Had a meeting with the entire AI-group, with some presentations of the things the others are busy with right now and a slideshow of pictures of their visit to Japan by Simon and Betsy :) Tried to find some papers, then went home to take my bike on the subway to Union Square for Critical Mass (once a month they try to gather enough bicycles to stop other traffic while cycling through Manhattan). Because I arived early, tried to buy a lock for my bike, didn't succeed because the bikeshop closed early.. I did manage to grab a burger and a drink before the group got on the way, but only 5 minutes after turning on 6th Avenue, the police came and dispersed the group, And arrested some people (luckely, I wasn't one of them :)). Went back to Union Square to meet up with other cyclists who heard the group would rejoin at Columbia Circle, but when we got there, the police already there too, so Meghan (with whom I rode to Columbia Circle) asked me to have a drink at a bar at St Marksstreet. We drank and talked (also with the bartender who was a friend of hers) untill 0.30 then rode across the Manhattan bridge to Brooklyn, where I took the subway home.

At Critical Mass I met Meghan, who took me to a bar with bartender Jarrett (?). After having a drink we rode back to Brooklyn.

Is it possible for you not to have a run-in with the police for like, let's say, a week?

so what do you pay for a pint over there? hmm, on second thought, you might not be the right person to ask.
