:34,667 --> 00:16:37,417
Thank you.

388
00:16:37,417 --> 00:16:38,333
Hi, Jeff.

389
00:16:38,542 --> 00:16:39,291
Jeff, hi.

390
00:16:39,291 --> 00:16:40,083
How are you doing?

391
00:16:41,333 --> 00:16:42,375
Hi, Molly.

392
00:16:42,667 --> 00:16:43,583
Hi, Molly.

393
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:44,709
Hi, Molly.

394
00:16:45,542 --> 00:16:45,750
Hello.

395
00:16:46,125 --> 00:16:46,375
Hello.

396
00:16:47,417 --> 00:16:48,166
I am delicious.

397
00:16:48,709 --> 00:16:49,417
Oh, you're delicious.

398
00:16:50,333 --> 00:16:52,291
Here you go.

399
00:16:53,834 --> 00:16:55,500
I'm kind of dibbing.

400
00:16:56,458 --> 00:16:57,083
I dib jumpsuit.

401
00:16:57,583 --> 00:16:58,125
Oh, isn't that cool.

402
00:16:58,125 --> 00:17:00,250
This is actually Janet

403
00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:01,750
Jackson jumpsuit jacket.

404
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:03,083
Oh, yeah.

405
00:17:03,083 --> 00:17:03,542
Oh, yeah.

406
00:17:03,542 --> 00:17:04,542
One's in the work function.

407
00:17:05,083 --> 00:17:05,583
Malfunction.

408
00:17:06,583 --> 00:17:08,834
Two years ago at the parade when I

409
00:17:08,834 --> 00:17:09,834
started thinking about, you

410
00:17:09,834 --> 00:17:10,917
know, wow, that's pretty cool.

411
00:17:11,333 --> 00:17:14,250
I was in the crowd and on the street was

412
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:16,583
a guy on a bicycle walking.

413
00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:17,125
Who's walking?

414
00:17:17,583 --> 00:17:18,583
Because you could really see him.

415
00:17:19,041 --> 00:17:21,083
And so one of the ladies that was in the

416
00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:22,291
crowd looked at him and

417
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:23,542
he was painted poorly.

418
00:17:24,125 --> 00:17:25,834
He had a little, you know, red and white.

419
00:17:26,166 --> 00:17:27,792
But on the end of his

420
00:17:27,792 --> 00:17:30,709
cock, he had a heart painted.

421
00:17:32,083 --> 00:17:33,500
So this lady thinks she

422
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:36,250
goes, oh, look at that.

423
00:17:36,250 --> 00:17:37,250
He's got a heart on.

424
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:38,417
[Laughter]

425
00:17:39,333 --> 00:17:39,959
And then she went

426
00:17:40,542 --> 00:17:41,125
Oh no!

427
00:17:41,583 --> 00:17:42,375
With a hard on?

428
00:17:42,792 --> 00:17:43,458
With a heart on

429
00:17:43,583 --> 00:17:44,875
OK, I'm going to show you a photo

430
00:17:44,875 --> 00:17:46,458
of me painted as a heart.

431
00:17:47,041 --> 00:17:48,583
But I don't remember having a hard on.

432
00:17:48,583 --> 00:17:49,709
But it'll be interesting to know.

433
00:17:49,917 --> 00:17:51,333
It gets hard to me knowing.

434
00:17:51,333 --> 00:17:52,250
You had a heart on your penis.

435
00:17:52,709 --> 00:17:54,041
I had a heart on my penis.

436
00:17:54,375 --> 00:17:55,166
Yes, that's me.

437
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:56,709
It's a play on words.

438
00:17:57,458 --> 00:17:57,667
Yeah.

439
00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:58,625
So it was you then.

440
00:17:58,625 --> 00:17:59,709
Check this out.

441
00:17:59,709 --> 00:18:00,250
It was him.

442
00:18:00,250 --> 00:18:01,208
I'm surprised you could have been him.

443
00:18:01,458 --> 00:18:01,834
Oh, here.

444
00:18:03,458 --> 00:18:04,709
I'm getting scared now.

445
00:18:06,417 --> 00:18:07,333
It was you.

446
00:18:08,625 --> 00:18:10,125
Oh, my God.

447
00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:13,375
Oh, my God.

448
00:18:13,375 --> 00:18:14,125
There's you.

449
00:18:14,125 --> 00:18:15,792
Yes, yes, there is you.

450
00:18:15,792 --> 00:18:16,583
Oh, my God.

451
00:18:17,625 --> 00:18:20,291
We are cooking ahh love today

452
00:18:21,583 --> 00:18:22,583
This is amazing.

453
00:18:22,917 --> 00:18:23,125
What a feast.

454
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:24,917
I'll pass this on.

455
00:18:25,208 --> 00:18:25,417
Cheers.

456
00:18:26,375 --> 00:18:26,917
Happy birthday.

457
00:18:28,083 --> 00:18:29,583
Thank you, everyone.

458
00:18:30,667 --> 00:18:31,875
Glad to be a part of this team.

459
00:18:32,750 --> 00:18:34,166
Wow, we're like, we're

460
00:18:34,166 --> 00:18:34,917
going to this mission.

461
00:18:35,208 --> 00:18:35,834
We're going to like

462
00:18:35,834 --> 00:18:37,750
be naked in the parade.

463
00:18:38,041 --> 00:18:38,792
So strange.

464
00:18:39,458 --> 00:18:40,000
I feel like--

465
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,333
I'm not really

466
00:18:40,333 --> 00:18:41,500
concerned about the nudity part.

467
00:18:42,083 --> 00:18:43,750
I really am not, especially when you're

468
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:44,834
in a sea of naked people.

469
00:18:45,542 --> 00:18:46,583
It's just a wash.

470
00:18:47,583 --> 00:18:49,291
I just don't ride a bike very well.

471
00:18:49,709 --> 00:18:51,417
Oh that's right you're the bike lady

472
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:56,166
Well, you mentioned the police, and that

473
00:18:56,166 --> 00:18:59,083
was one of my early

474
00:18:59,083 --> 00:19:00,917
fears, is like, sure, this

475
00:19:00,917 --> 00:19:02,250
would be the year that they crack down

476
00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:02,917
again, and they are

477
00:19:02,917 --> 00:19:04,417
probably going to drag my black

478
00:19:04,417 --> 00:19:05,625
ass off first.

479
00:19:08,125 --> 00:19:09,917
Because that's kind of

480
00:19:09,917 --> 00:19:11,083
what sometimes happens.

481
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:13,375
I know you're black

482
00:19:13,375 --> 00:19:14,875
because you'll be famous.

483
00:19:14,875 --> 00:19:14,917
I know.

484
00:19:14,917 --> 00:19:17,417
I have the feeling that not every square

485
00:19:17,417 --> 00:19:18,417
inch is going to be painted.

486
00:19:19,208 --> 00:19:20,542
Well, how many times

487
00:19:20,542 --> 00:19:22,375
have you done this race?

488
00:19:23,917 --> 00:19:24,458
It's not a race.

489
00:19:24,792 --> 00:19:25,792
You don't have to race.

490
00:19:27,875 --> 00:19:34,959
I done the 1997, I start.

491
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:36,583
You're like a pioneer.

492
00:19:37,083 --> 00:19:38,667
We start at like 6 o'clock in the

493
00:19:38,667 --> 00:19:39,500
morning, the parade,

494
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:40,250
we leave like a night.

495
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:41,500
For me, like a little paint

496
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:43,917
on, I just like, I don't care.

497
00:19:44,125 --> 00:19:44,917
I'm there to watch

498
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:46,792
people, to see it for the high.

499
00:19:47,125 --> 00:19:50,291
My artist suggested that he wants me

500
00:19:50,291 --> 00:19:54,709
clean shaven or clean in my private area.

501
00:19:55,583 --> 00:19:56,917
I'm like, well, that's funny.

502
00:19:56,917 --> 00:19:57,834
So is that official?

503
00:19:57,834 --> 00:19:59,250
You're going to get your balls waxed?

504
00:20:00,208 --> 00:20:01,917
I think more than my balls, and I've

505
00:20:01,917 --> 00:20:03,375
never, it's been, I don't

506
00:20:03,375 --> 00:20:04,709
know, how many, 50 years?

507
00:20:04,709 --> 00:20:06,250
It's like not had hair down below.

508
00:20:06,250 --> 00:20:06,542
Wow.

509
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:09,125
Wow, you're going to feel the breeze.

510
00:20:09,583 --> 00:20:10,208
Can you tell us

511
00:20:10,208 --> 00:20:11,333
This is mundane, but can

512
00:20:11,333 --> 00:20:12,166
you tell us about the weather?

513
00:20:12,458 --> 00:20:13,375
Is it going to be cold?

514
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,125
What's typically--

515
00:20:15,166 --> 00:20:17,458
You know, don't worry about that.

516
00:20:17,458 --> 00:20:18,083
Don't know--

517
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,083
It's not uncomfortably cold.

518
00:20:20,458 --> 00:20:20,667
No.

519
00:20:21,333 --> 00:20:23,750
No, it's not because you're so high.

520
00:20:23,834 --> 00:20:24,959
You're so high from the engine.

521
00:20:24,959 --> 00:20:27,083
And then once you start to bike, you're

522
00:20:27,083 --> 00:20:28,375
using energy, you know,

523
00:20:28,375 --> 00:20:29,291
and you're so distracted

524
00:20:30,291 --> 00:20:32,417
Well, I'm still concerned about the cold,

525
00:20:32,417 --> 00:20:34,667
because you know how cold steel can get.

526
00:20:35,208 --> 00:20:38,583
[LAUGHTER]

527
00:20:40,917 --> 00:20:43,083
There are all kinds of sort of things

528
00:20:43,083 --> 00:20:44,041
going through my head

529
00:20:44,041 --> 00:20:45,500
about, OK, you know, well,

530
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:46,750
I have to be perfect.

531
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,166
I can't have any cellulite.

532
00:20:48,166 --> 00:20:50,000
I have to, you know, like I've got to

533
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,250
make sure it's a cold day,

534
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:52,208
you know, so everything's

535
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:52,959
standing up properly.

536
00:20:53,208 --> 00:20:54,542
Make sure that this happens, and we're

537
00:20:54,542 --> 00:20:55,583
going to control for that.

538
00:20:55,583 --> 00:20:57,208
And then if everything's perfect, then

539
00:20:57,208 --> 00:20:58,333
I'm allowed to have fun.

540
00:20:58,333 --> 00:20:59,875
And then I can relax and enjoy it.

541
00:21:00,417 --> 00:21:01,083
I don't know Molly.

542
00:21:01,417 --> 00:21:02,250
I'm gay, and I'm

543
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:03,792
looking at you thinking, mwah.

Bye-bye.

Thank you.

00:21:49,333 --> 00:21:50,625
Are you excited you might be in a parade?

557
00:21:51,709 --> 00:21:53,875
Yeah, I'm excited for the parade.

558
00:21:54,125 --> 00:21:54,417
Yeah.

559
00:21:56,625 --> 00:21:57,625
Well, you know what?

560
00:21:57,625 --> 00:22:00,667
This is actually a really funny parade,

561
00:22:00,667 --> 00:22:01,750
because all the people

562
00:22:01,750 --> 00:22:03,083
riding on the bikes in the

00:22:03,166 --> 00:22:03,834
parade are naked.

564
00:22:06,166 --> 00:22:06,875
Isn't that silly?

565
00:22:07,583 --> 00:22:07,792
Yeah.

566
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Why do you think they want to do that?

567
00:22:11,041 --> 00:22:12,667
Because they want to be cold.

568
00:22:12,959 --> 00:22:13,917
Because they want to be cold.

569
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:15,792
Well, they might be.

570
00:22:15,792 --> 00:22:16,834
They might be pretty cold.

571
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:20,333
You know what my binoculars are?

572
00:22:21,166 --> 00:22:23,125
What do you think if mommy rides a bike,

573
00:22:23,917 --> 00:22:26,166
and I don't wear any clothes?

574
00:22:26,166 --> 00:22:26,959
What would you think of that?

575
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,250
[LAUGHTER]

576
00:22:29,917 --> 00:22:30,959
Funny, mama.

577
00:22:31,250 --> 00:22:31,500
Funny.

578
00:22:32,709 --> 00:22:32,917
Mom.

579
00:22:34,125 --> 00:22:36,208
Well, are only grown-ups

580
00:22:36,208 --> 00:22:37,458
allowed to be in the parade?

581
00:22:38,208 --> 00:22:39,041
That's a good question.

582
00:22:39,041 --> 00:22:39,917
I think that some kids have

583
00:22:39,917 --> 00:22:40,917
ridden in the parade before.

584
00:22:42,417 --> 00:22:43,333
So what about if we painted

585
00:22:43,333 --> 00:22:44,417
your costume on your body?

586
00:22:46,875 --> 00:22:49,208
No, I'm a real costume.

587
00:22:49,792 --> 00:22:51,291
This is what I want to be

588
00:22:51,291 --> 00:22:53,917
dressed like in a parade.

589
00:22:54,125 --> 00:22:54,417
OK.

590
00:22:55,208 --> 00:22:55,500
Mom?

591
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,000
Uh-huh. I'm still thirsty.

592
00:22:59,166 --> 00:23:01,959
So we're going to get on our bikes, and

593
00:23:01,959 --> 00:23:04,500
you can wear what you want to wear.

594
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:05,625
And I'm going to not wear

595
00:23:05,625 --> 00:23:06,583
what I don't want to wear.

596
00:23:06,834 --> 00:23:08,250
And I'll put my body

597
00:23:08,250 --> 00:23:09,625
paint on or my costume.

598
00:23:10,583 --> 00:23:13,291
And then we'll get on our bikes, and

599
00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:14,917
we'll wait at the

600
00:23:14,917 --> 00:23:16,041
starting line with all the other

601
00:23:16,125 --> 00:23:16,417
bikers.

602
00:23:16,792 --> 00:23:19,250
And then when they say go, all the bikers

603
00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:21,375
start driving on their

604
00:23:21,375 --> 00:23:22,750
bikes down the street.

605
00:23:25,375 --> 00:23:25,583
Where?

606
00:23:34,166 --> 00:23:35,083
This is one of my favorite

607
00:23:35,083 --> 00:23:36,625
places to be on the water.

608
00:23:37,583 --> 00:23:39,083
And it's actually what keeps me in

609
00:23:39,083 --> 00:23:40,583
Seattle is this boat and

610
00:23:40,583 --> 00:23:41,709
the summer solstice parade.

611
00:23:42,792 --> 00:23:46,208
My first year, I couldn't find the party.

612
00:23:46,709 --> 00:23:49,083
So I was like, I got there really late

613
00:23:49,083 --> 00:23:51,625
and had to get my paint on quick.

614
00:23:53,792 --> 00:23:55,083
It was overwhelming.

615
00:23:55,291 --> 00:23:57,458
There was just all these nude people,

616
00:23:57,458 --> 00:23:59,250
everything from totally

617
00:23:59,250 --> 00:24:01,291
elaborate, costumed and done

618
00:24:01,291 --> 00:24:03,250
to people just getting there and taking

619
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:04,542
off their clothes, which,

620
00:24:04,542 --> 00:24:05,542
by the way, is the hardest

621
00:24:05,542 --> 00:24:07,750
part of the whole experience, is those

622
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:08,834
first few moments when

623
00:24:08,834 --> 00:24:10,166
you strip down in the room

624
00:24:10,166 --> 00:24:12,458
in front of all these people.

625
00:24:13,125 --> 00:24:15,583
And you know the eyes are on you, and

626
00:24:15,583 --> 00:24:17,166
you're totally exposed and

627
00:24:17,166 --> 00:24:18,125
vulnerable in that moment.

628
00:24:19,166 --> 00:24:23,000
As soon as the paint starts going on, you

629
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,917
feel a little better.

630
00:24:24,166 --> 00:24:25,458
You feel like you're getting your clothes

631
00:24:25,458 --> 00:24:26,959
back on because the

632
00:24:26,959 --> 00:24:28,500
paint literally does feel

633
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:29,166
like clothing.

634
00:24:30,959 --> 00:24:33,792
The third year rolled around, and we were

635
00:24:33,792 --> 00:24:36,083
all wondering, where's

636
00:24:36,083 --> 00:24:36,917
the paint party going

637
00:24:36,917 --> 00:24:37,291
to happen?

638
00:24:37,959 --> 00:24:39,250
Nobody was stepping forward.

639
00:24:39,792 --> 00:24:42,417
So I basically appointed myself the

640
00:24:42,417 --> 00:24:44,583
leader and took a hold

641
00:24:44,583 --> 00:24:45,875
where nobody else seemed to

642
00:24:45,875 --> 00:24:47,166
want to or had the time.

