Call for submissions for DIY Bike Porn video contest and BIKE PORN ZINE contributions for the October 18th Bike Porn 2 screening.

Ever wanted to be a pornstar, but couldn’t tear yourself away from
your beloved bike long enough to film anything?

Questions, suggestions, zine submissions, offers of help, etc.: talk
to Owen at WNBRdenver@gmail.com

Next Saturday, October 18th, not only do you get to come to a fabulous screening of not one, but TWO films about bike porn (both collections of shorts by various artists exploring the theme of bike porn), BUT ALSO, you (and your bike!) get the chance to be a star!

DIY PORN

Bring us your DVDs containing a 6-minute-or-less homemade (i.e.
original!) clip of whatever you think is bike porn. This can be
anything from creative videos of sexy bikes in motion, all the way
to…well, your imagination is as good as mine. Pretty much anything
goes, just be creative and sexy, however you define that… and
obviously within reason (i.e. probably not a good idea to have a video
of yourself or a buddy doing anything too illegal!) Try to get it in
.avi format or anything else that will play in either Windows Media
Player or QuickTime.

Clips will be screened before and after the screening of the second
Bike Porn film, and we will come up with some way of determining who
among the contestants deserves a fabulous prize! DVDs will be returned
to contestants, and copies will *not* be permanently kept by anyone
associated with the organization of the Bike Porn screening (unless
you want them to be!)

Bring your best efforts to:
Bike Porn screening
Saturday, October 18th
show starts at 8, try to show up a little earlier if you’re bringing stuff
Orange Cat Studios
2625 Larimer St., Denver
Show is open to anyone 18+, even if you’re not bringing submissions
for the BYO Bike Porn contest.

P.S. These don’t have to be super-duper polished or video-edited or
any of that stuff. Remember, it’s supposed to be DIY! You can go to
bikesmut.com for ideas and inspiration. Any kind of bikes and
(consenting adult) humans, toys, puppets, animation, stop-motion
animation, or whatever you kids are into, are par for the course.
Heck, we’ll even take some stills or slideshows if that’s what you’ve
got.
Have fun!

ZINE

But wait a minute, you may be saying – I love the idea of creating my
own Bike Porn and sharing it with my community, but I don’t do video!
In fact, I don’t even own a camera! I draw, write, and paint! How can
I get in on this marvelous opportunity to celebrate the sexiness of
bikes as a community? Don’t worry - we’re putting together a companion
zine for the show! Send us your photos, essays, essay-snapshots,
drawings, flash, cartoons, xeroxable collages, poems, diagrams,
stories, instructions for DIY sex-toys-made-out-of-bicycle-parts, etc.
Photographs can either be “screened” or incorporated into the zine, or
both, you decide. We need them by Friday at 6:00pm. Yeah, I know
that’s a really short notice for a zine submission… but that’s all
the
time we got to work with unfortunately. Do your best. I’m sure you’ve
already got some random pictures lying around of some night when you
and your girlfriend and your bike got shitfaced and went crazy. No?
What’s wrong with you then?

ALSO – if anyone (especially if you already know what the hell you’re
doing when it comes to zines) wants to volunteer to coordinate this
little zine project, or even just offer some assistance, PLEASE step
up! (I mean come on, if you already do zines anyway, how can you NOT
want to get in on something like this? Bike Porn, man!)

Questions, suggestions, zine submissions, offers of help, etc.: talk
to Owen at WNBRdenver@gmail.com (FYI, this event and any associated
activities are in no way associated with the Denver World Naked Bike
Ride; I just don’t have time to go create another email address…)
