Default Into the Thunderdragon


Into the Thunderdragon is a film about two guys traveling through
Bhutan, with unicycles. There is plenty of unicycling, but it's also a
travelogue of Bhutan. In other words, non-unicyclists can watch it. It's
not solid unicycling, or "unicycle porn" as somebody calls videos of
nothing but riding, with no plot or storyline.

Universe II is expected to be completed sometime in September. Don't
bother with a preview, just get ready to order a copy! Plans are to show
the full video at the California MUni Weekend in October. I just have to
figure out how to fit 50+ people into my living room, which is where the
"good" TV is...

That will be great to see U2 with a ton of unicyclists - shades of that wild
showing in the bar in China of the first one back in 2000. Nice as it might
be though, John's TV is too big to move! We'll have to squeeze inside. We
could have two showings too (probably will anyway as in China).

I didn't come up with the "porn" designation for action sports videos.
I've heard mountain bikers refer to MTB action videos as bike porn and
I've heard kayakers refer to kayaking videos as kayak porn. The only
requirement for the "porn" designation is that it's an action sports
video with all action and no plot.

And driving, action-oriented music, ideally without words....

John, allow me to help in this time of need. I invite everyone to my
house for this feature showing of UniVerseII. I have a huge game
room/den in my basement, complete with 57" Widescreen TV with DVD
player.

Plane tickets from CA to TN shouldn't be to bad during October, plus,
I'll plan a really nice ride for right after the showing. Plus, I'll
throw in buttered popcorn for free! --chirokid--