643
00:24:48,208 --> 00:24:50,917
[bell rings]

644
00:24:52,917 --> 00:24:54,709
I know in the past this has been an

645
00:24:54,709 --> 00:24:56,792
anarchist group, but we're

646
00:24:56,792 --> 00:24:59,583
growing so big now that we

647
00:24:59,583 --> 00:25:00,458
have to think about

648
00:25:00,458 --> 00:25:01,792
things a little differently.

649
00:25:03,709 --> 00:25:05,417
Thinking that we could have seven to nine

650
00:25:05,417 --> 00:25:06,291
hundred people show

651
00:25:06,291 --> 00:25:08,959
up this year, we can't

652
00:25:09,166 --> 00:25:11,750
just go anywhere.

653
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:12,750
That's a big group.

654
00:25:12,917 --> 00:25:13,583
I mean, this is what

655
00:25:13,583 --> 00:25:14,583
happened to Burning Man.

656
00:25:15,625 --> 00:25:17,834
So I started looking for different

657
00:25:17,834 --> 00:25:19,750
places, and the thing

658
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:21,542
about the bigger space, there's

659
00:25:21,542 --> 00:25:23,041
a lot of benefits to it.

660
00:25:23,458 --> 00:25:25,291
One is that it's plenty of room.

661
00:25:25,583 --> 00:25:27,583
I mean, it could hold everybody.

662
00:25:27,875 --> 00:25:30,667
The challenge of it is, is that it's

663
00:25:30,667 --> 00:25:32,417
going to probably cost around 2K.

664
00:25:33,583 --> 00:25:36,375
So we could use this space for both the

665
00:25:36,375 --> 00:25:37,583
painting party and the

666
00:25:37,583 --> 00:25:39,125
evening party and charge for

667
00:25:39,166 --> 00:25:44,000
both events and have paid positions for

668
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,542
people that want to help.

669
00:25:45,542 --> 00:25:46,458
Like, if you put in enough

670
00:25:46,458 --> 00:25:48,166
hours, you make something.

671
00:25:49,458 --> 00:25:52,166
Well, then you get arguments over who

672
00:25:52,166 --> 00:25:53,166
gets the paid positions.

673
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:57,000
Right now, it's the traditional

674
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,125
anarchistic thing of

675
00:25:58,125 --> 00:25:59,333
whoever's willing to do the work

676
00:25:59,333 --> 00:25:59,959
and express the

677
00:25:59,959 --> 00:26:01,375
opinions with the leaders.

678
00:26:01,750 --> 00:26:02,709
But then I don't want paid

679
00:26:02,709 --> 00:26:04,125
positions for managing the group.

680
00:26:04,125 --> 00:26:07,041
I also sort of prefer to open it up for

681
00:26:07,041 --> 00:26:08,458
discussion, and not just us three

682
00:26:08,458 --> 00:26:09,417
deciding, but open up

683
00:26:09,417 --> 00:26:10,542
for discussion on the group.

684
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:13,208
Would you rather have a place indoors

685
00:26:13,208 --> 00:26:16,750
that you've got to pay ten dollars for or

686
00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:18,583
camp out in the cold?

687
00:26:19,166 --> 00:26:23,458
[bell ringing]

688
00:26:23,458 --> 00:26:30,667
[music]

689
00:26:32,166 --> 00:26:35,125
Bicycling is a lot of fun, good exercise,

690
00:26:35,417 --> 00:26:37,125
and a fine means of transportation.

691
00:26:38,583 --> 00:26:39,959
[music]

692
00:26:39,959 --> 00:26:44,208
A bicycle safety manual may be obtained

693
00:26:44,208 --> 00:26:45,750
from either your local safety

694
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:47,417
council or police department.

695
00:26:48,208 --> 00:26:50,083
It tells of all the things you should

696
00:26:50,083 --> 00:26:50,875
know about bike

697
00:26:50,875 --> 00:26:52,917
riding. Study it carefully.

698
00:26:53,834 --> 00:26:55,041
Here's the seat adjustment.

699
00:26:55,917 --> 00:26:58,166
The seat should be adjusted so that with

700
00:26:58,166 --> 00:26:59,834
your feet on the pedal, your

701
00:26:59,834 --> 00:27:01,333
knee will have a slight bend.

702
00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:03,125
It's way not the right height.

703
00:27:03,959 --> 00:27:04,709
Like, what's the rule?

704
00:27:05,333 --> 00:27:06,959
If your knees are hitting your knockers,

705
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:08,542
definitely raise the seat.

706
00:27:09,959 --> 00:27:10,000
[laughing]

707
00:27:10,166 --> 00:27:13,083
For easier and safer riding, tires should

708
00:27:13,083 --> 00:27:15,125
be inflated to the recommended pressure.

709
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:17,792
I'm just making steady progress here.

710
00:27:18,417 --> 00:27:20,083
Even a short trip to the store for mom

711
00:27:20,083 --> 00:27:22,291
can be dangerous if you don't keep your

712
00:27:22,291 --> 00:27:23,291
mind on your riding.

713
00:27:23,875 --> 00:27:25,250
Don't be a clown or a

714
00:27:25,250 --> 00:27:26,583
show-off on your bike.

715
00:27:26,583 --> 00:27:27,458
Watch out, world.

716
00:27:29,792 --> 00:27:32,250
Riding two on a bike is double trouble.

717
00:27:34,083 --> 00:27:36,583
Remember, take care of your bike so that

718
00:27:36,583 --> 00:27:37,875
it can take care of you.

719
00:27:39,208 --> 00:27:39,333
[whistling]

720
00:27:42,417 --> 00:27:44,542
Bike abuse. That's a terrible thing.

721
00:27:46,125 --> 00:27:46,250
[laughing]

722
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:46,792
Yeah, it looks like

723
00:27:46,792 --> 00:27:48,000
it's been better days here.

724
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:51,083
Yeah. That sort of forgot about...

725
00:27:51,959 --> 00:27:55,959
Everything should be working. It's been

726
00:27:55,959 --> 00:27:57,917
sitting outside for the last ten years.

727
00:28:00,333 --> 00:28:01,583
Well, everyone wants to hear the story.

728
00:28:02,166 --> 00:28:04,125
Yeah, everyone wants to hear the story

729
00:28:04,125 --> 00:28:05,250
about riding in the

730
00:28:05,250 --> 00:28:06,709
solstice parade naked.

731
00:28:08,125 --> 00:28:11,417
I usually tell them just to meet us and

732
00:28:11,417 --> 00:28:12,208
take off their clothes,

733
00:28:12,208 --> 00:28:12,875
and then they can tell

734
00:28:12,875 --> 00:28:14,500
the story themselves. Yeah.

735
00:28:16,667 --> 00:28:17,375
Originally, it was a

736
00:28:17,375 --> 00:28:19,250
pretty innocent thing.

737
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:22,125
It wasn't to be a political movement.

738
00:28:22,417 --> 00:28:23,250
Just a couple of guys

739
00:28:23,250 --> 00:28:25,542
doing something wacky.

740
00:28:26,375 --> 00:28:28,583
Maybe a little bath and some lubricant.

741
00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:31,417
Ready to go. Yeah.

742
00:28:33,041 --> 00:28:33,792
I think you should do it.

743
00:28:34,208 --> 00:28:34,875
[laughing]

744
00:28:35,166 --> 00:28:36,417
Why not, huh?

745
00:28:38,625 --> 00:28:39,583
I think the ride wouldn't be the same

746
00:28:39,583 --> 00:28:40,792
without you in front of it this year.

747
00:28:41,083 --> 00:28:43,917
Yeah, I think so. [laughing]

748
00:28:44,166 --> 00:28:48,625
Let's see. It's probably been 12 years

749
00:28:48,625 --> 00:28:50,417
since I've done the parade.

750
00:28:50,625 --> 00:28:53,041
Yeah. I think I've aged a

751
00:28:53,041 --> 00:28:53,750
little better than the bike.

752
00:28:59,166 --> 00:29:00,000
Mama.

753
00:29:00,542 --> 00:29:00,750
Yes?

754
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:02,417
Maybe you could put

755
00:29:02,417 --> 00:29:04,166
pickles on my sandwich.

756
00:29:04,166 --> 00:29:05,792
Whoa, that'd be really weird.

757
00:29:06,166 --> 00:29:07,000
Do you like pickles?

758
00:29:08,458 --> 00:29:09,125
He loves pickles.

759
00:29:09,417 --> 00:29:11,041
I didn't know you liked pickles. Pickles

760
00:29:11,041 --> 00:29:11,959
are so good for you.

761
00:29:11,959 --> 00:29:13,458
You had your lips all over that one, then

762
00:29:13,458 --> 00:29:14,583
your tongue, I don't want it.

763
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,500
Do you remember what

764
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:18,917
we're going to do, River?

765
00:29:19,917 --> 00:29:20,125
What?

766
00:29:21,959 --> 00:29:23,625
In June. Remember what

767
00:29:23,625 --> 00:29:24,667
we're going to be in in June.

768
00:29:24,917 --> 00:29:27,625
We get to... do you remember?

769
00:29:28,291 --> 00:29:29,917
In a parade, and we're

770
00:29:29,917 --> 00:29:31,875
going to have our clothes off.

771
00:29:33,125 --> 00:29:34,875
Oh, you're going to do the solstice

772
00:29:34,875 --> 00:29:36,625
parade? Riding on a bike?

773
00:29:36,917 --> 00:29:37,083
Yeah.

774
00:29:38,709 --> 00:29:42,041
And riding on a ride without our clothes.

775
00:29:46,458 --> 00:29:46,875
Are you eating?

776
00:29:47,709 --> 00:29:49,125
I am. Do you want some?

777
00:29:49,417 --> 00:29:50,834
No, I'm all right for now.

778
00:29:51,208 --> 00:29:52,291
So you're not going to be embarrassed to

779
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:52,917
have a daughter who's

780
00:29:52,917 --> 00:29:53,834
naked in a documentary?

781
00:29:54,166 --> 00:29:56,583
I'm not going to be there. I mean, are

782
00:29:56,583 --> 00:29:57,834
they going to follow you the whole way?

783
00:29:59,166 --> 00:30:01,208
I would expect so. I mean, I don't think

784
00:30:01,208 --> 00:30:01,834
it's going to be 20

785
00:30:01,834 --> 00:30:02,917
minutes of footage of me.

786
00:30:02,917 --> 00:30:05,125
What's the documentary about? Solstice?

787
00:30:05,917 --> 00:30:07,458
Being naked? Riding a

788
00:30:07,458 --> 00:30:08,417
bike? What's it about?

789
00:30:09,250 --> 00:30:09,625
Hey, River.

790
00:30:10,083 --> 00:30:10,417
What?

791
00:30:10,417 --> 00:30:11,083
Were you excused?

792
00:30:13,375 --> 00:30:14,375
Come back to the table.

793
00:30:14,375 --> 00:30:16,083
I don't recall excusing you, and I don't

794
00:30:16,083 --> 00:30:16,625
think your mom did

795
00:30:16,625 --> 00:30:17,291
because she was talking.

796
00:30:18,041 --> 00:30:20,000
Hey, hey, hey. Come

797
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:20,750
back to the table, please.

798
00:30:25,041 --> 00:30:28,125
What if someone sees it and tells your

799
00:30:28,125 --> 00:30:32,000
boss? And your boss says, "You were in a

800
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,625
parade the other day."

801
00:30:34,291 --> 00:30:37,041
I mean, I don't know. I think there's

802
00:30:37,041 --> 00:30:37,959
some things to consider.

803
00:30:39,375 --> 00:30:42,417
Um, my boss won't care.

804
00:30:43,709 --> 00:30:45,250
I think your boss should know.

805
00:30:45,250 --> 00:30:45,625
The company...

806
00:30:47,166 --> 00:30:49,083
Hello.

807
00:30:49,083 --> 00:30:50,083
Turn the picture to the river.

808
00:30:50,083 --> 00:30:51,083
River, dance. Sit down.

809
00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:53,250
Come on. You got a couple more bites.

810
00:30:53,250 --> 00:30:55,458
Three more bites. Okay? One, two, three.

811
00:30:56,417 --> 00:31:01,333
Doing something as vulnerable as this in

812
00:31:01,333 --> 00:31:05,750
front of such a wide audience is really

813
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:07,750
pushing me out of my comfort zone and

814
00:31:07,750 --> 00:31:09,291
basically forcing me.

815
00:31:09,291 --> 00:31:10,667
I feel like it pushes about anybody out

816
00:31:10,667 --> 00:31:11,041
of their comfort zone.

817
00:31:11,041 --> 00:31:11,583
Well, absolutely.

818
00:31:12,166 --> 00:31:14,834
Yeah, but it's kind of forcing me to shut

819
00:31:14,834 --> 00:31:16,250
up this voice in my head that's saying,

820
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:18,542
"You're not good enough. You're not doing

821
00:31:18,542 --> 00:31:19,750
this right. You're not

822
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:21,375
okay. That's the way you are."

823
00:31:23,333 --> 00:31:25,917
So you think that after you finish the

824
00:31:25,917 --> 00:31:27,125
Solstice Parade ride,

825
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:28,458
that voice will cease?

826
00:31:31,083 --> 00:31:33,583
Well, I think, you know, my opinion about

827
00:31:33,583 --> 00:31:36,917
nudity is pretty liberal.

828
00:31:38,208 --> 00:31:39,250
You know, I mean, if someone's walking

829
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:40,709
down the street naked, I might think,

830
00:31:40,709 --> 00:31:42,208
"Ooh, that's probably not a good idea,"

831
00:31:42,917 --> 00:31:45,542
because some people will really object.

832
00:31:46,917 --> 00:31:48,083
And I think the law is saying you're not supposed to go...

833
00:31:48,083 --> 00:31:49,917
But is the only reason it's a bad idea

834
00:31:49,917 --> 00:31:51,875
because some people object to it?

835
00:31:52,166 --> 00:31:52,959
Fundamentally, is it

836
00:31:52,959 --> 00:31:54,250
something to be ashamed of?

837
00:31:55,166 --> 00:31:59,500
No. But society has a lot of rules about

838
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:02,709
stuff. Some of it's valid, some of it's

839
00:32:02,709 --> 00:32:03,458
not, and some of it's

840
00:32:03,458 --> 00:32:04,375
really open to opinion.

841
00:32:05,875 --> 00:32:07,750
The main thing is don't break the laws,

842
00:32:07,750 --> 00:32:11,083
right? What's your name again?

843
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:11,750
Dan.

844
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,583
Dan. You don't get to break the laws.

845
00:32:19,125 --> 00:32:20,583
I guess getting arrested was never a

846
00:32:20,583 --> 00:32:23,959
worry of mine at the time. When I started

847
00:32:23,959 --> 00:32:27,750
wanting to ride in 96, maybe, or 97,

848
00:32:28,375 --> 00:32:29,250
there wasn't anybody to

849
00:32:29,250 --> 00:32:31,166
get in touch with about it.

850
00:32:32,417 --> 00:32:34,625
And if you wanted to do it, you just went

851
00:32:34,625 --> 00:32:35,875
down and were there on your bike naked.

852
00:32:37,208 --> 00:32:39,917
So I was with a small-ish group,

853
00:32:40,542 --> 00:32:41,166
certainly no more than

854
00:32:41,166 --> 00:32:42,542
20, maybe more like a dozen.

855
00:32:43,458 --> 00:32:45,166
Totally not a sanctioned part of the

856
00:32:45,166 --> 00:32:46,417
parade, no coordination

857
00:32:46,417 --> 00:32:48,041
with the Fremont Arts Council.

858
00:32:48,250 --> 00:32:48,458
Right.

859
00:32:49,250 --> 00:32:50,834
And so I think we came down Third...

860
00:32:51,250 --> 00:32:51,750
Third, okay.

861
00:32:52,417 --> 00:32:54,458
...in...down here into Fremont.

862
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,417
And up ahead, you can see, "Oh, that's

863
00:32:57,417 --> 00:32:57,875
what we did. We

864
00:32:57,875 --> 00:32:59,083
stripped at the gas station."

865
00:32:59,250 --> 00:32:59,583
Okay.

866
00:33:00,125 --> 00:33:00,917
And then we got to Third and Leary and

867
00:33:00,917 --> 00:33:01,709
got all our stuff into

868
00:33:01,709 --> 00:33:03,417
our bike bags or whatever.

869
00:33:04,542 --> 00:33:05,542
I bet they're still talking

870
00:33:05,542 --> 00:33:08,083
about that at the gas station.

871
00:33:09,208 --> 00:33:11,750
So you come along the whole way, and I

872
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:14,166
see up ahead there are some police

873
00:33:14,166 --> 00:33:16,583
officers, and one cop just

874
00:33:16,583 --> 00:33:18,041
sort of steps out in front of me.

875
00:33:18,375 --> 00:33:18,583
Wow.

876
00:33:18,583 --> 00:33:20,166
It was pretty clear that I was to get off

877
00:33:20,166 --> 00:33:21,041
my bike, and then he

878
00:33:21,041 --> 00:33:22,208
brought me out of the street.

