one thing that really surprised me about last night was the overwhelming support we got from onlookers. i mean, i know we were naked and all (and that’s bound to garner some sort of fandom), but i really expected more mixed reviews. i didn’t hear anything negative. people were honking their horns and getting out of their cars to cheer. even the cars that were stopped at their green lights or stuck in the pack were rolling down their windows and giving people high fives. at one point, we passed a fully-clothed cyclist that had obviously been previously unaware of the ride. there was a look of complete and utter shock on her face as she was confronted the crowd but then, after a moment, she shrugged, stripped off her shirt, and joined the pack. totally fucking awesome.