879
00:33:22,750 --> 00:33:24,166
I was standing...I was

880
00:33:24,166 --> 00:33:25,125
somewhere right around here.

881
00:33:25,375 --> 00:33:26,792
There's a picture of me with my hands

882
00:33:26,792 --> 00:33:27,959
behind my back and the

883
00:33:27,959 --> 00:33:29,125
caption underneath it says,

884
00:33:29,625 --> 00:33:31,750
"Seattle police enforcing Mark Sidran's

885
00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:32,917
new cross-dressing ordinance."

886
00:33:33,166 --> 00:33:34,834
And then they lead me away into a holding

887
00:33:34,834 --> 00:33:36,458
cell, and they lock me

888
00:33:36,458 --> 00:33:37,166
up, and they're like...

889
00:33:37,166 --> 00:33:38,500
And then one guy comes in and he says,

890
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:40,542
"Well, you know, they don't process

891
00:33:40,542 --> 00:33:42,583
people downtown until Monday, so you're

892
00:33:42,583 --> 00:33:44,083
going to be in for at least two nights."

893
00:33:44,083 --> 00:33:44,917
Oh, God.

894
00:33:45,417 --> 00:33:48,542
And I'm like...I was scared. I mean,

895
00:33:48,583 --> 00:33:50,583
like, heart-beating fast and left alone,

896
00:33:50,583 --> 00:33:51,834
and the holding cell was cold.

897
00:33:52,166 --> 00:33:54,250
I think I actually cried. I think there

898
00:33:54,250 --> 00:33:55,083
were moments I was there

899
00:33:55,083 --> 00:33:56,041
for about an hour total,

900
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:58,083
and there were plenty of time where they

901
00:33:58,083 --> 00:33:58,750
just left me there

902
00:33:58,750 --> 00:34:00,709
alone with my thoughts.

903
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:03,959
And then finally somebody, another cop

904
00:34:03,959 --> 00:34:06,250
comes and is like, "We decided we're

905
00:34:06,250 --> 00:34:06,792
going to let you go."

906
00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:10,250
I was never charged with anything, so

907
00:34:10,250 --> 00:34:13,417
there's never any permanent record, but I

908
00:34:13,417 --> 00:34:14,583
have seen the inside of a holding cell.

909
00:34:14,792 --> 00:34:16,166
I was on jury duty one time, and they're

910
00:34:16,166 --> 00:34:16,917
interviewing all the

911
00:34:16,917 --> 00:34:18,500
jurors and all of these things.

912
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:19,458
"Have you ever been convicted of a crime?

913
00:34:19,458 --> 00:34:20,083
Have you ever been arrested?"

914
00:34:20,125 --> 00:34:21,125
"I raised my hand, and they asked me to

915
00:34:21,125 --> 00:34:22,583
elaborate. What were you arrested for?"

916
00:34:23,250 --> 00:34:25,250
"I was arrested for bicycling naked in

917
00:34:25,250 --> 00:34:26,375
the Fremont Solstice Parade."

918
00:34:27,375 --> 00:34:29,542
And the juror behind me leans in, we're

919
00:34:29,542 --> 00:34:30,375
sitting on these benches in the

920
00:34:30,375 --> 00:34:31,417
courtroom, he leans in behind me and he

921
00:34:31,417 --> 00:34:32,917
says, "You're my hero."

922
00:34:36,250 --> 00:34:40,208
This is NewsClips Solstice Parade, 1999.

923
00:34:41,125 --> 00:34:42,041
Good evening, everyone.

924
00:34:42,041 --> 00:34:43,458
They say the truth hurts.

925
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,625
Tonight, the Naked Truth could cost

926
00:34:45,625 --> 00:34:46,542
Fremont one of its

927
00:34:46,542 --> 00:34:47,834
most popular traditions.

928
00:34:48,166 --> 00:34:50,166
We're talking, of course, about the

929
00:34:50,166 --> 00:34:52,041
Solstice Parade, which is supposed to be

930
00:34:52,041 --> 00:34:53,333
a celebration of summer.

931
00:34:53,542 --> 00:34:55,083
But tonight it's become a battlefield

932
00:34:55,083 --> 00:34:56,125
over self-expression.

933
00:34:56,750 --> 00:34:57,667
Here are their teens, Lisa Myers.

934
00:34:58,417 --> 00:34:59,417
Well, this bad publicity,

935
00:34:59,750 --> 00:35:01,250
just please go away, thank you.

936
00:35:02,083 --> 00:35:04,250
Can we get anything else talked about on

937
00:35:04,250 --> 00:35:05,542
our fair besides naked

938
00:35:05,542 --> 00:35:07,041
bodies going down the street?

939
00:35:07,917 --> 00:35:10,083
I mean, this was meant to be a very

940
00:35:10,083 --> 00:35:15,750
everybody-friendly parade, and the

941
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:17,417
streakers were a problem.

942
00:35:18,041 --> 00:35:20,166
We even had some flashers,

943
00:35:20,166 --> 00:35:22,208
and they were really a problem.

944
00:35:24,542 --> 00:35:27,291
And then we had the police who got phone

945
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:29,667
calls and got told they had to do

946
00:35:29,667 --> 00:35:30,750
something about this.

947
00:35:31,750 --> 00:35:33,041
Don't block the intersection, sir.

948
00:35:33,625 --> 00:35:36,250
The city wanted us to put up signage that

949
00:35:36,250 --> 00:35:38,917
said that it would allow the police to

950
00:35:38,917 --> 00:35:41,125
arrest people during the parade.

951
00:35:42,125 --> 00:35:44,083
I'm kind of unaware of all the

952
00:35:44,083 --> 00:35:45,917
controversy, except that being naked in

953
00:35:45,917 --> 00:35:47,083
public could get you arrested.

954
00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:49,875
They wanted the Arts Council or the

955
00:35:49,875 --> 00:35:52,083
parade people to participate in stopping

956
00:35:52,083 --> 00:35:54,500
the cyclists or reporting them so they

957
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:55,583
would become arrested.

958
00:35:55,583 --> 00:35:57,750
Last year's Solstice Parade, two men were

959
00:35:57,750 --> 00:35:58,834
arrested for riding

960
00:35:58,834 --> 00:35:59,834
their bikes in the nude.

961
00:36:00,333 --> 00:36:02,166
So there were a lot of parade watches

962
00:36:02,166 --> 00:36:04,250
this year who were waiting to see nude

963
00:36:04,250 --> 00:36:06,000
bikers wearing handcuffs

964
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,125
and not a whole lot else.

965
00:36:07,166 --> 00:36:10,166
By that point, the bikers were becoming a

966
00:36:10,166 --> 00:36:11,083
little bit of an

967
00:36:11,083 --> 00:36:12,917
annoyance to the parade, actually.

968
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:17,583
But we still didn't want to capitulate to

969
00:36:17,583 --> 00:36:18,750
the police and have any

970
00:36:18,750 --> 00:36:20,583
arresting of nude people.

971
00:36:21,667 --> 00:36:26,166
Is it really illegal just to be naked in

972
00:36:26,166 --> 00:36:27,125
public where people can see you?

973
00:36:27,208 --> 00:36:31,917
Are we that strict and repressed as

974
00:36:31,917 --> 00:36:38,375
society that we consider nakedness in and

975
00:36:38,375 --> 00:36:41,083
of itself to be somehow wrong?

976
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:44,125
When it finally came down to the crucial

977
00:36:44,125 --> 00:36:46,709
time, the threat of being arrested pretty

978
00:36:46,709 --> 00:36:48,000
much disappeared along

979
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,083
with the bikers' clothes.

980
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:52,917
You're going to get arrested for that?

981
00:36:53,208 --> 00:36:54,125
Actually, no. They're not.

982
00:36:54,166 --> 00:36:56,291
We never had any problem.

983
00:36:56,709 --> 00:36:57,750
And I don't want any problem.

984
00:36:58,083 --> 00:37:00,500
I guess the official policy of Seattle

985
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:02,458
might be, you know, grin and bear it.

986
00:37:02,625 --> 00:37:05,166
Afternoon, officers. I understand the

987
00:37:05,166 --> 00:37:06,917
department is going to sponsor a naked

988
00:37:06,917 --> 00:37:09,083
motorcycle ride as well in

989
00:37:09,083 --> 00:37:10,041
this parade. Is this true?

990
00:37:12,250 --> 00:37:14,083
If that was up, would you guys be game to

991
00:37:14,083 --> 00:37:15,709
that for the good people of Seattle?

992
00:37:16,083 --> 00:37:16,417
Not me.

993
00:37:17,041 --> 00:37:18,917
How about you, sir? Officer Adcliffe?

994
00:37:20,166 --> 00:37:22,417
Part of the expectation when one goes to

995
00:37:22,417 --> 00:37:24,250
see the Fremont Salsas Parade that

996
00:37:24,250 --> 00:37:25,792
there'll be the naked bicyclists.

997
00:37:26,250 --> 00:37:28,166
For all I know, they may attract as many

998
00:37:28,166 --> 00:37:29,458
people as anybody else for

999
00:37:29,458 --> 00:37:30,709
wanting to go see the parade.

1000
00:37:31,291 --> 00:37:33,250
And that may chafe some at the Arts

1001
00:37:33,250 --> 00:37:35,583
Council, who, you know, that may not be

1002
00:37:35,583 --> 00:37:36,667
their vision of the parade.

1003
00:37:37,375 --> 00:37:39,792
But that is everyone else's vision, and

1004
00:37:39,792 --> 00:37:41,291
that attracts tens of

1005
00:37:41,291 --> 00:37:42,250
thousands of people.

1006
00:37:42,917 --> 00:37:44,583
A lot of people seem to actually be

1007
00:37:44,583 --> 00:37:45,750
coming because of the

1008
00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:47,083
naked cyclists for the parade.

1009
00:37:47,125 --> 00:37:50,875
I think that is a press perception that

1010
00:37:50,875 --> 00:37:53,083
is really, really antiquated.

1011
00:37:53,417 --> 00:37:54,458
How about those bicycle riders?

1012
00:37:54,750 --> 00:37:55,291
It's the best part.

1013
00:37:56,417 --> 00:37:56,959
What do you think?

1014
00:37:57,542 --> 00:37:57,917
They're great.

1015
00:37:58,417 --> 00:37:58,583
They're great.

1016
00:37:58,583 --> 00:37:59,250
Every year it gets better.

1017
00:37:59,875 --> 00:38:00,834
Right here.

1018
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:01,709
Right here.

1019
00:38:02,375 --> 00:38:04,083
I think it's fantastic.

1020
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:05,875
It's great. It's fantastic.

1021
00:38:06,583 --> 00:38:07,792
You look like you would

1022
00:38:07,792 --> 00:38:08,625
take your clothes off.

1023
00:38:09,834 --> 00:38:12,041
You would be gorgeous. You are gorgeous.

1024
00:38:12,375 --> 00:38:13,125
You're all gorgeous.

1025
00:38:13,125 --> 00:38:14,000
Take your clothes off.

1026
00:38:14,834 --> 00:38:16,125
What do you think with clothes on?

1027
00:38:16,166 --> 00:38:16,542
It's a fair play.

1028
00:38:16,875 --> 00:38:17,166
It's an even.

1029
00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:19,083
I tell you, it's sucking.

1030
00:38:20,166 --> 00:38:21,750
In some ways it was a defining

1031
00:38:21,750 --> 00:38:23,917
moment, I think, for Seattle.

1032
00:38:25,125 --> 00:38:27,125
They were the edgiest expression of

1033
00:38:27,125 --> 00:38:28,417
Seattle's creativity.

1034
00:38:29,750 --> 00:38:33,250
And by tolerating them, I think we sent a

1035
00:38:33,250 --> 00:38:35,542
message out that Seattle is a place we

1036
00:38:35,542 --> 00:38:37,375
can come and literally be free.

1037
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:39,667
I love Seattle.

1038
00:38:41,208 --> 00:38:44,083
So there takes a lot of courage to

1039
00:38:44,083 --> 00:38:47,500
certainly ride naked, even

1040
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:48,750
if you're all painted up.

1041
00:38:49,166 --> 00:38:50,875
It's something that takes some courage,

1042
00:38:51,083 --> 00:38:54,542
some willingness to step outside the

1043
00:38:54,542 --> 00:38:58,625
normal track and basically expose

1044
00:38:58,625 --> 00:38:59,625
yourself to criticism.

1045
00:39:01,125 --> 00:39:02,250
Do you think it takes a lot of courage to

1046
00:39:02,250 --> 00:39:03,083
ride naked on a bike in

1047
00:39:03,083 --> 00:39:04,083
front of 100,000 people?

1048
00:39:04,750 --> 00:39:05,750
No, not if you're an idiot.

1049
00:39:07,291 --> 00:39:09,500
So do you really think that the people

1050
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:10,125
who do this are idiots?

1051
00:39:10,125 --> 00:39:12,417
Yeah, I really do.

1052
00:39:14,458 --> 00:39:15,625
Any message for the naked cyclists?

1053
00:39:16,917 --> 00:39:19,250
Go find something more interesting to do.

1054
00:39:27,917 --> 00:39:28,667
We have such short

1055
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:30,250
period of time on Earth.

1056
00:39:30,792 --> 00:39:33,125
I think it's our obligation to experience

1057
00:39:33,125 --> 00:39:34,208
all the possibilities

1058
00:39:34,208 --> 00:39:35,458
that life has to offer.

1059
00:39:36,166 --> 00:39:40,250
But am I ready to be out there painted

1060
00:39:40,250 --> 00:39:43,125
physically in the body I own today?

1061
00:39:48,166 --> 00:39:50,000
I don't want people to be

1062
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,750
put off by what I look like.

1063
00:39:58,291 --> 00:40:01,583
I just have been casting about trying to

1064
00:40:01,583 --> 00:40:04,166
get my head around changing it.

1065
00:40:09,333 --> 00:40:11,959
I mean, we all know that the perfect

1066
00:40:11,959 --> 00:40:15,333
woman's body is, you know, very slim.

1067
00:40:15,583 --> 00:40:17,792
And most of the people in the parade are,

1068
00:40:18,417 --> 00:40:19,625
but not all of them.

1069
00:40:20,834 --> 00:40:24,834
I know that I can lose 25 pounds between

1070
00:40:24,834 --> 00:40:27,291
now and then, and I know I can.

1071
00:40:27,291 --> 00:40:29,166
So that's what I'm planning on doing.

1072
00:40:39,917 --> 00:40:41,083
Four good posture today.

1073
00:40:42,125 --> 00:40:43,375
Two and one.

1074
00:40:44,041 --> 00:40:44,583
Very nice.

1075
00:40:44,917 --> 00:40:45,917
Alright, feeling those legs yet?

1076
00:40:46,041 --> 00:40:46,333
Yeah.

1077
00:40:46,417 --> 00:40:47,834
Alright, do a little kick for me.

1078
00:40:49,250 --> 00:40:50,542
When I look in the mirror, I see a

1079
00:40:50,542 --> 00:40:51,583
completely different body.

1080
00:40:51,583 --> 00:40:52,834
Like the one I see in pictures, I'm like,

1081
00:40:52,834 --> 00:40:53,792
"Oh, hey, that's not so bad."

1082
00:40:54,208 --> 00:40:55,500
But when I look in the mirror, I'm like,

1083
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:56,125
"Oh, I need help

1084
00:40:56,125 --> 00:40:57,208
here, I need help there."

1085
00:40:57,208 --> 00:40:58,500
Like I could have run farther, I could

1086
00:40:58,500 --> 00:40:59,542
have done an extra yoga class.

1087
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
I feel like I have this secret, and that

1088
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,458
is what I look like naked.

1089
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:06,375
As though what I look like naked wouldn't

1090
00:41:06,375 --> 00:41:07,458
compute with what I

1091
00:41:07,458 --> 00:41:08,792
look like in clothing.

1092
00:41:10,959 --> 00:41:12,500
Maybe I'll just do this whenever I'm

1093
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:13,250
comfortable with a naked.

1094
00:41:13,583 --> 00:41:14,291
There you go.

1095
00:41:14,750 --> 00:41:15,667
We can just get a forward bend.

1096
00:41:16,125 --> 00:41:17,333
Uncomfortable at all.

1097
00:41:18,125 --> 00:41:19,583
Bring your hands up to your

1098
00:41:19,583 --> 00:41:20,875
hips and come up flat back.

1099
00:41:21,125 --> 00:41:21,959
Let's go do some biceps.

1100
00:41:22,542 --> 00:41:24,417
Well, you know, that reminds me of, I

1101
00:41:24,417 --> 00:41:26,583
have a lot of clients who don't want to

1102
00:41:26,583 --> 00:41:27,875
do a forward bend like that,

1103
00:41:27,875 --> 00:41:29,375
in front of even me, because they don't

1104
00:41:29,375 --> 00:41:31,083
want to expose their behind.

1105
00:41:31,542 --> 00:41:31,917
Oh, really?

1106
00:41:32,208 --> 00:41:34,709
You just have no idea other people's

1107
00:41:34,709 --> 00:41:36,375
neuroses until you start doing a job.

1108
00:41:36,709 --> 00:41:38,458
I never said I have to be a certain

1109
00:41:38,458 --> 00:41:39,458
weight or a certain height,

1110
00:41:39,458 --> 00:41:41,417
but I somehow bought into the

1111
00:41:41,417 --> 00:41:42,166
conversation, right?

1112
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,583
That's a really interesting way to put it

1113
00:41:44,583 --> 00:41:45,375
about the conversation.

1114
00:41:45,667 --> 00:41:46,959
It's important for us to

1115
00:41:46,959 --> 00:41:48,208
hear what we actually say.

1116
00:41:48,792 --> 00:41:50,083
And sometimes you hear what you say and

1117
00:41:50,083 --> 00:41:52,417
you realize, "Wow, I really think that."

1118
00:41:52,917 --> 00:41:54,417
And just recognizing that you think it

1119
00:41:54,417 --> 00:41:55,500
helps you change it.

1120
00:41:56,583 --> 00:41:57,125
Am I going to leave here

1121
00:41:57,125 --> 00:41:57,750
with a butt like yours?

1122
00:41:59,125 --> 00:42:00,125
All in one session.

1123
00:42:00,125 --> 00:42:02,542
Yes! I love it here.

1124
00:42:03,250 --> 00:42:04,583
I'm going to work today.

1125
00:42:04,959 --> 00:42:05,417
Thanks.

1126
00:42:05,750 --> 00:42:06,417
Good to see you.

1127
00:42:06,417 --> 00:42:07,250
Good to see you too.

1128
00:42:11,166 --> 00:42:12,417
Have you done this before?

1129
00:42:14,041 --> 00:42:14,750
Painted people?

1130
00:42:14,750 --> 00:42:16,250
I've painted people a few times.

1131
00:42:17,250 --> 00:42:17,709
Oh, wow.

1132
00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:19,875
And this is really cool in here.

1133
00:42:19,875 --> 00:42:20,709
Yeah, it's a great place.

1134
00:42:21,417 --> 00:42:22,875
This is my little workspace.

1135
00:42:23,542 --> 00:42:24,917
So tell me what you have in mind.

1136
00:42:25,375 --> 00:42:26,000
Well, of course, you

1137
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:26,125
know, you're the artist.

1138
00:42:26,166 --> 00:42:28,792
So, you know, if this doesn't

1139
00:42:28,792 --> 00:42:30,250
fit your ideas, that's fine.

1140
00:42:30,250 --> 00:42:32,083
That's an important part

1141
00:42:32,083 --> 00:42:33,417
of my job as a tattooer,

1142
00:42:33,417 --> 00:42:36,417
to help people finalize ideas and come up

1143
00:42:36,417 --> 00:42:38,625
with a decision about a design

1144
00:42:38,625 --> 00:42:40,083
or motif that's going to last

1145
00:42:40,083 --> 00:42:41,166
them the rest of their life.

1146
00:42:41,709 --> 00:42:43,083
So how do you do it?

1147
00:42:43,083 --> 00:42:45,083
Do you paint me with a paintbrush or...?

1148
00:42:45,583 --> 00:42:48,709
Well, probably mix up some pigments in a

1149
00:42:48,709 --> 00:42:50,542
dish, some white and some red.

1150
00:42:50,542 --> 00:42:51,750
Here's what I think I'd like to do.

1151
00:42:52,208 --> 00:42:54,000
I'd like to get a big,

1152
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,375
orangish plume and come out here.

1153
00:42:56,375 --> 00:42:58,291
We can go orange and pink together.

1154
00:42:58,542 --> 00:42:58,709
Yeah.

1155
00:42:59,166 --> 00:43:00,959
Nobody says we can't.

1156
00:43:00,959 --> 00:43:01,250
Yeah.

1157
00:43:01,250 --> 00:43:02,875
That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

1158
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:03,458
All right.

1159
00:43:03,458 --> 00:43:06,375
I like the idea of going with a lot of

1160
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:07,750
pink and maybe a bit of coral

1161
00:43:08,166 --> 00:43:09,125
to make the feather

1162
00:43:09,125 --> 00:43:11,834
patterns, but I like the pink theme.

1163
00:43:12,333 --> 00:43:14,250
Can we put glitter on somewhere?

1164
00:43:15,250 --> 00:43:15,458
Probably.

1165
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:18,333
So it's just the hat and the body paint?

1166
00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:21,083
Yeah.

1167
00:43:21,166 --> 00:43:22,083
And the bicycle.

1168
00:43:23,250 --> 00:43:24,709
I wanted to hide myself

1169
00:43:24,709 --> 00:43:26,750
first about, you know,

1170
00:43:26,750 --> 00:43:28,792
because doing this is just a little quite

1171
00:43:28,792 --> 00:43:30,417
embarrassing feeling at first.

1172
00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:31,250
Yeah.

1173
00:43:31,250 --> 00:43:32,250
But I'm becoming more

1174
00:43:32,250 --> 00:43:33,834
comfortable with the idea that...

1175
00:43:34,083 --> 00:43:35,208
Everyone's going to know what's you.

1176
00:43:35,208 --> 00:43:35,750
They're going to know who it is,

1177
00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:37,333
especially if I look like a flamingo.

1178
00:43:37,750 --> 00:43:38,750
Anyone who knows you is

1179
00:43:38,750 --> 00:43:39,709
going to know it's you.

1180
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:40,166
Yeah.

1181
00:43:40,583 --> 00:43:41,750
Do you want to come out and see my car?

1182
00:43:42,417 --> 00:43:43,417
I think it's around the corner.

1183
00:43:52,417 --> 00:43:55,000
I want to capture the

1184
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,625
elegant vibrancy of her life,

1185
00:43:58,125 --> 00:44:01,083
you know, her livingness, but also the

1186
00:44:01,083 --> 00:44:03,959
suggestion of death,

1187
00:44:04,625 --> 00:44:08,709
of her fragile beauty.

1188
00:44:09,583 --> 00:44:12,625
If you want to express certain basic

1189
00:44:12,625 --> 00:44:15,166
human qualities like pathos

1190
00:44:16,166 --> 00:44:21,333
or joy or the kind of majestic gravitas

1191
00:44:21,333 --> 00:44:22,667
that comes with death,

1192
00:44:24,125 --> 00:44:25,875
then you have to paint the nude.

1193
00:44:33,166 --> 00:44:35,000
We have an event here once a month that

1194
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,875
is called the Little Red Studio.

1195
00:44:37,166 --> 00:44:39,917
[MUSIC]

1196
00:44:41,166 --> 00:44:43,583
Folks often go to and enjoy seeing

1197
00:44:43,583 --> 00:44:45,917
something like the Cirque du Soleil,

1198
00:44:45,917 --> 00:44:48,875
where the nudes or the nearly nude are

1199
00:44:48,875 --> 00:44:51,583
idealized beauties, both male and female.

1200
00:44:57,709 --> 00:44:58,917
At Little Red Studio, while there's

1201
00:44:58,917 --> 00:44:59,917
certainly some of that,

1202
00:45:00,250 --> 00:45:01,583
a lot of the folks that

1203
00:45:01,583 --> 00:45:04,583
perform or come and get involved

1204
00:45:05,166 --> 00:45:05,875
are less than

1205
00:45:05,875 --> 00:45:07,625
idealized forms, should we say.

1206
00:45:08,625 --> 00:45:09,750
So it's perfect for

1207
00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:11,959
experiments and experiences,

1208
00:45:12,291 --> 00:45:14,375
like somebody deciding they want to be

1209
00:45:14,375 --> 00:45:17,000
naked in an environment that is safe,

1210
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,458
safe from judgment, at least, and

1211
00:45:19,458 --> 00:45:21,250
allowing people to paint on them.

1212
00:45:23,417 --> 00:45:26,125
I'm certain that a big part of the body

1213
00:45:26,125 --> 00:45:27,250
painting that we do here

1214
00:45:27,250 --> 00:45:29,417
is a ruse for people

1215
00:45:29,417 --> 00:45:30,792
to have something to do

1216
00:45:31,375 --> 00:45:32,750
while they're experiencing

1217
00:45:32,750 --> 00:45:34,750
their own private freak show.

1218
00:45:35,250 --> 00:45:36,583
Like here's the freak of

1219
00:45:36,583 --> 00:45:38,000
a real human being naked

1220
00:45:38,166 --> 00:45:40,375
that they want to look at and are afraid

1221
00:45:40,375 --> 00:45:41,583
to look at at the same time.

1222
00:45:42,667 --> 00:45:44,250
And all kinds of fears, like, is that

1223
00:45:44,250 --> 00:45:45,250
really what I look like?

1224
00:45:45,959 --> 00:45:48,375
Does my butt really hang like that?

1225
00:45:48,875 --> 00:45:51,250
Do my boobs really look like that?

1226
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,542
There's all this internal sort of

1227
00:45:53,542 --> 00:45:54,834
comparing and contrasting,

1228
00:45:55,417 --> 00:45:58,000
but yet there's the playful veneer of,

1229
00:45:58,583 --> 00:46:00,125
oh, we're just dubbing paint on

1230
00:46:00,166 --> 00:46:02,917
and it gives them something to rest on.

1231
00:46:03,917 --> 00:46:04,792
And I think in the

1232
00:46:04,792 --> 00:46:06,291
end, the playful activity

1233
00:46:06,291 --> 00:46:08,417
and the spirit of community carries them

1234
00:46:08,417 --> 00:46:09,250
through those fears.

1235
00:46:09,875 --> 00:46:11,250
Ahh.

1236
00:46:11,542 --> 00:46:12,917
It's a little focus here.

1237
00:46:13,208 --> 00:46:15,542
You don't feel naked anymore, do you?

1238
00:46:18,250 --> 00:46:18,875
Hey, Jeffrey.

1239
00:46:19,166 --> 00:46:20,208
How you doing?

1240
00:46:20,208 --> 00:46:21,333
I'm good. Nice to see you.

1241
00:46:21,333 --> 00:46:22,041
It's good seeing you.

1242
00:46:22,250 --> 00:46:22,917
Glad you came over.

1243
00:46:23,333 --> 00:46:25,417
It's a great thing back here.

1244
00:46:25,417 --> 00:46:26,875
It's been, I don't know, how many years

1245
00:46:26,875 --> 00:46:28,000
since I've been in your studio.

1246
00:46:28,291 --> 00:46:29,125
Yeah. Well, welcome back.

1247
00:46:29,166 --> 00:46:30,709
Let's go inside.

1248
00:46:30,709 --> 00:46:31,542
Let's go to it. Okay.

1249
00:46:34,875 --> 00:46:35,959
Well, here we are.

1250
00:46:36,333 --> 00:46:36,542
Yeah.

1251
00:46:37,166 --> 00:46:38,208
Jeffrey, it's only a

1252
00:46:38,208 --> 00:46:39,375
couple of weeks away now.

1253
00:46:39,375 --> 00:46:39,709
I know.

1254
00:46:40,041 --> 00:46:40,542
Have a seat.

1255
00:46:40,834 --> 00:46:41,041
Okay.

1256
00:46:41,542 --> 00:46:42,375
And maybe get started.

1257
00:46:42,875 --> 00:46:43,083
Okay.

1258
00:46:43,667 --> 00:46:45,417
So do you have specific ideas?

1259
00:46:46,166 --> 00:46:46,750
Yeah, I do.

1260
00:46:47,166 --> 00:46:48,917
I know you as a gardener.

1261
00:46:49,834 --> 00:46:52,083
And I love painting plants anyway.

1262
00:46:52,291 --> 00:46:54,959
There's one plant, and it's

1263
00:46:54,959 --> 00:46:56,458
bergmansia, angel's trumpet.

1264
00:46:56,583 --> 00:46:57,083
There's a much better floating herb.

1265
00:46:57,083 --> 00:46:58,125
Oh, I know the plant.

1266
00:46:58,208 --> 00:47:00,166
One of the things that's exciting to me

1267
00:47:00,166 --> 00:47:01,667
about this is that while

1268
00:47:01,667 --> 00:47:03,250
we do body painting, almost,

1269
00:47:04,208 --> 00:47:05,834
it seems like every week here, where

1270
00:47:05,834 --> 00:47:07,417
people are just kind of experiencing

1271
00:47:07,417 --> 00:47:10,041
painting on the body for the first time.

1272
00:47:10,375 --> 00:47:12,041
So it has a kind of

1273
00:47:12,041 --> 00:47:13,417
kindergarten-like quality about it.

1274
00:47:13,667 --> 00:47:16,208
But there's an opportunity here in

1275
00:47:16,208 --> 00:47:19,083
working with you for the parade to do

1276
00:47:19,083 --> 00:47:21,667
something of a different order of

1277
00:47:21,667 --> 00:47:23,125
magnitude and artistic merit.

1278
00:47:23,166 --> 00:47:25,333
You're going to be pretty

1279
00:47:25,333 --> 00:47:27,083
much a walking piece of art.

1280
00:47:27,917 --> 00:47:29,583
At least that's my intention.

1281
00:47:43,417 --> 00:47:44,542
I started fire

1282
00:47:44,542 --> 00:47:47,500
dancing about 13 years ago.

1283
00:47:47,917 --> 00:47:49,250
And once I learned how to fire dance, I

1284
00:47:49,250 --> 00:47:49,875
realized there was

1285
00:47:49,875 --> 00:47:51,166
this option to dress up.

1286
00:47:52,166 --> 00:47:56,500
So this collection is 13 years worth of

1287
00:47:56,500 --> 00:47:58,291
costumes that you've accumulated?

1288
00:47:58,709 --> 00:47:59,125
Mm-hmm. It is.

1289
00:48:01,750 --> 00:48:03,458
So in less than a month, I'm going to be

1290
00:48:03,458 --> 00:48:04,875
riding a bike for the first time in the

1291
00:48:04,875 --> 00:48:05,792
Fremont Solstice Parade.

1292
00:48:06,667 --> 00:48:09,667
And I've been having sort of creative

1293
00:48:09,667 --> 00:48:12,458
dilemmas about how exactly I want to

1294
00:48:12,458 --> 00:48:14,583
portray myself on the bike ride.

1295
00:48:15,083 --> 00:48:15,625
And nothing else?

1296
00:48:16,083 --> 00:48:17,125
And nothing else. Yeah.

1297
00:48:18,917 --> 00:48:20,583
I know there are people that just jump on

1298
00:48:20,583 --> 00:48:22,083
a bike and go, and there are people who

1299
00:48:22,083 --> 00:48:24,166
go all out and do head-to-toe body paint.

1300
00:48:25,417 --> 00:48:27,083
I've been thinking of a couple of

1301
00:48:27,083 --> 00:48:28,709
different options that are maybe

1302
00:48:28,709 --> 00:48:30,083
somewhere in between.

1303
00:48:31,208 --> 00:48:33,166
I'm still interested in the idea of body

1304
00:48:33,166 --> 00:48:34,500
paint, but the reason that I like it is

1305
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:37,041
because it could be beautiful and it

1306
00:48:37,041 --> 00:48:38,667
could be expressive.

1307
00:48:39,500 --> 00:48:41,291
But there's also a part of me that is

1308
00:48:41,291 --> 00:48:44,166
thinking of maybe doing some other kind

1309
00:48:44,166 --> 00:48:46,583
of minimal decoration or something else

1310
00:48:46,583 --> 00:48:47,417
that's interesting but

1311
00:48:47,417 --> 00:48:48,458
not necessarily paint.

1312
00:48:49,083 --> 00:48:50,500
I don't know. It doesn't really resonate

1313
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:52,792
with me as far as just, "Okay, I put some

1314
00:48:52,792 --> 00:48:54,000
color on my skin and now

1315
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,250
I'm ready to ride my bike."

1316
00:48:55,250 --> 00:48:56,959
I actually have an idea for you. It's

1317
00:48:56,959 --> 00:48:57,417
actually really

1318
00:48:57,417 --> 00:48:58,875
beautiful. I'm going to show you.

1319
00:48:59,250 --> 00:49:02,041
There's this product. And you can put

1320
00:49:02,041 --> 00:49:03,750
this all over your body, and it's great

1321
00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:05,166
because it goes on really fine.

1322
00:49:05,208 --> 00:49:07,250
And you can still see your skin tone

1323
00:49:07,250 --> 00:49:09,917
through it. I don't know. It

1324
00:49:09,917 --> 00:49:12,083
just... Your skin comes through.

1325
00:49:12,083 --> 00:49:13,375
Yeah, you see the beauty of the skin.

1326
00:49:13,792 --> 00:49:15,834
So I would love to help you, but part of

1327
00:49:15,834 --> 00:49:17,000
what I love to do is

1328
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,250
really help people look sexy.

1329
00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:22,625
And there's a lot of people who are in

1330
00:49:22,625 --> 00:49:23,959
the parade who kind of

1331
00:49:23,959 --> 00:49:25,458
take a funny edge to it.

1332
00:49:25,792 --> 00:49:28,750
Are you going to feel comfortable being

1333
00:49:28,750 --> 00:49:31,166
sexy and being sensual? Is that something

1334
00:49:31,166 --> 00:49:34,125
that... How does that feel to you?

1335
00:49:34,166 --> 00:49:38,083
Well, there's a part of me that was

1336
00:49:38,083 --> 00:49:39,208
inclined to sort of hide

1337
00:49:39,208 --> 00:49:40,917
behind the paint like everyone else.

1338
00:49:41,125 --> 00:49:43,750
I had a really dark winter, and I wasn't

1339
00:49:43,750 --> 00:49:45,083
feeling very good about myself.

1340
00:49:46,250 --> 00:49:49,417
And my inner judge and my inner critic,

1341
00:49:50,208 --> 00:49:52,250
as well as some external criticism around

1342
00:49:52,250 --> 00:49:54,166
me, was just really, really loud in my

1343
00:49:54,166 --> 00:49:55,583
ears to the point that I just couldn't

1344
00:49:55,583 --> 00:49:57,625
really see the things about

1345
00:49:57,625 --> 00:49:59,250
me anymore that were awesome.

1346
00:50:00,166 --> 00:50:02,625
It would be a bolder statement for me to

1347
00:50:02,625 --> 00:50:05,709
really go all out and adorn myself and

1348
00:50:05,709 --> 00:50:08,625
just do something with a phenomenal

1349
00:50:08,625 --> 00:50:11,333
costume and step out of the mold a little

1350
00:50:11,333 --> 00:50:14,625
bit as far as the usual paint goes.

1351
00:50:15,291 --> 00:50:18,125
But I think it's a go big or go home

1352
00:50:18,125 --> 00:50:20,250
situation. I think that it's something

1353
00:50:20,250 --> 00:50:23,917
that... I think I would feel

1354
00:50:23,917 --> 00:50:26,917
bare if it were just my body.

1355
00:50:28,417 --> 00:50:30,542
Definitely get naked. Go big or go home.

1356
00:50:30,542 --> 00:50:33,917
Exactly. For the first time. In front of

1357
00:50:33,917 --> 00:50:34,750
a hundred thousand people.

1358
00:50:35,417 --> 00:50:36,208
Sounds really good.

1359
00:50:36,208 --> 00:50:38,125
Okay, perfect. Thank you. Oh, this has

1360
00:50:38,125 --> 00:50:39,083
been great. All right.

1361
00:50:39,417 --> 00:50:40,291
I'll see you next week.

1362
00:50:40,959 --> 00:50:42,375
Thanks. You're welcome.

1363
00:50:42,959 --> 00:50:43,583
Have a safe drive.

1364
00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:48,208
When they sit down to eat, do they eat

1365
00:50:48,208 --> 00:50:51,542
naked? And do they prepare

1366
00:50:51,542 --> 00:50:53,959
their food naked? Definitely.

1367
00:50:54,291 --> 00:50:54,917
Definitely.

1368
00:50:55,166 --> 00:50:57,250
And then, you know, like

1369
00:50:57,250 --> 00:50:59,166
indoors, they're sharing chairs.

1370
00:51:00,125 --> 00:51:02,041
I think they have towels for that.

1371
00:51:02,542 --> 00:51:04,208
Do they sit on the towel?

1372
00:51:04,208 --> 00:51:05,083
I mean, does everyone see?

1373
00:51:05,458 --> 00:51:06,375
So we're going to have

1374
00:51:06,375 --> 00:51:07,542
to find out from Dawnzella.

1375
00:51:10,500 --> 00:51:12,750
We're not getting naked. We're just

1376
00:51:12,750 --> 00:51:13,583
getting tips about

1377
00:51:13,583 --> 00:51:14,750
being naked from the pros.

1378
00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:17,917
What if we get greeted by naked people?

1379
00:51:18,333 --> 00:51:19,000
That would be awesome.

1380
00:51:19,875 --> 00:51:20,375
Hi, Sarah.

1381
00:51:20,625 --> 00:51:22,375
Hi there. We're here to meet Dawnzella.

1382
00:51:22,875 --> 00:51:24,125
We're going to meet Dawnzella.

1383
00:51:25,166 --> 00:51:27,125
I'm not sure your name is.

1384
00:51:27,125 --> 00:51:27,792
Lisa Cooper.

1385
00:51:28,208 --> 00:51:28,917
Oh, you're here doing

1386
00:51:28,917 --> 00:51:30,166
movies or something? Yeah.

1387
00:51:30,166 --> 00:51:31,667
Well, welcome. I'm glad you're here.

1388
00:51:31,667 --> 00:51:32,583
How's it going? My name's Tom.

1389
00:51:32,583 --> 00:51:33,417
Yeah, thanks for having us.

1390
00:51:34,166 --> 00:51:34,792
Should we just go and

1391
00:51:34,792 --> 00:51:35,917
pull in and park by there?

1392
00:51:36,250 --> 00:51:37,250
Yeah, and it might be

1393
00:51:37,250 --> 00:51:37,750
here in the clubhouse.

1394
00:51:38,166 --> 00:51:39,333
Okay. Great. Thank you.

1395
00:51:39,583 --> 00:51:40,583
All right. I'll try to

1396
00:51:40,583 --> 00:51:42,417
give her a call. Go get her.

1397
00:51:42,417 --> 00:51:43,792
That was awesome.

1398
00:51:44,250 --> 00:51:46,041
That was great. That was my first nudist.

1399
00:51:49,125 --> 00:51:50,083
I need a minute to recover.

1400
00:51:57,083 --> 00:51:58,000
This is our store.

1401
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:58,583
You're supposed to be

1402
00:51:58,583 --> 00:51:59,917
open today, but yeah.

1403
00:52:00,250 --> 00:52:02,375
Hey, look in their calendar. Fremont

1404
00:52:02,375 --> 00:52:04,417
Fair, 18th and 19th.

1405
00:52:04,417 --> 00:52:06,583
Ava, would you like to...

1406
00:52:06,959 --> 00:52:07,709
You want to give the...

1407
00:52:09,041 --> 00:52:10,125
First of all, my name's Tom.

1408
00:52:10,458 --> 00:52:10,667
Hi.

1409
00:52:10,875 --> 00:52:12,125
This is the Welcome Center. Everybody

1410
00:52:12,125 --> 00:52:13,709
comes and checks in here first.

1411
00:52:13,709 --> 00:52:14,709
Didn't I not catch you up

1412
00:52:14,709 --> 00:52:15,792
in the whole story here?

1413
00:52:15,792 --> 00:52:15,959
I don't think so.

1414
00:52:15,959 --> 00:52:17,166
These four are going to ride

1415
00:52:17,166 --> 00:52:19,417
nude in the Fremont parade.

1416
00:52:19,417 --> 00:52:21,291
Oh, the first time I've ever been nude.

1417
00:52:21,834 --> 00:52:22,125
Yeah, I've done that.

1418
00:52:22,166 --> 00:52:25,625
That's just a fantastical fun.

1419
00:52:26,083 --> 00:52:28,583
Okay. The number one rule for a nudist is

1420
00:52:28,583 --> 00:52:30,417
to sit on a towel at all times.

1421
00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:32,291
You never sit on any kind

1422
00:52:32,291 --> 00:52:33,583
of surface without a towel.

1423
00:52:33,583 --> 00:52:35,083
You don't sit on anybody else's blanket

1424
00:52:35,083 --> 00:52:36,083
unless you know them and

1425
00:52:36,083 --> 00:52:37,166
they have said it's okay.

1426
00:52:37,667 --> 00:52:38,208
You know, we're really

1427
00:52:38,208 --> 00:52:39,500
big on boundaries here.

1428
00:52:39,500 --> 00:52:41,166
You know, act like you went anywhere else

1429
00:52:41,166 --> 00:52:41,959
with your clothes on.

1430
00:52:41,959 --> 00:52:42,959
You just aren't wearing any.

1431
00:52:43,458 --> 00:52:45,125
That did raise one more question though.

1432
00:52:45,125 --> 00:52:46,417
That's the second reason for carrying a

1433
00:52:46,417 --> 00:52:47,458
towel, especially for men.

1434
00:52:48,333 --> 00:52:49,709
The chafing type of thing?

1435
00:52:49,709 --> 00:52:50,125
No, no.

1436
00:52:50,166 --> 00:52:51,291
The Bob and Bob and Bob and Bob.

1437
00:52:51,291 --> 00:52:51,583
Yeah.

1438
00:52:51,583 --> 00:52:52,417
You get it covered up when

1439
00:52:52,417 --> 00:52:53,125
it's necessary to cover it up.

1440
00:52:53,125 --> 00:52:54,375
Yeah, because the guys, you

1441
00:52:54,375 --> 00:52:57,291
know, that I think that they're,

1442
00:52:57,291 --> 00:52:59,291
we're told that they have those, those

1443
00:52:59,291 --> 00:53:00,792
things have a mind of their own.

1444
00:53:00,792 --> 00:53:02,750
I still, I think the jury's

1445
00:53:02,750 --> 00:53:03,917
out on that, but you know what?

1446
00:53:03,917 --> 00:53:06,250
I don't have one, so I don't know.

1447
00:53:06,750 --> 00:53:08,583
But usually when that type

1448
00:53:08,583 --> 00:53:09,750
of thing happens, you know,

1449
00:53:09,750 --> 00:53:11,917
that's what your towel's for or lay on

1450
00:53:11,917 --> 00:53:12,959
your tummy for a while.

1451
00:53:12,959 --> 00:53:15,250
Maybe think about basketball or whatever

1452
00:53:15,250 --> 00:53:16,583
boys think about when they

1453
00:53:16,583 --> 00:53:18,166
need to not be thinking about it.

1454
00:53:19,166 --> 00:53:21,875
That was one of my biggest fears in doing

1455
00:53:21,875 --> 00:53:24,291
the bike ride is like, okay,

1456
00:53:24,709 --> 00:53:25,625
it's going to be cold.

1457
00:53:25,625 --> 00:53:26,417
I'll be shrinkage.

1458
00:53:26,417 --> 00:53:28,250
And if it's, if I look at the right

1459
00:53:28,250 --> 00:53:30,500
person, there might not be shrinkage.

1460
00:53:31,667 --> 00:53:34,375
You get people in a, in a much happier

1461
00:53:34,375 --> 00:53:35,750
frame of mind when they're naked.

1462
00:53:36,208 --> 00:53:36,583
Yeah.

1463
00:53:36,583 --> 00:53:38,125
I mean, if you're a jerk with your

1464
00:53:38,125 --> 00:53:38,709
clothes on, you're going

1465
00:53:38,709 --> 00:53:39,834
to be a jerk naked too.

1466
00:53:39,834 --> 00:53:40,667
I mean, come on.

1467
00:53:40,917 --> 00:53:41,083
Yeah.

1468
00:53:41,750 --> 00:53:44,083
I think for me, the reason I like being a

1469
00:53:44,083 --> 00:53:45,125
nudist is, you know,

1470
00:53:45,166 --> 00:53:46,834
society tells women that

1471
00:53:46,834 --> 00:53:48,166
you should look like this.

1472
00:53:48,166 --> 00:53:49,709
You've got to look like this or you

1473
00:53:49,709 --> 00:53:51,083
really should feel bad about yourself and

1474
00:53:51,083 --> 00:53:52,125
go sit in a hole somewhere.

1475
00:53:52,750 --> 00:53:54,125
And so you got all these women walking

1476
00:53:54,125 --> 00:53:55,542
around feeling like crap.

1477
00:53:56,250 --> 00:53:58,083
And I come up here and

1478
00:53:58,083 --> 00:53:59,250
I get to be Dawnzella.

1479
00:53:59,250 --> 00:54:00,166
It has nothing to do

1480
00:54:00,166 --> 00:54:01,000
with what I look like.

1481
00:54:01,250 --> 00:54:04,000
Nothing, you know, and that's in it.

1482
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,083
And I get, I'm, I look in

1483
00:54:05,083 --> 00:54:05,750
the mirror in the morning.

1484
00:54:05,750 --> 00:54:06,792
I go, good to go.

1485
00:54:06,792 --> 00:54:07,208
Right on.

1486
00:54:08,250 --> 00:54:09,083
It's really easy.

1487
00:54:09,083 --> 00:54:10,875
You go like this, you drop your pants.

1488
00:54:11,542 --> 00:54:12,917
Where's your underwear?

1489
00:54:13,166 --> 00:54:15,208
[Laughter]

1490
00:54:16,583 --> 00:54:17,417
I don't like to wear it.

1491
00:54:17,917 --> 00:54:18,375
Welcome.

1492
00:54:19,291 --> 00:54:20,166
Yes, I am.

1493
00:54:20,166 --> 00:54:20,917
Can you go down the slide?

1494
00:54:21,667 --> 00:54:22,667
Here she goes.

1495
00:54:22,667 --> 00:54:23,083
Whoo!

1496
00:54:29,125 --> 00:54:31,917
Oh, it's like I've known you all my life.

1497
00:54:32,750 --> 00:54:33,083
Bye, Tom.

1498
00:54:33,083 --> 00:54:33,959
See you guys everywhere.

1499
00:54:34,417 --> 00:54:35,250
Have a good time.

1500
00:54:35,250 --> 00:54:36,250
We'll see you again, I'm sure.

1501
00:54:36,625 --> 00:54:37,250
Thank you, Tom.

1502
00:54:37,375 --> 00:54:38,083
You're so good.

1503
00:54:38,583 --> 00:54:39,083
Thank you.

1504
00:54:39,083 --> 00:54:39,917
You're going to take a hug too.

1505
00:54:40,166 --> 00:54:40,417
Yes, sir.

1506
00:54:40,750 --> 00:54:42,166
I wouldn't think of anything of a favor.

1507
00:54:42,166 --> 00:54:42,583
Bye.

1508
00:54:43,083 --> 00:54:43,375
Bye.

1509
00:54:44,166 --> 00:54:45,375
Bye.

1510
00:54:52,750 --> 00:54:57,709
So what's going on here is we're having

1511
00:54:57,709 --> 00:54:59,208
our first meetup for

1512
00:54:59,208 --> 00:55:00,709
the Painted Cyclists that

1513
00:55:00,709 --> 00:55:02,625
will ride on June 18th.

1514
00:55:02,625 --> 00:55:05,583
I have put 40 hours into this event so

1515
00:55:05,583 --> 00:55:07,125
far and I'm not even getting paid.

1516
00:55:07,166 --> 00:55:10,125
And I'm starting to feel like everyone

1517
00:55:10,125 --> 00:55:11,333
has all these opinions

1518
00:55:11,333 --> 00:55:12,458
and comments but they're

1519
00:55:12,458 --> 00:55:13,291
not willing to step

1520
00:55:13,291 --> 00:55:14,583
forward and do the work.

1521
00:55:15,041 --> 00:55:16,917
No, no, I don't agree with that.

1522
00:55:17,250 --> 00:55:17,750
Is that true here?

1523
00:55:18,208 --> 00:55:19,125
Well, you were saying that

1524
00:55:19,125 --> 00:55:21,250
you work 40 hours for free.

1525
00:55:21,250 --> 00:55:23,375
A lot of us do a lot of work for free.

1526
00:55:23,834 --> 00:55:24,542
If you want to be

1527
00:55:24,542 --> 00:55:26,250
accountable, it's helping.

1528
00:55:26,583 --> 00:55:27,417
I have been helping.

1529
00:55:28,166 --> 00:55:29,709
I made the map last year.

1530
00:55:29,709 --> 00:55:30,375
I'm also accountable.

1531
00:55:30,834 --> 00:55:31,583
I made that map.

1532
00:55:32,166 --> 00:55:33,875
I'm not saying you haven't.

1533
00:55:33,875 --> 00:55:34,875
I'm just saying that--

1534
00:55:35,166 --> 00:55:35,625
You didn't ask me to take

1535
00:55:35,625 --> 00:55:36,667
responsibility in one you.

1536
00:55:36,917 --> 00:55:37,166
I just did.

1537
00:55:37,709 --> 00:55:38,583
I invited you.

1538
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:41,500
It seems like you're upset with me.

1539
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:42,583
I'm not upset with you.

1540
00:55:42,583 --> 00:55:43,875
And I'm like, wow,

1541
00:55:44,125 --> 00:55:45,291
what is she upset about?

1542
00:55:46,125 --> 00:55:49,333
So I want to welcome all of you to the

1543
00:55:49,333 --> 00:55:50,792
Painted Solstice meeting.

1544
00:55:51,333 --> 00:55:53,625
I have to tell you, I really don't find

1545
00:55:53,625 --> 00:55:54,875
this to be an anarchist

1546
00:55:54,875 --> 00:55:56,917
group no longer because

1547
00:55:57,125 --> 00:55:59,250
anarchy means no organization.

1548
00:56:00,125 --> 00:56:02,875
And I personally have about 40 hours of

1549
00:56:02,875 --> 00:56:04,000
my thoughts and times

1550
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,417
and energy into organizing

1551
00:56:05,417 --> 00:56:06,542
for this year's event.

1552
00:56:06,750 --> 00:56:08,917
The reality is, to rent the

1553
00:56:08,917 --> 00:56:10,625
indoor space, we have to pay.

1554
00:56:10,625 --> 00:56:11,583
We have to get insurance.

1555
00:56:11,917 --> 00:56:12,667
We have to have a

1556
00:56:12,667 --> 00:56:15,041
dumpster and quarter potties.

1557
00:56:15,542 --> 00:56:17,375
And all of that costs money.

1558
00:56:18,166 --> 00:56:20,750
It seems to me, only having been here for

1559
00:56:20,750 --> 00:56:22,125
one year, that the

1560
00:56:22,125 --> 00:56:23,709
whole concept of this group

1561
00:56:23,709 --> 00:56:25,375
is not you have to pay.

1562
00:56:25,625 --> 00:56:26,750
I mean, I agree with you.

1563
00:56:26,750 --> 00:56:28,125
I don't want to have to charge money.

1564
00:56:28,166 --> 00:56:31,166
But there's a trust factor here going on.

1565
00:56:31,583 --> 00:56:33,083
I think it's set the same donation.

1566
00:56:33,458 --> 00:56:35,417
We should say required donation.

1567
00:56:35,917 --> 00:56:38,583
If you require it, it's not a donation.

1568
00:56:39,083 --> 00:56:41,083
Are there people sitting here in this

1569
00:56:41,083 --> 00:56:42,458
group that would be

1570
00:56:42,458 --> 00:56:44,500
willing to put up $100 in seed

1571
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:44,875
money?

1572
00:56:46,333 --> 00:56:47,583
One, two, three, four.

1573
00:56:47,583 --> 00:56:47,917
Great.

1574
00:56:48,166 --> 00:56:49,166
That's half of what we

1575
00:56:49,166 --> 00:56:50,250
have to put down as a deposit.

1576
00:56:50,250 --> 00:56:52,583
I'm actually willing to put up the full

1577
00:56:52,583 --> 00:56:53,625
upfront cost of myself.

1578
00:56:53,959 --> 00:56:54,750
What I'm getting is that

1579
00:56:54,750 --> 00:56:55,834
we're going through the indoor?

1580
00:56:56,166 --> 00:56:57,041
Yeah.

1581
00:56:57,875 --> 00:57:02,000
One final thing that I just remembered.

1582
00:57:02,709 --> 00:57:05,542
Please, please, please tell people to

1583
00:57:05,542 --> 00:57:07,834
paint themselves and create costumes.

1584
00:57:08,291 --> 00:57:10,250
So if you see somebody at the paint party

1585
00:57:10,250 --> 00:57:11,917
who's just like, I'm

1586
00:57:11,917 --> 00:57:12,917
done and they're nude

1587
00:57:12,917 --> 00:57:14,583
and they have one little hand print,

1588
00:57:15,792 --> 00:57:17,417
nicely encourage them

1589
00:57:17,417 --> 00:57:18,917
to put some more paint on

1590
00:57:19,125 --> 00:57:21,583
because the idea is we're painted

1591
00:57:21,583 --> 00:57:23,709
cyclists, not nude cyclists.

1592
00:57:27,166 --> 00:57:30,166
What do you think?

1593
00:57:30,166 --> 00:57:30,542
I don't know.

1594
00:57:30,834 --> 00:57:31,583
Is that going to...

1595
00:57:32,208 --> 00:57:33,041
We can make it work.

1596
00:57:33,041 --> 00:57:33,583
I think so.

1597
00:57:34,250 --> 00:57:35,417
The doctor's in the house.

1598
00:57:37,792 --> 00:57:39,041
Okay, first things first.

1599
00:57:39,583 --> 00:57:40,458
You think you're going to

1600
00:57:40,458 --> 00:57:41,291
be able to use this chain?

1601
00:57:41,500 --> 00:57:41,875
No way.

1602
00:57:41,875 --> 00:57:42,625
No, I'm not going to use it.

1603
00:57:42,625 --> 00:57:43,208
You're going to use it.

1604
00:57:44,166 --> 00:57:45,750
Yeah, this thing's beat though.

1605
00:57:45,750 --> 00:57:46,917
No way you have to replace that?

1606
00:57:46,917 --> 00:57:48,875
You're going for a 20 minute ride.

1607
00:57:50,250 --> 00:57:51,750
Yeah, but I don't want any breakdowns.

1608
00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:51,959
Sure.

1609
00:57:52,250 --> 00:57:53,750
So this is the original bike

1610
00:57:53,750 --> 00:57:55,125
that I rode with 20 years ago.

1611
00:57:55,166 --> 00:57:57,959
Yeah, that looks like it, doesn't it?

1612
00:57:57,959 --> 00:58:01,208
It certainly looks like it.

1613
00:58:01,208 --> 00:58:01,917
There we go.

1614
00:58:01,917 --> 00:58:02,583
I'll let it still work.

1615
00:58:05,291 --> 00:58:05,917
Nice.

1616
00:58:06,083 --> 00:58:06,959
Yeah, it's a little better.

1617
00:58:09,542 --> 00:58:10,333
So, you know, I'm

1618
00:58:10,333 --> 00:58:12,583
bothered by this whole issue.

1619
00:58:12,917 --> 00:58:13,834
That's the first time I've heard it.

1620
00:58:13,834 --> 00:58:14,750
They're a paint painted thing?

1621
00:58:14,750 --> 00:58:16,291
Yeah, and I'm like, who takes it upon

1622
00:58:16,291 --> 00:58:18,083
themselves to make that request?

1623
00:58:18,166 --> 00:58:20,041
I kind of wondered the same thing that...

1624
00:58:21,125 --> 00:58:22,583
Because that's not the spirit of it.

1625
00:58:22,583 --> 00:58:23,125
Not at all.

1626
00:58:23,166 --> 00:58:23,500
Yeah.

1627
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:24,458
I mean, are they now

1628
00:58:24,458 --> 00:58:25,542
an organized faction?

1629
00:58:26,166 --> 00:58:26,709
Apparently so.

1630
00:58:27,166 --> 00:58:29,041
That's what I hear through the grapevine.

1631
00:58:29,750 --> 00:58:31,834
Take something free and put a tag on it.

1632
00:58:32,166 --> 00:58:33,458
That's what they're doing.

1633
00:58:33,458 --> 00:58:33,750
I'm sorry.

1634
00:58:34,917 --> 00:58:35,583
Yeah, I don't...

1635
00:58:36,417 --> 00:58:37,000
Hmm.

1636
00:58:37,750 --> 00:58:39,583
It's going to cost $10 to get into the

1637
00:58:39,583 --> 00:58:40,750
place where you get painted.

1638
00:58:41,083 --> 00:58:41,250
What?

1639
00:58:41,625 --> 00:58:42,083
$10?

1640
00:58:42,417 --> 00:58:43,041
Are you kidding me?

1641
00:58:43,041 --> 00:58:43,250
No.

1642
00:58:43,959 --> 00:58:46,041
You can get naked for nothing.

1643
00:58:46,709 --> 00:58:48,875
I personally do not condone any exchange

1644
00:58:48,875 --> 00:58:50,417
of money whatsoever to go

1645
00:58:50,417 --> 00:58:52,583
ride in the parade naked.

1646
00:58:53,667 --> 00:58:53,834
Yeah.

1647
00:58:54,208 --> 00:58:54,375
Period.

1648
00:58:54,542 --> 00:58:54,917
If you're doing that, you're wrong.

1649
00:58:54,917 --> 00:58:56,750
Well, I would save the $10 and buy beer

1650
00:58:56,750 --> 00:58:57,875
after I'm in the place.

1651
00:58:58,166 --> 00:59:00,417
Exactly. There's some good fish and chips.

1652
00:59:00,417 --> 00:59:00,709
There's a...

1653
00:59:00,917 --> 00:59:01,291
Come on.

1654
00:59:07,166 --> 00:59:07,583
There you go.

1655
00:59:08,166 --> 00:59:08,792
We've been working on

1656
00:59:08,792 --> 00:59:09,959
this thing since February.

1657
00:59:10,250 --> 00:59:12,542
Trying to get permits secured, all of our

1658
00:59:12,542 --> 00:59:15,125
production pieces, radios, barricades.

1659
00:59:15,750 --> 00:59:15,917
Yeah.

1660
00:59:16,333 --> 00:59:19,083
The whole ball of waxes is really quite

1661
00:59:19,083 --> 00:59:21,125
an effort to make the parade happen.

1662
00:59:21,166 --> 00:59:22,083
Okay.

1663
00:59:22,917 --> 00:59:23,625
A little bit further,

1664
00:59:23,625 --> 00:59:24,291
a little bit further.

1665
00:59:24,750 --> 00:59:25,417
A little bit more.

1666
00:59:25,917 --> 00:59:26,542
A little bit more.

1667
00:59:27,125 --> 00:59:27,625
Yeah, perfect.

1668
00:59:27,917 --> 00:59:28,250
That's it.

1669
00:59:28,750 --> 00:59:30,375
And, you know, with our communications

1670
00:59:30,375 --> 00:59:31,709
with the painted cyclists,

1671
00:59:31,917 --> 00:59:32,834
we just hope that they're

1672
00:59:32,834 --> 00:59:35,166
understanding that because truly they are

1673
00:59:35,166 --> 00:59:36,000
an official part of

1674
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:36,750
the parade whether they

1675
00:59:36,750 --> 00:59:37,750
want to believe it or not.

1676
00:59:38,667 --> 00:59:40,417
But we also want them to recognize the

1677
00:59:40,417 --> 00:59:41,667
cost and the effort

1678
00:59:41,667 --> 00:59:43,250
that goes into producing a

1679
00:59:43,250 --> 00:59:45,000
parade that they get to take part in.

1680
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:45,500
It's going to be...

1681
00:59:45,667 --> 00:59:45,959
I don't know what we're

1682
00:59:45,959 --> 00:59:46,583
going to do about the force.

1683
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:47,792
You know, being in

1684
00:59:47,792 --> 00:59:49,542
public naked is still illegal.

1685
00:59:50,125 --> 00:59:51,917
And in order to get our permits secured,

1686
00:59:52,625 --> 00:59:54,834
we let the authorities

1687
00:59:54,834 --> 00:59:56,250
and powers be that know

1688
00:59:56,333 --> 00:59:57,750
that we are actually...

1689
00:59:57,750 --> 00:59:58,834
It's an art form expression.

1690
00:59:59,083 --> 01:00:00,583
That's why they're all painted.

1691
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,917
Any cyclist hitting the route that does

1692
01:00:02,917 --> 01:00:04,166
not have paint on will be

1693
01:00:04,166 --> 01:00:05,083
asked to leave the route.

1694
01:00:20,208 --> 01:00:21,500
So, yeah, I'm kind of all

1695
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:23,625
over the place in terms of ideas.

1696
01:00:24,625 --> 01:00:25,458
I just need...

1697
01:00:25,959 --> 01:00:26,500
I don't know.

1698
01:00:26,709 --> 01:00:27,792
I need feedback and

1699
01:00:27,792 --> 01:00:29,750
thoughts and direction.

1700
01:00:30,417 --> 01:00:30,625
Sure.

1701
01:00:30,917 --> 01:00:34,000
I think that we could just put the dust

1702
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,500
on you and that's it.

1703
01:00:36,333 --> 01:00:37,959
So you could really do anything.

1704
01:00:38,250 --> 01:00:40,792
But what I like about the metallics is

1705
01:00:40,792 --> 01:00:43,417
that you can still see skin.

1706
01:00:44,125 --> 01:00:47,083
Mm-hmm. You're still going to be nude.

1707
01:00:47,083 --> 01:00:48,875
Well, it's tough.

1708
01:00:49,041 --> 01:00:49,709
They're making other

1709
01:00:49,709 --> 01:00:51,917
people police their peers, too.

1710
01:00:51,917 --> 01:00:54,750
If you see someone who's naked, ask them

1711
01:00:54,750 --> 01:00:55,542
to put on more paint.

1712
01:00:56,041 --> 01:00:57,500
What would you say if somebody came up to

1713
01:00:57,500 --> 01:00:58,500
you and said, "You

1714
01:00:58,500 --> 01:00:59,250
look really great, Molly,

1715
01:00:59,250 --> 01:01:00,083
but you need to put some

1716
01:01:00,083 --> 01:01:01,041
more paint on your body"?

1717
01:01:02,625 --> 01:01:03,125
Go away?

1718
01:01:04,500 --> 01:01:05,458
What's your problem?

1719
01:01:05,834 --> 01:01:08,417
You know, why are you here if you have a

1720
01:01:08,417 --> 01:01:09,375
problem with naked people?

1721
01:01:10,709 --> 01:01:11,875
You know, there are a thousand naked

1722
01:01:11,875 --> 01:01:12,750
people standing all

1723
01:01:12,750 --> 01:01:13,750
around you and you're going to

1724
01:01:13,750 --> 01:01:16,083
police the amount of paint that I put on.

1725
01:01:16,125 --> 01:01:16,709
You know, it's...

1726
01:01:16,709 --> 01:01:17,750
Maybe no one will put on paint.

1727
01:01:19,125 --> 01:01:22,125
Honestly, this makes me more glad that

1728
01:01:22,125 --> 01:01:23,083
I'm not putting on paint.

1729
01:01:23,750 --> 01:01:28,208
I would love for that woman to come up to

1730
01:01:28,208 --> 01:01:29,083
me and tell me that I

1731
01:01:29,083 --> 01:01:30,417
need to be more painted,

1732
01:01:31,291 --> 01:01:31,959
less naked.

1733
01:01:36,500 --> 01:01:38,000
I'm not a person that's necessarily

1734
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,583
afraid of nakedness, and

1735
01:01:39,583 --> 01:01:41,083
I will be naked here and

1736
01:01:41,166 --> 01:01:43,583
there, but it's the

1737
01:01:43,583 --> 01:01:45,083
whole body image thing.

1738
01:01:47,792 --> 01:01:50,750
I think that folks will see on that day

1739
01:01:50,750 --> 01:01:51,500
that I'm fairly

1740
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,166
muscular, but I am still a short

1741
01:01:54,166 --> 01:01:57,750
kind of square man, and sometimes that

1742
01:01:57,750 --> 01:01:59,000
doesn't come across as

1743
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,959
well as I like on camera.

1744
01:02:04,750 --> 01:02:05,083
I'm glad we're doing this.

1745
01:02:05,125 --> 01:02:08,250
We get a chance to really figure out what

1746
01:02:08,250 --> 01:02:11,291
works and what doesn't.

1747
01:02:15,959 --> 01:02:17,834
I worry about all those guy things, you

1748
01:02:17,834 --> 01:02:19,166
know, those penis things.

1749
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:23,333
You know, I'm kind of an average guy, but

1750
01:02:23,333 --> 01:02:24,083
I'm a black guy, and

1751
01:02:24,083 --> 01:02:24,917
so people expect that

1752
01:02:24,917 --> 01:02:26,875
I'm going to be this kind of big stud,

1753
01:02:27,125 --> 01:02:29,583
and then, you know,

1754
01:02:29,583 --> 01:02:30,083
you think that my god, it

1755
01:02:30,125 --> 01:02:32,792
could be 50 degrees knowing Seattle that

1756
01:02:32,792 --> 01:02:35,041
day, and shrinkage is

1757
01:02:35,041 --> 01:02:36,625
kind of, there it is, and

1758
01:02:37,125 --> 01:02:37,959
I don't want people

1759
01:02:37,959 --> 01:02:39,417
straining too much to see it.

1760
01:02:40,291 --> 01:02:44,291
I worry about erections,

1761
01:02:44,291 --> 01:02:45,834
even though I'm almost 58.

1762
01:02:46,166 --> 01:02:49,083
I'm still kind of a lusty kind of guy,

1763
01:02:49,667 --> 01:02:50,917
and maybe because I go

1764
01:02:50,917 --> 01:02:51,917
to the gym and work out

1765
01:02:51,917 --> 01:02:55,542
so much, it's like it all still happens.

1766
01:02:57,083 --> 01:02:59,250
I can't imagine it actually happening

1767
01:02:59,250 --> 01:03:01,667
once I'm on the parade road,

1768
01:03:02,083 --> 01:03:03,917
but, you know, I don't know.

1769
01:03:06,250 --> 01:03:07,083
Today it might happen.

1770
01:03:07,959 --> 01:03:09,417
When I'm getting painted, it might

1771
01:03:09,417 --> 01:03:10,500
happen, you know, so

1772
01:03:10,500 --> 01:03:12,750
anyway, that's back there.

1773
01:03:13,750 --> 01:03:15,375
Could you tilt your head that way?

1774
01:03:15,709 --> 01:03:16,208
Sure. Thank you.

1775
01:03:16,417 --> 01:03:16,834
That's perfect.

1776
01:03:19,417 --> 01:03:21,625
Are you currently

1777
01:03:21,625 --> 01:03:23,834
using a Retin-A product?

1778
01:03:24,166 --> 01:03:24,917
I don't think so.

1779
01:03:26,125 --> 01:03:28,166
Do you use a tanning bed? No.

1780
01:03:28,750 --> 01:03:30,333
Am I nervous about the ride?

1781
01:03:30,667 --> 01:03:32,125
You're nervous about this thing?

1782
01:03:32,583 --> 01:03:33,750
I'm a little nervous.

1783
01:03:34,291 --> 01:03:35,750
What are you called when

1784
01:03:35,750 --> 01:03:37,125
you do this sort of thing?

1785
01:03:37,625 --> 01:03:38,583
Well, it's epilation.

1786
01:03:39,917 --> 01:03:40,875
Well, epilation, okay,

1787
01:03:40,875 --> 01:03:42,333
so you're an epilationist?

1788
01:03:42,333 --> 01:03:43,250
I'm an esthetician.

1789
01:03:43,250 --> 01:03:44,083
An esthetician?

1790
01:03:44,083 --> 01:03:44,834
Yes, I make the world

1791
01:03:44,834 --> 01:03:45,875
a more beautiful place.

1792
01:03:46,583 --> 01:03:47,917
I do not know what I'm in for.

1793
01:03:47,917 --> 01:03:48,667
You do not know what you're in for.

1794
01:03:48,667 --> 01:03:49,333
I mean, kind of, I've

1795
01:03:49,333 --> 01:03:51,208
seen the 40-year-old virgin.

1796
01:03:53,125 --> 01:03:56,500
So, some things that I want you to know

1797
01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:58,500
is that when the pain comes,

1798
01:03:58,500 --> 01:04:00,750
it's going to come hard and fast, and

1799
01:04:00,750 --> 01:04:02,792
it's going to go throb, throb, throb,

1800
01:04:03,917 --> 01:04:04,834
and then it's going to stop.

1801
01:04:05,667 --> 01:04:07,625
So, I'm going to have you

1802
01:04:07,625 --> 01:04:09,625
help me keep skin tight.

1803
01:04:10,125 --> 01:04:12,125
I'm also going to try

1804
01:04:12,125 --> 01:04:13,083
to coach you in breathing

1805
01:04:13,083 --> 01:04:15,208
to try to get you through it as

1806
01:04:15,208 --> 01:04:20,083
painfully, painlessly as possible.

1807
01:04:20,125 --> 01:04:21,625
Don't.

1808
01:04:23,417 --> 01:04:25,083
Okay, come on back.

1809
01:04:26,083 --> 01:04:27,583
This would be like at

1810
01:04:27,583 --> 01:04:28,417
the dentist's office,

1811
01:04:28,417 --> 01:04:28,875
where you're suddenly

1812
01:04:28,875 --> 01:04:29,834
hearing these screams,

1813
01:04:30,083 --> 01:04:32,208
and then I'm laying up the stairs.

1814
01:04:34,250 --> 01:04:35,625
Okay, Marlene, everything

1815
01:04:35,625 --> 01:04:37,000
off from the waist down.

1816
01:04:37,583 --> 01:04:37,792
And...

1817
01:04:40,500 --> 01:04:40,709
Beautiful.

1818
01:04:41,291 --> 01:04:42,041
Nice deep breath in.

1819
01:04:44,667 --> 01:04:45,583
And a teeny one.

1820
01:04:47,583 --> 01:04:47,917
Yes.

1821
01:04:50,125 --> 01:04:50,792
Perfect.

1822
01:04:52,125 --> 01:04:55,959
Breath in.

1823
01:04:56,583 --> 01:04:56,792
Ooh!

1824
01:04:57,417 --> 01:04:58,250
Breath in.

1825
01:04:58,917 --> 01:05:00,750
And breath in.

1826
01:05:01,875 --> 01:05:03,709
And nice deep breath in.

1827
01:05:04,583 --> 01:05:04,750
Oh!

1828
01:05:05,417 --> 01:05:06,208
I think that's it.

1829
01:05:06,750 --> 01:05:07,083
And a squeeze.

1830
01:05:09,208 --> 01:05:10,750
I feel so good.

1831
01:05:10,750 --> 01:05:11,417
I can feel the breeze.

1832
01:05:13,125 --> 01:05:14,000
All right, Miss Marlene.

1833
01:05:15,125 --> 01:05:15,875
You have it, Marlene.

1834
01:05:16,583 --> 01:05:17,458
Cool! Thank you.

1835
01:05:17,792 --> 01:05:18,291
Yeah, all right.

1836
01:05:20,792 --> 01:05:21,667
I've got my tequila.

1837
01:05:25,667 --> 01:05:30,083
All right.

1838
01:05:30,125 --> 01:05:30,458
Okay.

1839
01:05:30,750 --> 01:05:32,667
I want you to keep a nice deep breath in.

1840
01:05:32,667 --> 01:05:33,834
Hold it, hold it, hold it.

1841
01:05:33,834 --> 01:05:34,625
Blow it out and out.

1842
01:05:35,667 --> 01:05:36,792
There you go.

1843
01:05:37,291 --> 01:05:37,750
Deep breath.

1844
01:05:39,417 --> 01:05:40,583
No, it isn't bad at all.

1845
01:05:42,083 --> 01:05:42,959
Nice deep breath.

1846
01:05:44,417 --> 01:05:44,542
Excellent.

1847
01:05:47,083 --> 01:05:48,417
Actually, I'm going to watch the expert.

1848
01:05:51,834 --> 01:05:53,500
I... The adrenaline.

1849
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,500
It causes tremendous adrenaline

1850
01:05:55,500 --> 01:05:56,709
throughout your body.

1851
01:05:57,792 --> 01:05:58,750
Are your palms sweating?

1852
01:05:59,458 --> 01:06:00,750
My palms are not sweating.

1853
01:06:01,208 --> 01:06:03,792
But I feel things happening now.

1854
01:06:05,667 --> 01:06:06,125
It happens.

1855
01:06:06,458 --> 01:06:07,208
I know.

1856
01:06:07,208 --> 01:06:08,125
It's not personal.

1857
01:06:08,417 --> 01:06:10,709
Except that I'm a gay man.

1858
01:06:10,709 --> 01:06:12,583
A woman putting hot wax in me isn't

1859
01:06:12,583 --> 01:06:13,750
supposed to give me an erection.

1860
01:06:14,166 --> 01:06:16,291
Well, there's one way to sort of get it

1861
01:06:16,291 --> 01:06:17,834
to calm down that usually works.

1862
01:06:18,125 --> 01:06:19,917
And that is tweezing.

1863
01:06:21,125 --> 01:06:21,792
Tweezing?

1864
01:06:21,792 --> 01:06:22,583
Tweezing.

1865
01:06:23,041 --> 01:06:23,709
There we go.

1866
01:06:24,250 --> 01:06:25,250
That is cute.

1867
01:06:28,208 --> 01:06:28,583
What do you think?

1868
01:06:30,375 --> 01:06:31,083
It feels good.

1869
01:06:31,750 --> 01:06:32,083
It looks good.

1870
01:06:32,917 --> 01:06:34,250
I think it actually does look

1871
01:06:34,250 --> 01:06:37,166
bigger also than it used to.

1872
01:06:37,500 --> 01:06:38,750
Hey, that's the worth of pride to

1873
01:06:38,750 --> 01:06:39,667
admission right there.

1874
01:06:41,041 --> 01:06:43,834
All right.

1875
01:06:44,125 --> 01:06:48,458
I hope that the weight doesn't show.

1876
01:06:49,375 --> 01:06:50,041
Are you ready now?

1877
01:06:51,542 --> 01:06:52,291
I looked in the mirror

1878
01:06:52,291 --> 01:06:54,083
in the last week or so.

1879
01:06:55,083 --> 01:06:56,458
And I asked myself that question.

1880
01:06:56,458 --> 01:06:57,166
I really have.

1881
01:06:57,917 --> 01:06:59,625
No, I'm not ready.

1882
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,750
But the date is coming.

1883
01:07:02,542 --> 01:07:03,750
Whether I am perfect or

1884
01:07:03,750 --> 01:07:05,250
not, I'm going for it.

1885
01:07:06,041 --> 01:07:07,750
I'm not going to back out at all.

1886
01:07:08,041 --> 01:07:09,083
I'm not going to back out.

1887
01:07:14,166 --> 01:07:17,000
I don't know if I've seen her since we

1888
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:18,959
got her tattoo about a year ago.

1889
01:07:19,834 --> 01:07:26,875
Most of my major life events since I was

1890
01:07:26,875 --> 01:07:29,000
18, she's somehow been a part of...

1891
01:07:30,583 --> 01:07:32,333
I can't imagine two humans being closer

1892
01:07:32,333 --> 01:07:33,583
than Niki and I are to each other.

1893
01:07:34,583 --> 01:07:36,500
And I was with her when my dad died,

1894
01:07:36,500 --> 01:07:37,583
which was actually kind of the only

1895
01:07:37,583 --> 01:07:38,417
silver lining in that

1896
01:07:38,417 --> 01:07:40,083
whole jarring experience.

1897
01:07:42,917 --> 01:07:44,542
It was really...

1898
01:07:44,750 --> 01:07:45,625
I really held...

1899
01:07:45,959 --> 01:07:46,792
I just sort of...

1900
01:07:47,291 --> 01:07:50,417
Everything drops out from

1901
01:07:50,417 --> 01:07:51,583
beneath you in that moment.

1902
01:07:51,583 --> 01:07:52,041
And I just sort of

1903
01:07:52,041 --> 01:07:55,375
held on to this lifeline.

1904
01:07:56,500 --> 01:07:59,959
And that lifeline was Niki

1905
01:08:00,750 --> 01:08:02,166
Because she was awesome.

1906
01:08:02,166 --> 01:08:04,959
She was just a killer, complete strength.

1907
01:08:05,542 --> 01:08:06,125
I needed it.

1908
01:08:20,125 --> 01:08:20,333
Hi.

1909
01:08:21,166 --> 01:08:24,250
I saw the red bag.

1910
01:08:24,625 --> 01:08:26,041
I thought that might be her.

1911
01:08:27,458 --> 01:08:27,750
Hey.

1912
01:08:28,959 --> 01:08:31,375
I'll show you the forecast.

1913
01:08:31,583 --> 01:08:33,834
It's like a sandwich made out of 70

1914
01:08:33,834 --> 01:08:35,417
degree bread and rainy meat.

1915
01:08:39,083 --> 01:08:41,959
And we have to make sure we buy paint

1916
01:08:41,959 --> 01:08:44,417
that will withstand drizzle.

1917
01:08:44,750 --> 01:08:44,959
Yeah.

1918
01:08:45,333 --> 01:08:45,583
Okay.

1919
01:08:46,500 --> 01:08:47,291
So I got...

1920
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:48,208
This is like a typical

1921
01:08:48,208 --> 01:08:50,375
Phoenix sort of design right here.

1922
01:08:50,375 --> 01:08:51,041
Yeah, let's do that.

1923
01:08:51,041 --> 01:08:52,834
I was thinking blues and purples.

1924
01:08:53,417 --> 01:08:55,000
What do you think?

1925
01:08:55,291 --> 01:08:55,959
I like it.

1926
01:08:55,959 --> 01:08:57,417
Am I also going to be in high heels?

1927
01:08:58,250 --> 01:09:00,417
You're in high heels.

1928
01:09:01,792 --> 01:09:02,625
With monkey ears?

1929
01:09:02,834 --> 01:09:03,458
With monkey ears.

1930
01:09:03,750 --> 01:09:05,083
Are you excited about all this?

1931
01:09:05,083 --> 01:09:05,333
Yes.

1932
01:09:05,917 --> 01:09:06,458
I'm excited.

1933
01:09:06,750 --> 01:09:07,417
I'm very excited.

1934
01:09:08,083 --> 01:09:08,375
Are you nervous?

1935
01:09:09,208 --> 01:09:10,417
Well, I'm not nervous about...

1936
01:09:10,417 --> 01:09:10,792
Being naked?

1937
01:09:11,250 --> 01:09:11,625
Yeah.

1938
01:09:11,625 --> 01:09:14,917
I'm surprisingly calm about the part

1939
01:09:14,917 --> 01:09:16,917
about nudity and bike riding.

1940
01:09:17,875 --> 01:09:20,250
I'm most nervous about capturing the

1941
01:09:20,250 --> 01:09:21,000
whole thing on film.

1942
01:09:21,917 --> 01:09:23,250
Worst case scenario, whether...

1943
01:09:23,542 --> 01:09:26,166
Worst case scenario is maybe seeing

1944
01:09:26,166 --> 01:09:27,458
myself naked on film.

1945
01:09:28,250 --> 01:09:29,208
And being like, "Oh,

1946
01:09:29,208 --> 01:09:30,417
that's what I look like naked?"

1947
01:09:30,417 --> 01:09:32,458
Like, "I didn't know that it did that."

1948
01:09:33,417 --> 01:09:36,083
I think you're going to be adorable.

1949
01:09:36,125 --> 01:09:39,959
I think that you're a big part of that.

1950
01:09:45,250 --> 01:09:46,625
So this weekend, huh?

1951
01:09:46,625 --> 01:09:47,166
This weekend.

1952
01:09:48,083 --> 01:09:48,625
I don't know.

1953
01:09:49,125 --> 01:09:51,417
This morning it hit me.

1954
01:09:52,458 --> 01:09:53,917
It was getting dressed and I looked in

1955
01:09:53,917 --> 01:09:55,291
the mirror and I thought,

1956
01:09:55,750 --> 01:09:57,166
"Oh my gosh, someone's

1957
01:09:57,166 --> 01:09:58,000
going to see this view.

1958
01:09:58,417 --> 01:10:00,875
This is really, really surreal."

1959
01:10:03,166 --> 01:10:06,458
I've been weighing out what they said

1960
01:10:06,458 --> 01:10:07,417
about wearing paint.

1961
01:10:08,542 --> 01:10:10,625
And I even met a woman at the fundraiser

1962
01:10:10,625 --> 01:10:12,542
event who said that...

1963
01:10:13,125 --> 01:10:15,375
She said that sometimes when people

1964
01:10:15,375 --> 01:10:16,583
aren't wearing enough paint,

1965
01:10:16,583 --> 01:10:17,417
that people in the crowd

1966
01:10:17,417 --> 01:10:19,208
will shout, "Put some paint on!"

1967
01:10:19,959 --> 01:10:21,000
You know, like, "Oh,

1968
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:22,250
your nudity is offending us.

1969
01:10:22,583 --> 01:10:23,750
We didn't want to see you.

1970
01:10:23,750 --> 01:10:24,834
We want to see your paint.

1971
01:10:25,250 --> 01:10:27,083
Go back and put some paint on."

1972
01:10:27,125 --> 01:10:30,917
I might be... I don't know.

1973
01:10:30,917 --> 01:10:33,250
I might not feel very happy

1974
01:10:33,250 --> 01:10:34,875
if someone shouted that at me.

1975
01:10:35,875 --> 01:10:36,709
Do you seriously think someone's going to

1976
01:10:36,709 --> 01:10:37,959
shout at you, "Put some paint on?"

1977
01:10:37,959 --> 01:10:38,834
I don't know.

1978
01:10:42,500 --> 01:10:44,417
There's another consideration, too, which

1979
01:10:44,417 --> 01:10:49,792
is that I'm going to have River with me.

1980
01:10:50,792 --> 01:10:51,709
And he's just... he's

1981
01:10:51,709 --> 01:10:52,917
really excited about it.

1982
01:10:54,125 --> 01:10:55,125
But the more that I'm

1983
01:10:55,125 --> 01:10:56,250
thinking about it now,

1984
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,500
I'm starting to think that it's going to

1985
01:10:59,500 --> 01:11:00,250
be kind of a hassle.

1986
01:11:00,834 --> 01:11:02,792
And then I started thinking he'd be

1987
01:11:02,792 --> 01:11:04,291
really crushed if Mommy

1988
01:11:04,291 --> 01:11:05,125
got to ride in the parade

1989
01:11:05,125 --> 01:11:06,667
and he didn't get to ride in the parade.

1990
01:11:06,667 --> 01:11:07,667
He'd be really upset.

1991
01:11:07,667 --> 01:11:09,125
He'd talk about it for months.

1992
01:11:11,083 --> 01:11:12,208
Still got a lot to do.

1993
01:11:12,208 --> 01:11:14,875
I've still got to pull together my

1994
01:11:14,875 --> 01:11:17,250
costume or my look or whatever.

1995
01:11:17,417 --> 01:11:18,583
I've still got to get my bike.

1996
01:11:20,166 --> 01:11:22,667
And I've got to figure

1997
01:11:22,667 --> 01:11:23,583
out what to do with my son.

1998
01:11:24,875 --> 01:11:27,083
So, you know, just take it like it's a

1999
01:11:27,083 --> 01:11:30,041
your thing and do it and have fun.

2000
01:11:30,417 --> 01:11:33,125
And your son maybe is going to be a

2001
01:11:33,125 --> 01:11:34,583
little upset, but you know,

2002
01:11:34,583 --> 01:11:35,792
he's going to forget about it.

2003
01:11:50,125 --> 01:11:57,792

2004
01:12:01,375 --> 01:12:01,583
What?

Do you know what time it is?

2008
01:12:28,750 --> 01:12:29,917
Morning, Dan.

2009
01:12:30,125 --> 01:12:31,250
So, are you all ready for the big day?

2010
01:12:31,583 --> 01:12:32,417
I am so ready.

2011
01:12:32,792 --> 01:12:33,625
Look who's coming.

2012
01:12:33,750 --> 01:12:34,250
I know.

2013
01:12:34,250 --> 01:12:34,750
Look who's coming.

2014
01:12:35,250 --> 01:12:37,458
Well, good luck.

2015
01:13:06,125 --> 01:13:08,250
When do you get the opportunity to watch

2016
01:13:08,250 --> 01:13:09,083
Naked People with

2017
01:13:09,083 --> 01:13:10,000
your wife and it's okay?

2018
01:13:11,333 --> 01:13:12,750
It's just a great opportunity.

2024
01:15:02,125 --> 01:15:02,583
Hey, everyone.

2025
01:15:03,208 --> 01:15:06,458
Being responsible for all this is quite

2026
01:15:06,458 --> 01:15:08,375
an opportunity to spread freedom.

2027
01:15:08,875 --> 01:15:10,417
We have soccer players.

2028
01:15:10,792 --> 01:15:12,000
We have farm girls.

2029
01:15:12,125 --> 01:15:13,959
We have a big dragon

2030
01:15:13,959 --> 01:15:16,250
butterfly behind you over there.

2031
01:15:16,834 --> 01:15:17,417
Fairies.

2032
01:15:17,917 --> 01:15:19,625
We have people painting each other,

2033
01:15:19,959 --> 01:15:21,417
strangers that are just meeting.

2034
01:15:22,125 --> 01:15:24,083
What do your name anyway?

2035
01:15:24,583 --> 01:15:25,041
Jacoba.

2036
01:15:25,583 --> 01:15:27,083
Jacoba.

2037
01:15:27,083 --> 01:15:28,125
They for letting me paint.

2038
01:15:28,417 --> 01:15:28,583
Yeah.

2039
01:15:30,250 --> 01:15:32,250
Sometimes people come here and

2040
01:15:32,250 --> 01:15:33,542
they might meet their husband.

2041
01:15:35,667 --> 01:15:36,333
Don't move your mouth.

2042
01:15:37,208 --> 01:15:38,875
You know, as long as you're living your

2043
01:15:38,875 --> 01:15:39,542
life and having a good

2044
01:15:39,542 --> 01:15:40,667
time and not hurting anybody,

2045
01:15:41,125 --> 01:15:43,291
why not?

2046
01:15:44,083 --> 01:15:48,250
[Laughter]

2047
01:15:48,250 --> 01:15:50,125
Move your foot back a little bit.

2048
01:15:51,125 --> 01:15:54,166
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there we go.

2049
01:15:54,166 --> 01:15:55,250
That's a nice shot, guys.

2050
01:15:56,959 --> 01:15:58,083
I'm the farmer's wife

2051
01:15:58,083 --> 01:16:00,250
and I cut off her tails.

2052
01:16:00,917 --> 01:16:02,000
See?

2053
01:16:03,125 --> 01:16:04,250
[Laughter]

2054
01:16:04,250 --> 01:16:08,041
I want to do this because I wanted to

2055
01:16:08,041 --> 01:16:10,083
accept my body for what it is

2056
01:16:10,083 --> 01:16:11,291
and it was a great

2057
01:16:11,291 --> 01:16:13,333
opportunity for me to do this

2058
01:16:13,333 --> 01:16:16,750
and I'm hoping that it just releases some

2059
01:16:16,750 --> 01:16:19,333
inhibitions and to love my body.

2060
01:16:20,291 --> 01:16:21,750
There's nothing wrong with it.

2061
01:16:22,583 --> 01:16:22,834
[Laughter]

2062
01:16:23,125 --> 01:16:24,917
I think this is one of

2063
01:16:24,917 --> 01:16:26,000
the best Seattle traditions

2064
01:16:26,125 --> 01:16:27,667
because it's beautiful that we celebrate

2065
01:16:27,667 --> 01:16:29,917
the sun even when it's not out.

2066
01:16:30,208 --> 01:16:31,000
It really just feels like

2067
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,542
we're all kind of old friends

2068
01:16:32,542 --> 01:16:33,917
just getting together to do something

2069
01:16:33,917 --> 01:16:35,125
that's a little bit crazy

2070
01:16:35,125 --> 01:16:37,083
but is going to be fun.

2071
01:16:37,125 --> 01:16:39,625
I thought it was going

2072
01:16:39,625 --> 01:16:40,792
to be a lot creepier.

2073
01:16:41,417 --> 01:16:42,083
There is.

2074
01:16:43,917 --> 01:16:45,125
I guess I'm just not

2075
01:16:45,125 --> 01:16:46,291
used to Seattle culture.

2076
01:16:48,750 --> 01:16:49,583
Is it looking good?

2077
01:16:50,417 --> 01:16:51,291
How do you like my feathers?

2078
01:16:52,083 --> 01:16:52,417
Lovely.

2079
01:16:52,417 --> 01:16:52,917
Are those pretty?

2080
01:16:53,583 --> 01:16:56,041
How's it going Emily?

2081
01:16:57,083 --> 01:16:57,542
I'm good.

2082
01:16:58,375 --> 01:16:59,750
Niki's painting hearts all over me

2083
01:17:01,083 --> 01:17:02,667
and the last one she's going to paint is

2084
01:17:02,667 --> 01:17:03,709
a tattoo on my shoulder.

2085
01:17:03,709 --> 01:17:04,458
It's going to say "The Bob."

2086
01:17:06,125 --> 01:17:07,375
I called him The Bob when

2087
01:17:07,375 --> 01:17:08,250
I wasn't calling him dad.

2088
01:17:08,709 --> 01:17:10,875
He always got to kick out of it.

2089
01:17:22,125 --> 01:17:24,333
What's about to happen here?

2090
01:17:24,625 --> 01:17:25,417
What's about to happen?

2091
01:17:25,750 --> 01:17:26,959
Let me check my watch.

2092
01:17:27,750 --> 01:17:28,625
Right now we're about to

2093
01:17:28,625 --> 01:17:30,542
see some nudie cyclists.

2094
01:17:31,083 --> 01:17:31,417
Some what?

2095
01:17:32,250 --> 01:17:33,208
Well they're not.

2096
01:17:33,208 --> 01:17:34,083
They're actually not nudists.

2097
01:17:35,166 --> 01:17:36,917
They are artistically painted.

2098
01:17:37,375 --> 01:17:40,083
We feel super excited about it.

2099
01:17:40,083 --> 01:17:41,250
I checked the website

2100
01:17:41,250 --> 01:17:42,667
and looked some pictures.

2101
01:17:43,625 --> 01:17:44,875
Super excited.

2102
01:17:45,583 --> 01:17:47,000
People naked.

2103
01:17:48,583 --> 01:17:50,500
I don't like seeing people naked.

2104
01:17:54,542 --> 01:17:56,333
It appears that there's going to be some

2105
01:17:56,333 --> 01:17:57,750
naked bicycling going

2106
01:17:57,750 --> 01:17:58,959
on here in Fremont today.

2107
01:17:59,959 --> 01:18:00,625
There's going to be a lot

2108
01:18:00,625 --> 01:18:02,083
of people all over the place.

2109
01:18:02,125 --> 01:18:04,083
That gentleman right there, he's got a

2110
01:18:04,083 --> 01:18:04,750
little bit of clothes on.

2111
01:18:05,250 --> 01:18:09,208
I'm amazed at how big

2112
01:18:09,208 --> 01:18:10,125
this thing's gotten.

2113
01:18:10,917 --> 01:18:11,917
Yeah, and he's turning all this.

2114
01:18:12,750 --> 01:18:13,291
That's what they say.

2115
01:18:14,792 --> 01:18:16,750
One night we were having a few beers,

2116
01:18:17,041 --> 01:18:17,834
maybe a little smoke.

2117
01:18:18,333 --> 01:18:19,583
I don't know, 15, 16

2118
01:18:19,583 --> 01:18:20,583
people there that night.

2119
01:18:21,417 --> 01:18:23,583
Some of the students mentioned that

2120
01:18:23,583 --> 01:18:26,458
wouldn't it be great if we maybe would

2121
01:18:26,458 --> 01:18:28,291
streak in the solstice parade.

2122
01:18:28,750 --> 01:18:29,667
Somebody else said, "Well,

2123
01:18:29,667 --> 01:18:30,625
we're mountain bike riders.

2124
01:18:31,125 --> 01:18:32,542
We should ride our bikes in the parade."

2125
01:18:33,417 --> 01:18:35,959
And then somehow those two things merged.

2126
01:18:36,417 --> 01:18:37,125
Well maybe we should

2127
01:18:37,125 --> 01:18:38,333
ride our bikes naked.

2128
01:18:39,667 --> 01:18:40,875
Everybody said they were going to do it.

2129
01:18:41,875 --> 01:18:44,250
The next day, Gabe and I are the only

2130
01:18:44,250 --> 01:18:46,917
ones that met at the specified time.

2131
01:18:49,250 --> 01:18:50,250
All kinds of thoughts are

2132
01:18:50,250 --> 01:18:50,959
going through your head.

2133
01:18:51,250 --> 01:18:52,750
Should we really do this?

2134
01:18:53,083 --> 01:18:55,208
What's going to happen when we do this?

2135
01:18:56,875 --> 01:18:58,583
We just looked at each other and we said,

2136
01:18:59,250 --> 01:19:00,750
"Let's do it. Let's ride."

2137
01:19:15,375 --> 01:19:16,125
They're leaving, they're

2138
01:19:16,125 --> 01:19:17,000
leaving, they're leaving.

2139
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:18,166
Let's go, let's go, folks.

2140
01:19:18,542 --> 01:19:19,917
Enjoy your ride. Be safe.

2141
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:21,000
See your file.

2142
01:19:21,750 --> 01:19:23,000
Watch out for Ballard traffic.

2143
01:19:26,125 --> 01:19:26,917
Is that enough?

2144
01:19:27,917 --> 01:19:28,125
Yeah.

2145
01:19:31,083 --> 01:19:32,250
That's beautiful.

The best, most amazing, and most unique

2151
01:21:32,750 --> 01:21:34,166
parade in the whole world.

2157
01:22:36,834 --> 01:22:39,959
In my experience at this parade, the cold

2158
01:22:39,959 --> 01:22:41,417
weather makes the women look

2159
01:22:41,417 --> 01:22:43,083
better and the men look worse.

2164
01:23:34,333 --> 01:23:37,166
Well, two years ago, I was at the parade

2165
01:23:37,166 --> 01:23:38,083
with a friend of mine

2166
01:23:38,083 --> 01:23:40,083
and I saw her go by.

2167
01:23:40,083 --> 01:23:41,750
She was wearing a, she was naked Elvis.

2168
01:23:42,083 --> 01:23:44,583
She was like, Elvis from Vegas, you know,

2169
01:23:44,583 --> 01:23:45,250
with the capes and the

2170
01:23:45,250 --> 01:23:46,041
jewels and everything.

2171
01:23:46,625 --> 01:23:47,750
And I thought it was the most amazing

2172
01:23:47,750 --> 01:23:49,750
costume and we met like a month later.

2173
01:23:50,875 --> 01:23:52,083
And that was two years ago.

2174
01:23:52,583 --> 01:23:53,333
You met her out here.

2175
01:23:53,750 --> 01:23:54,583
I met her here, yeah.

2176
01:23:54,875 --> 01:23:55,083
Riding naked?

2177
01:23:55,500 --> 01:23:56,417
Well, I saw her for the

2178
01:23:56,417 --> 01:23:57,917
first time riding naked, yeah.

2179
01:23:57,917 --> 01:23:59,125
So you saw her riding naked?

2180
01:23:59,166 --> 01:23:59,500
Yeah.

2181
01:24:00,125 --> 01:24:01,417
And what did she look like?

2182
01:24:02,250 --> 01:24:03,750
She was, she was Elvis.

2183
01:24:04,083 --> 01:24:04,917
But did she look hot?

2184
01:24:05,250 --> 01:24:06,625
Oh, yeah. Of course.

2185
01:24:07,208 --> 01:24:08,125
She looked great.

2186
01:24:08,417 --> 01:24:09,709

And for some reason it

2198
01:26:18,583 --> 01:26:20,000
was taken away from us.

01:26:20,375 --> 01:26:21,333
But some people are

2200
01:26:21,333 --> 01:26:22,750
willing to go beyond that.

Aaron well there is only one Seattle team

2204
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:37,041
so we're going as Storm

2205
01:26:37,041 --> 01:26:38,208
and that's why we

2206
01:26:38,208 --> 01:26:40,166
added the feminine touch.

I've got a new concept going of

2208
01:26:43,500 --> 01:26:44,709
cross-dressing nudists.

2209
01:26:45,166 --> 01:26:47,125
If you can convince somebody, you're a

2210
01:26:47,125 --> 01:26:49,083
woman, when you're naked,

2211
01:26:49,333 --> 01:26:50,792
that's sort of the ultimate

2212
01:26:50,792 --> 01:26:54,000
cross-dressing experience now, isn't it?

2213
01:26:55,083 --> 01:27:00,125
[Cheering]

2214
01:27:00,125 --> 01:27:06,083
How you gonna do all that?

2215
01:27:06,125 --> 01:27:11,083
[Music]

2216
01:27:17,083 --> 01:27:17,709
Awesome.

2217
01:27:20,083 --> 01:27:21,583
This is nothing like this.

2218
01:27:21,875 --> 01:27:23,333
Nothing like this in the world.

2219

[Music]

2220
01:27:30,500 --> 01:27:44,417
We need one butt there, one butt here,

2221
01:27:44,417 --> 01:27:45,667
and the third butt right

2222
01:27:45,667 --> 01:27:46,792
in the middle facing me.

2223
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:48,667
[Cheering]

2224
01:27:50,125 --> 01:27:52,291
[Music]

2225
01:27:52,291 --> 01:27:54,875
I mean, what do you want to do? Look

2226
01:27:54,875 --> 01:27:56,375
around at your life and

2227
01:27:56,375 --> 01:27:57,375
when you're older and go,

2228
01:27:57,917 --> 01:28:02,250
"Wow, what did I do? My time's short, so

2229
01:28:02,250 --> 01:28:03,583
I am doing everything I

2230
01:28:03,583 --> 01:28:05,208
can that I want to do."

2231
01:28:07,250 --> 01:28:07,834
[Music]

2232
01:28:07,834 --> 01:28:10,709
It was so joyful and it's all stuffed

2233
01:28:10,709 --> 01:28:14,041
right here. Pure fucking joy.

2234
01:28:14,542 --> 01:28:14,625
[Laughter]

2235
01:28:16,125 --> 01:28:18,917
It certainly taught me to be way more

2236
01:28:18,917 --> 01:28:20,125
suspicious of my fears.

2237
01:28:22,458 --> 01:28:24,208
This has probably just been about the

2238
01:28:24,208 --> 01:28:25,125
best day of my life.

2239
01:28:27,166 --> 01:28:28,917
I think everyone's got something

2240
01:28:28,917 --> 01:28:30,417
different to express.

2241
01:28:31,125 --> 01:28:32,750
You could ask every single rider in that

2242
01:28:32,750 --> 01:28:35,083
parade what their reason is for riding

2243
01:28:35,083 --> 01:28:35,625
and they're going to

2244
01:28:35,625 --> 01:28:36,625
give you a different answer.

2245
01:28:38,583 --> 01:28:39,417
I think it's a

2246
01:28:39,417 --> 01:28:41,792
manifestation of my own personal power.

2247
01:28:42,166 --> 01:28:46,208
Honestly, this is a silly misbehavior.

2248
01:28:46,583 --> 01:28:49,083
It's just something that I can say I did.

2249
01:28:50,041 --> 01:28:51,625
One thing to cross off the list, I guess.
